Not the best Guido adventure, but a surprising one. The ending I did not expect. Donna sets the scene - I feel as if I have lived in Venice!

I’ve been reading a lot of romances lately and picked this out of my TBR to get back into thrillers and because I just found out this is a show on Netflix. I’m not sure why, but I didn’t get as into this book as I had hoped. It could have been the writing style, it could have been not being able to picture the setting, or it could have simply been that I wasn’t in the mindset for a thriller. Regardless, this book was just okay. I’m excited to watch the tv series and see how things are visually presented and this might make me enjoy the book more. More to come on that!

Translated from Italian, this gives the impression (possibly mistaken) that all disagreements are settled by repeatedly hitting and punching those who disagree. The brilliant friend drops out of school, marries wealth, becomes unrecognizable, but is perhaps brilliant.

Spark is an amazing book! I’d recommend this to readers who like fantasy stories!

After being drawn to the bright, beautiful cover and meeting Annabel Monaghan at a bookstore, Summer Romance was the first of her books I’ve read. I loved this one and now I’m ready to read all the rest! A super cute romance about a divorced single parent, this book is more than just a summer romance!

after taking a break from reading over July 4th it took me a while to get into it again. The battle descriptions are becoming a bit tedious.... but I still find the book overall to become more enjoyable. But Arthur, like a 12 year old despite being so called a "King" in the past life started running from battlefront to battlefront, as if the strategic emphasis that he himself had meticulously worded with long strings of boring text were garbage. He left the frontlines to save Tess, then again to save his parents, whom both turned out to not need the saving.

This book was alright. It was kind of like a “what happens after the Aristocats movie.” It was sweet and funny, but it didn’t appeal to me like a 5 star book would.

I don't give away spoilers in my reviews. I have very recently read books one and three in Ms. Cambridge's An American in Paris mystery series and loved both. I especially love how the history and culture of Paris is so detailed in her books. Tabitha and Julia are the best pair of friends. Julia is teaching Tabitha how to cook and Tabitha helps Julia with her French. The two of them made me laugh thoroughout this book as well as the other two books. Tabitha has again decided to help with local murders when she witnesses them. I don't want to give anything away so won't list who is murdered. I especially enjoy how much she annoys the Inspector with her helpfulness in solving crimes, bringing clues to him, etc. An American in Paris Mystery series was fun to read as someone who loves mysteries and cozies. I also very much enjoyed learning more about the Paris catacombs, about how important wine was during the war and in Paris culture, all of the numerous cats that are in Paris and the Coke concern. (from my Goodreads review)

A very interesting story of the Murano, Italy, glass industry. The chapters move through centuries of time as the characters age very little, making it a bit confusing to follow the story line.

Amazing book 10/10 recommend
