I'm just so envious that you have a dishwasher! I loved The Scarlet Pimpernel! And yes...that movie with Jane Seymour is wonderful! Ooh the Mrs. Lewis one sounds great! Have a lovely Sunday!
As a quilter, I have read and thoroughly enjoyed all of the Jennifer Chiaverini quilt books. The one you mentioned has been on my list since it came out 😅. I've never heard of Laura Frantz, I think I would like her from what you said. The D.E. Stevenson (Mitzi has mentioned her several times on her channel) book looks good too! Thank you for sharing and happy reading 📚!!
I do enjoy Laura Frantz. She writes lovely historical fiction typically set in early colonial America. Yes, there are a couple BookTubers who have really sung D E Stevenson's praises so I'm anxious to try her books.
@@insearchofwonder your description of this author sounds right up alley! Oh, I forgot to mention that just last week a coworker told me about The Last Pimpernel!! Have you read Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier?
I've read all of the True Colors books. I loved and kept all of them except one, maybe two. Each time I finished a book, I had to jump down the rabbit hole of the crime it was based on. 😂 I loved this video. ❤
You'll love Listening Valley. Super encouraging. The White City was intriguing- Not the best of that series but it was fun. I didn't really like The Blue Cloak--it's brutal. Even my mom was shaken by it, and nothing bothers mom. My favorites in that series were The Green Dress and The Gray Chamber (Nellie Bly inspired). EEEP! Out of the Easy??? MUST HAVE IT! The Book Thief is sooo good. Did not care for Becoming Mrs. Lewis but I LOVED Once Upon a Wardrobe--LOVED it. I just learned about one today about the horses in Poland during WWII and how Patton and some army volunteers got these amazing horses out before Russia invaded. Until Our Time Comes by Nicole M. Miller
OK good to know you liked The Book thief. I will probably like it also. And I've heard the same thing from others regarding the two Patti Callahan books. Until Our Time Comes sounds interesting!
I was coming to add the same things about Listening Valley (and Celia's House is one of my favorite DES books) and the Patty Callahan books. I rad Once Upon a Wardrobe first and LOVED it!! But then I started Becoming Mrs. Lewis and got really discouraged by it. I DNF'd it. I'm so glad I didn't read it first or I wouldn't have read the other and would have missed out. I haven't read any of the others.
@@ChautonaHavig How funny you should ask. I just DNF'd it. Not because I didn't like it, but it was just taking me too long to get invested in the story and I felt in the mood for something else. I'd like to go back and finish it though. What did you think?
I don't think I've ever read 'The Scarlet Pimpernel' but own it. I need to read that. And I've never read a Laura Frantz but want to. I'm writing my review for 'Becoming Mrs. Lewis right now. I was disappointed in what it turned out to be. I predict that you won't care for it.
Oh did you just read Becoming Mrs. Lewis? I know their story is an interesting one with potential for scandal. You are probably right - I've heard others say the same thing so we'll see!
Hmmm we'll see if I ever feel up for The Blue Cloak. The White City was fun, nothing dark and no difficult content really. Although I'll admit I skimmed some parts that might have been scary (not b/c they were scary but b/c I wanted to get to the end lol).
I was not aware that CS Lewis was married. From some of his other writings I guess I just took it that he was never married. Must be he wrote that before he was married. Interesting. I also gather from the beginning of your video. You're not a big fan of that room. 😂
I believe he was married much later in life. And not for very long, because if I'm not mistaken, his wife died of cancer. I think I am remembering that correctly. Hoping that room will be a much more pleasant place by the end of July!
Salt to the Sea is my vote for you! Ruta Sepetys is amazing.
Yes! I definitely want to get to all her books.
The cover of Listening Valley... gorgeous!
It is a good cover, isn't it?
@@insearchofwonder really is
WOOHOOO home renovation time! Exasperating but rewarding 💚
I'm expecting the first and hoping for the latter. 😜
Salt to the sea was really good.
Yeah I'm really looking forward to reading that one.
I'm just so envious that you have a dishwasher! I loved The Scarlet Pimpernel! And yes...that movie with Jane Seymour is wonderful! Ooh the Mrs. Lewis one sounds great! Have a lovely Sunday!
Well I will be very grateful for my noisy dishwasher even when it interrupts my attempts to film! It's a huge blessing for sure.
I remember enjoying the Patty Callahan books. Are you surprised? 😂😂😂
Nope! 😁
Salt to the Sea was so, So, SO good!
I really need to read it - everyone raves about it!
I loved Salt to the Sea.
I've heard nothing but good things!
You aren't alone in your love of historical fiction.
❤️❤️❤️
Scarlet Pimpernel!!!
Still haven't gotten to that one. Not enough time in the day!
hmmm, hadn't heard of Ragtime, but it sounds good. Ragtime music is fun.
It is fun!
Shannon Mcnear is one of my favorite authors and The Blue Cloak was so interesting when I read it a few years ago.😎📚
I've never read anything by her!

Ohhh I have Mrs. Lincoln's Dressmaker on my shelf too!
Maybe we can buddy read it sometime.
@@insearchofwonder I would love that! Just say when 🙂
@@protagonistspub August or September would work for me. I've got a lot going on in July.
@insearchofwonder September sounds grand, inspired by you I'm making August pure mood reads. 🙂
@@protagonistspub love it! Is that your birthday month?
Becoming Mrs Lewis is on my TBR list....I am going to wait for your review before I buy it.
OK I will definitely let everyone know my thoughts on it!
I've read all of the True Colors books. I loved and kept all of them except one, maybe two. Each time I finished a book, I had to jump down the rabbit hole of the crime it was based on. 😂 I loved this video. ❤
Yes, I have discovered I kind of really like true crime sorts of stories. Very intriguing, although I suppose in a macabre sort of way. 😜
You'll love Listening Valley. Super encouraging.

@@insearchofwonder yes. My review is up.
Not helpful, but they all sound amazing!
I know, that's the problem. Too many books, not enough time!
I enjoyed The White City. The Blue Cloak got really inappropriate (the contents of the story; I'd say it was fairly tastefully handled), so I DNFed.
