The Paris Novel by Ruth Reichl

Reading this book was like being in Paris. The description of food, wine, couture, art, and BOOKSHOPS was just luxurious. Plus throw in a Mysterious Artist, missing paintings, evil fiancées, lost fathers, and a band of bookish misfits— the perfect recipe for a can’t-put-it down read! Ruth Reich hasn’t just written a book, she’s created an EXPERIENCE. The kitchen scenes were my favs. Loved it!

The Moorings of Mackerel Sky by MZ

Oh my. This book is luminously beautiful. The storytelling, the mood-setting, the heartbreak, and the romance—it is simply perfect. I’m wandering around in a dreamy bubble after reading it nearly in one sitting.

The Last Tale of the Flower Bride by Roshani Chokshi

Creeeeeepy…. A slow, torturous plot unfolding at a pace that will have you reading faster and faster to see what happens next! Dark and with a dreamy haze over it– excellent for dark and stormy night reading.
