Blog Tour and Review: Another Woman’s Husband by Gill Paul

Blog Tour and Review: Another Woman’s Husband by Gill Paul

Welcome to my stop on the blog tour for Another Woman's Husband by Gill Paul. I was very excited about this book from the moment I heard about it. Like many women my age, I grew up admiring Princess Diana—not only for her beauty and glamour but for the real impact she made on the world in her too-short life. As for Wallis Simpson, I'd heard of her of course. But it wasn't until watching The ...

Review and Giveaway: The Summer I Met Jack by Michelle Gable

June 9, 2018 by Ann Marie 6 Comments

Review and Giveaway: The Summer I Met Jack by Michelle Gable

When I first heard about this book, I was very excited because I had read Michelle Gable's I'll See you in Paris and already knew I liked her writing. Like many Americans, I've always been drawn to glamour and glitz as well as the drama and tragedy of the Kennedy family. I somehow had it in my head that this was going to be a very Kennedy-centric book detailing one of his many affairs. I was ...

Blog Tour: My Dear Hamilton by Stephanie Dray and Laura Kamoie

"In the secret seethings of my discontented heart, I've searched for a life that is my own. A life not consumed by the questions he left in his wake—riddles I will never solve about our marriage, our family, and the suffering to which he exposed us. I've searched for a meaning to my existence not swallowed up by Hamilton's shadow. By his genius. By his greatness. By his folly."  Welcome to my ...

Throwback Thursday: The Paris Wife by Paula McLain

Throwback Thursday is a weekly meme hosted by Renee at It’s Book Talk. Throwback Thursday is an awesome opportunity to share old favorites as well as older books in our TBR. I love this idea as I’m often distracted by all of the shiny, new books I see every day and don’t make it back to the ones that have been sitting on my shelves. My pick of the the week is: The Paris Wife by Paula ...

Review: The Girls in the Picture by Melanie Benjamin

Review: The Girls in the Picture by Melanie Benjamin

I really enjoyed The Swans of Fifth Avenue and started getting excited about The Girls in the Picture as soon as it was announced. In fact, it was the book I was most excited about receiving at Book Expo 2017. Melanie Benjamin was as much a delight in person, at her in-booth signing, as she is on her social media accounts. She even allowed me to blather on about her kitchen reno (it looks ...
