what. a. JOY. 🤗

had the absolute best afternoon meeting Abby Jimenez and soooo many bookstagram friends in real life! I adore Abby’s books and hearing her story was so incredible. 💕

sometimes I think I’m an introvert because I love to read so much, and then I attend an event like this and feel so energized by the excitement of bookish friends and realize I’m definitely an extrovert. 🤩

thank you a million times over to my local library @olathelibrary for hosting this event to meet my favorite author of all time, and connect with so many fellow romance lovers! 👏🏼

Q: have you attended any author/bookish events??

It’s #nonfictionnovember and #middlegrademonday
And thanks to #middlegradegroupies
This is perfect for both categories.

If you like a good mystery a hearty cast of characters and anything Parisian and especially art, the Mona Lisa and how Picasso is even connected you will love this one.
Just wow.
The audiobook is mesmerizing and yes I read this almost in one setting.
So great.
Highly recommend.
Have you ever wondered why the Mona Lisa is so famous? Well someone stole it- and then it was recovered two years later. Such a fabulous journey she has had.
