5 out of 5 quills BOOK REVIEW This is an exceptional, sweeping saga about a group of women, all alumni of Smith College, who volunteer to go to Europe to assist the ravaged French villagers during World War I.

Old books exert a strange fascination for me -- their smell, their feel, their history; wondering who might have owned them, how they lived, what they felt. - Lauren Willig Follow @relatable_poems_quotes for more!!

Books From the Backlog #64

Books from the Backlog is a fun way to feature some of those neglected books sitting on your bookshelf. If you are anything like me, you might be surprised by some of the unread books hiding in your stacks. If you would like to join in, please feel free to enter your link and link back to this post, then spend some time visiting some of the other posts.

This week’s neglected book

Deciding that true romantic heroes are a thing of the past, Eloise Kelly, an intelligent American who always manages to wear her Jimmy Choo suede boots on the day it rains, leaves Harvard's Widener Library bound for England to finish her dissertation on the dashing pair of spies the Scarlet Pimpernel and the Purple Gentian. What she discovers is something the finest historians have missed: a secret history that begins with a letter dated 1803. Eloise has found the secret history of the Pink Carnation the most elusive spy of all time, the spy who single-handedly saved England from Napoleon's invasion. The Secret History of the Pink Carnation, a wildly imaginative and highly adventurous debut, opens with the story of a modern-day heroine but soon becomes a book within a book. Eloise Kelly settles in to read the secret history hoping to unmask the Pink Carnation's identity, but before she can make this discovery, she uncovers a passionate romance within the pages of the secret history that almost threw off the course of world events. How did the Pink Carnation save England? What became of the Scarlet Pimpernel and the Purple Gentian? And will Eloise Kelly find a hero of her own?

WHY DID I PICK THIS ONE?

I’ve had this book on my shelf forever- at least 10 years. I love historical mysteries and spy romances so I know I’ll love it. Maybe I need to make this my series challenge read next year...

Head over to the blog (ad) to read my thoughts on The Summer Country by Lauren Willig. It's a story about generations on Barbados. Family, love, lies, sugar cane, slavery, redemption. The tales are told in two time periods through the voices of two families. . A book that kept me enthralled. Now on tour with @tlcbooktours . . #asummercountry #laurenwillig #tlcbooktours #booksofinstagram #instabook #bookaddict #bookaholic #amreading #summerreading #bookblogger #bookstagram #barbados #familydrama #historicalfiction (at Manahawkin, New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/Byh_llLgIdE/?igshid=15w8g7ytsp51e

I reached the point where I had to read my “break glass in case of emergency” book - The Lure of the Moonflower by @laurenwillig, the final book in the Pink Carnation series. I was introduced to this series waaaay back in 2006 by my SIL @krisward06 (I was reading The Thirteenth Tale and she was reading Pink 1 and we kept sneaking looks at each other’s books 😂) and since then had happily devoured each book as it came out. My favorites are books 3 and 7 (Geoff/Letty and Turnip/Arabella forever 💖💖). But when book 12 came out, the final book, the actual Pink Carnation’s story, I couldn’t read it. I bought it on release day but could not make myself open it. It was the last book, and Lauren wasn’t committed to ever write anymore. So it sat and stared at me from the top of my Pink Carnation stack for five years. So I guess we can thank the coronavirus because last night I sat down in my reading chair, looked over at my Pink Carnation stack, and just picked it up. I read almost the whole thing straight through. It’s good and sweet and brings back a lot of familiar characters and lines up nicely with my James Bond rewatch (only less misogyny and more flowery French spies). And now it’s done. Guess I’ll go re-read Turnip’s book now. #books #reading #breakglass #romance #romancebooks (Aphra clearly has no cares about no more new Pink Carnation books. #cats #catstagram #catsofinstagram #murdermittens #aphrakitteh https://www.instagram.com/p/CALcTZ6gW64/?igshid=1kay5rg62nm87
