Recently finished book
The Paper Bracelet ~ by Rachael English, 2020, fiction (Ireland), 9/10 ~ "Religion had treated her like a criminal when in reality she'd been a victim" (p. 96).
Books I'm reading now
Color: A Natural History of the Palette ~ by Victoria Finlay, 2002, history, 468 pages (in the print edition) ~ I'm reading this one for the Big Book Summer Challenge, so I'll be reading it slowly chapter by chapter over the summer. Since it's nonfiction, I won't confuse it with the fiction I'll be reading.
The Little Dog in the Big Plague ~ by C. C. Alma, 2015, fiction (novella) ~ Since this novella is only 67 pages long, I'll probably finish it today.
Book up next
The Rebel Nun ~ by Marj Charlier, 2021, historical fiction (France)

I adore puns, and I hope you will keep them coming. You might like to cross-post these on Mareli's Wondrous Words Wednesdays, found every other week.
ReplyDeleteI would like to hear more about The Rebel Nun. Paris in July is coming up soon, and I am not sure yet what I'm reading. I am on the lookout for books set in France. I'll take a close look at your post about the book.
The Paper Bracelet looks like an interesting read from the quote you posted.
