Why It Needs to Come Off the Shelf: I really loved another book by this author and I've had a review copy sitting on my shelf since 2015.
Hopefully you'll enjoy this as much as the other book by the author!
ReplyDeleteI liked this one too. Can't remember the first book I read by Montefiore but it made me a fan.
ReplyDeleteI am glad that I am not the only one that has been holding onto review books for that long :) It does sound like a very nice read.
ReplyDeleteI feel guilty about backlogs too. I just finished one which had been lying around for over a year. Just glad I read and reviewed it.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a very good one too.
I didn't like this book. It was one long boring conversation after another. I skim read most of it. 😜
ReplyDeleteSounds interesting. I haven't read Santa Montefiore but I have a couple of her older books I picked up at a book fair waiting to be read, not this one though.
