Today I’m pleased to bring you an excerpt from a new book in the Harlequin Trade Publishing Fall Historical Fiction blog tour. For fans of The Paris Wife, The Only Woman in the Room, and The Woman Before Wallis, The Chanel Sisters is a riveting historical novel narrated by Coco Chanel’s younger sister about their struggle to rise up from poverty and orphanhood and establish what will become the world’s most iconic fashion brand in Paris.
About the Book

Antoinette and Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel know they’re destined for something better. Abandoned by their family at a young age, they’ve grown up under the guidance of nuns preparing them for simple lives as the wives of tradesmen or shopkeepers. At night, their secret stash of romantic novels and magazine cutouts beneath the floorboards are all they have to keep their dreams of the future alive.

Oh my goodness but I love love LOVE this series!! Genevieve Cogman has done an absolutely brilliant job writing an omage to libraries and readers and lovers of language… The characters are marvelous, the ongoing developing story is a long-range marvel of intricate back and forths that are teased out from book to book. Additionally, each book has a delightfully new angle of its own that brings together character development and backstory revelations while still providing a new and entertaining mystery to be resolved.

admin posted this on December 25th, 2020 I’m taking the day off. It’s Christmas and a strange one this year for many reasons (both personal and global), but one thing remains the same: it’s a good time to say thank you and gather up those you love and remind them what they mean to you… So give someone (be it person or animal) you love a hug (be it real or virtual) and I’ll see you next week!

admin posted this on December 23rd, 2020  This was an entertaining, moving peek behind the curtain of clinical depression (“Clinny D”). I wasn’t familiar with Moe or THWoD podcasts/online presence, but love the idea. Bringing well-known celebrities and personalities into the conversation to talk frankly about their struggles and successes is a brilliant way to begin to demystify and de-stigmatize depression, and Moe’s meld of his own experiences with those of his interviewees was an engaging, entertaining, and heartfelt way to do this. There are truly laugh-out-loud moments (hard as that may be to imagine), followed by stories that will break your heart. The highs-and-lows of this presentation style mimic the highs and lows experienced by those living with clinical depression, and made for a very authentic read that resonated.
Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for my obligation-free review copy.
