I was up extremely early…. I even beat Coffee Cup today... the automatic brew didn’t kick in until an hour after I was awake. So caffeine free this morning (How unusual!) I found a great read at Virginie Says called The Sidewalk Artist by Gina Buonaguro and Janice Kirk.
I quote Virginie,
I think, at one time or another, every girl has wished they could be in Tulia Rose’s shoes and travel to Paris and Italy alone, meet a handsome artist and fall in love (and if the truth be told, I fell in love with Raffaello, too).
This blog site gives a sense of peace to it. it was a great place to wonder into early this morning…. Take a moment and stop on over to Virginie Says and see this beautiful book and review.
Have a wonderful day! If you were not here yesterday, be sure to see yesterday’s Morning Meaderings as I posted a wonderful giveaway and a few great reads as well!
Book Journey 
Thanks for your kind words about my review. Sometimes it’s hard to put into words how a book really makes me feel, so I abstain from reviews quite often. This book was so wonderful, I had to attempt it, though! 🙂
Glad to see you on Twitter, and I’m now a follower. (FleurDeMar)
I went to Virginie Says and I think The Sidewalk Artist sounds like a wonderful book. I put it on my list and plan to buy it soon! I also read up on The Girls from Ames. It sounds just like the kind of book I really enjoying reading. I was surprised by the author too and really am looking forward to seeing hoe he handles the subject matter.
thank you for the great recommendations. I promise to have my review of After You up in the next 2 days. I’m still adjusting to having the blog and learning to juggle things well!
Bye for now =o)
