sweet summer romance and coming of age
Lina makes a promise to her sick mother that she'll spend the summer before college in Rome, where she falls for the city, the people - and the "gelato".

ReplyDeleteI want to watch Love and Gelato! Enjoyed the book!
ReplyDeleteHappy to have found your blog via The Sunday Post!
Lots of happy things and some good books for you this week.
ReplyDeleteI used to cross-stitch when I was younger. Would love to get back to it if I ever find the time. The Paris Bookseller has been on my radar.
Hope you enjoy all your books. Thanks for sharing and for visiting my blog.
ooo I love trip planning. I go to a lot of detail with restaurants and gas stations and lodging and attractions. We don't have to follow the plan, but all the research gives us options.

Love the cross stitch place. I used to do a lot of it but my eyes don't cooperate these days. I'm strictly knitting (and listening to audiobooks!).
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!

The Paris Bookseller looks good. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteGelato in Rome sounds tempting.
ReplyDeleteAwwww! I want to go on a road trip.
ReplyDeleteRoad trips are great. That night time ferris wheel shot screams summer. Hope you're able to find the Jane Austen pattern you wanted.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!
The Ferris wheel is beautiful! Love and Gelato just made me crave gelato on this hot day. Enjoy your week!
ReplyDeleteI think cross stitching might be so relaxing. I like the sound of Bellasia and Elsewhere.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the rest of your week and Happy Reading!
