The Girl of Many Crowns by D.H. Morris [#BookReview #AuthorGuestPost #Histo..

The Girl of Many Crowns is a compelling historical narrative of Judith, the first princess of France, whose life becomes a symbol of resilience amid political turbulence. Set during the reign of King Charles, grandson of Charlemagne, the story unfolds against a backdrop of Viking raids, internal rebellions, and scheming monarchs. Judith’s father uses her as a pawn, marrying her at 12 to an aging king for strategic alliances. Widowed young and remarried by her father’s decree, Judith defies his authority when he demands a third marriage, resulting in her imprisonment.

Welcome to the first Friday Finds of the year (01-03-2025)—your weekly treasure trove of bookish delights, creative inspirations, and maybe even a little jello salad magic. 🥳

As we dive into 2025, I’m tackling my goal of staying organized (wish me luck!). Whether it’s scheduling book tours or avoiding the chaos of a forgotten planner entry, I’m determined to keep all my ducks—and book reviews—in a row.

This week’s Friday Finds is packed with must-read books, creative ideas, and a sprinkle of personal traditions to kick off the year. Are you curious about the books on my January TBR? Or maybe you’re ready to try my family’s quirky New Year recipe for luck (yes, it involves marshmallows and cabbage—trust me, it works!).

There’s an exciting announcement for Independent Authors, so scroll down to learn how to snag a feature on the blog.

Let’s step into 2025 with peace, love, happiness, and maybe a few good books! 💖

Crimes After Hours by Daniela Alibrandi (Rome’s #Multidimensional Cri..

If you love Sherlock Holmes’ brilliant deductions in A Study in Scarlet, the mind-bending twists of Digital Fortress, and the gritty vibe of A is for Alibi, you’re going to get hooked on Crimes After Hours. This thriller takes you into the shadowy depths of Rome’s Prati district, spinning a tale of murder, mystery, and suspense that’s impossible to put down. Like Digital Fortress, it’s a clever game of cat and mouse between a devious killer and investigator, Riccardo Rosco, who dives into the city’s hidden corners in search of the truth. With every twist and turn, Crimes After Hours keeps you on edge, pulling you deeper into its tangled web.
