𝗣𝘂𝗯: 𝗠𝗮𝘆 𝟭𝟯, 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱

it’s Monday and I am kicking off the week with a new book!

Quite a few of my favorite books are from Christopher Moore, so I’m beyond excited to start his newest book 𝗔𝗻𝗶𝗺𝗮 𝗥𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴! His books are always guaranteed to have me laughing so hard that I am crying and I cannot wait to see what hilarity happens in this story!

𝗦𝘆𝗻𝗼𝗽𝘀𝗶𝘀: Vienna, 1911. Gustav Klimt, the most famous painter in the Austrian Empire, the darling of Viennese society, spots a woman’s nude body in the Danube canal. He knows he should summon a policeman, but he can’t resist stopping to make a sketch first. And as he draws, the woman coughs. She’s alive!

Back at his studio, Klimt and his model-turned-muse Wally tend to the formerly-drowned girl. She’s nearly feral and doesn’t remember who she is, or how she came to be floating in the canal. Klimt names her Judith, after one of his most famous paintings, and resolves to help her find her memory.

With a little help from Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung, Judith recalls being stranded in the arctic one hundred years ago, locked in a crate by a man named Victor Frankenstein, and visiting the Underworld.

So how did she get here? And why are so many people chasing her, including Geoff, the giant croissant-eating devil dog of the North?

AOTD: We have another beautiful warm and sunny day today so I really could’ve used another day at home just to soak it all up.
