Sadly when the lockdowns started, I thought I was going to have time to read all the books I have in my flat, but the opposite happened and I hadn’t read anything.
Last time I was in NYC we did a Gilded Age walking tour and the guide said he thought the next season would center around how the wealthy New Yorkers wanted to marry their daughters to European aristocracy. He recommended the book The Million Dollar Duchesses: How America’s Heiresses Seduced the Aristocracy, which I just finished. It's an interesting, gossipy read and has many familiar family names.
Have you watched Million Dollar American Princesses on the Smithsonian Channel? It's two seasons and talks about all of that, as well as, the movie stars like Grace Kelly who married royalty. It's pretty interesting and some of those women were sassy.
Currently reading Animorphs. I was a huge fan of the series in grade-school and it was my introduction into sci-fi. Anyone else read this series?
