Medici's Daughter is The Cat's Meow

Happy Friday! Usually, I'd be asking if you're as excited as I am that the week is over, but I can't even say that because it's been *such* a great week. It started with a review I'd been looking forwards to, that of Sophie Perinot's Medici's Daughter, then continued with a lovely Author Q&A with Sophie herself. Wednesday was really the best day of the week. For one thing, it was June 1, which made me happy by itself just for the sheer fact of meaning that May 2016 was finally over (terrible, horrible, no good, very bad month of nightmarish awfulness. I blame Mercury). And I am taking it as a good omen that June 1 was also the night of the long-awaited online party celebrating the 6-month anniversary of the release of Medici's Daughter.

Medici's Daughter Author Q&A with Sophie Perinot

Hello, and Happy Hump Day! Welcome back to Drink Read Love. Today, I'm being joined by Sophie Perinot, author of Medici's Daughter, which I reviewed yesterday. You can read it here if you haven't already. When I reached out to Sophie and asked if she'd be willing to do a Q&A, I was delighted when she said yes. Quite frankly, Author Q&As are my favorite part of this blog, and getting to chat with Sophie is no exception.

Anyways. Today is the big day: the online party celebrating the 6-month anniversary of the release of Medici's Daughter! I'm pre-gaming with a glass of ginger ale (gotta save my champagne for tonight, and I do have to drive and care for children today). Grab a drink and join me for a chat with Sophie.

Book Review: The Sister Queens by Sophie Perinot

“’Tis sisters who shape the world plain and simple.” –Sophie Perinot, The Sister Queens

Hello, and happy Monday! Today, I’m reviewing The Sister Queens by Sophie Perinot. I first discovered Sophie Perinot when Michelle Moran (another favorite historical fiction author, and the gateway to many of my new discoveries for HF authors) posted in December 2015 about Sophie Perinot’s new book Medici’s Daughter. I went and read Medici’s Daughter… and was so happy with it that when Amazon helpfully suggested The Sister Queens as being by the same author, I bought it. It took me a little while to get around to reading it because that was about the same time as life picked up with moving us into our new house, but I have finally read it and am ready to review. Woot!
