My words are taken from: America's First Daughter by Stephanie Dray & Laura Kamoie
Fripperies- are tawdry or frivolous things. Showy.
Ennui-a feeling of weariness and dissatisfaction: boredom.

I received one new book in my mailbox: The Weekenders by Mary Kay Andrews
On idyllic Belle, North Carolina, some people stay all summer long and others come just on the weekends. But some things are constant: coctail parties, cool breezes and gossip.

The Taxidermist's Daughter by Kate Mosse
The Taxidermist's Daughter by Kate Mosse
This is a Gothic thriller set in a churchyard in Sussex in 1912. I found that it took a little time before it really piqued my interest. Keeping the characters straight and what they were up to took a little time. But all in all the macabre ending made up for it. If you like thrillers you will probably be interested in this one.
