May 2020 Book of the Month

I am sharing the books that I picked from Book of the month. I hope this will help you choose the books if you are a member. If not why not give them a try. Here is my link if you want to give them a try. https://www.mybotm.com/0cxpwrpoiqlivn29?show_box=true
Now onto the books.

 Your books will come in a box like this.

 They come in a bundle with plastic wrap to protect them during shipping. Last month they weren't plastic wrap.

 I was able to choose a book from a back month and this one came highly recommended by Reagan from Peruse Project. This book was from the September 2019 picks. This is what the inside cover says about the book.
England, 1879. Brilliant but destitute Annabella Archer is one of the first female students at Oxford University. Her scholarship demands that she recruit men of influence to champion the rising women's suffrage movement. Her target: the cold and calculating Duke of Montgomery, commander of Britain's politics.
But Montgomery wouldn't be the kingdom's greatest strategist if he couldn't turn the tables and confront Annabella with an altogether different offer...
Locked in a battle with rising passion and impossible attraction, Annabella will learn just what it takes to topple a duke.

 This is the book I picked from the choose they gave me for the month. I do have to say the choices this month weren't very good. This is what the inside cover has to say about the book.
Lizzie Kirsakis is working late when she gets a call. Grueling hours are standard at elite law firms like Young & Crane, but they'd be easier to swallow if Lizzie was there voluntarily. Until recently, she'd been happily underpaid federal prosecutor. With that job and her brilliant, devoted husband, Sam, she had everything she's ever wanted. And t, suddenly, it all fell apart.
No. That's a lie. It wasn't sudden, was it? Long ago the cracks in Lizzie's marriage had started to show. She was just good at averting her eyes.
The last thing Lizzie needs right now is a call from an inmate at Rikers asking for help-even if Zach Grayson is an old friend. But Zach is desperate: his wife. Amanda, has been found dead at the bottom of the stairs in their Brooklyn brownstone. And Zach's the primary suspect.
As Lizzie is drawn into the dark heart of idyllic Park Slope, she learns that Zach and Amanda weren't what they seemed-and that their friends, a close-knit group of fellow parents at the exclusive Brooklyn Country Day school, may be protecting troubling secrets of their own. In the end, she's left wondering not only whether her own marriage can be saved, but what it means to have a good marriage in the first place.

This book was a choice from last month and I grabbed it. Last month had a lot of good choices and since you can only choose three books I wasn't able to get this. I was really glad that it was still available for me to get. This is what the inside cover has to say about the book.
In the glittering Paris of 1927, Josephine Baker dances with Ernest Hemingway, Maurice Ravel plays a lonely piano, and Gertrude Stein hosts her legendary salons. Yet alongside these creative geniuses, a quartet of ordinary men and women are forging their own extraordinary stories.
Since the death of her beloved employer, housemaid Camille has lived  a secret: when Marcel Proust asked her to burn his notebooks, she saved one for herself. Now it has disappeared, and she is desperate to recover it before her betrayal is revealed. Across town, lovesick painter Guillaume is also racing against the clock, with only a few more hours to repay a debt that threatens to bury him alive. Souren, an Armenian refugee seeking connection in a city that has never felt like home, performs puppet shows for children. While Souren relentlessly relives his tragic past, journalist Jean-Paul is unable to confront his own, searching for his missing daughter in every stranger's face.
As the hours tick toward midnight, the City of Light pulls these four characters ever closer, until their paths collide in an unforgettable climax.

I hope you enjoyed the synopsis of the books. I hope you also give this book box a try.
