In The Chateau Cannot be Missed!

‘In the Chateau’ is an engrossing novel which highlights the minds of women. It’s just what we need in a time when a woman’s voice is increasingly likely to be dampened or silenced altogether. As Ms. Jones writes: “the contribution of the valiant women who came to the Americas during this same period have been ignored and…are missing from the pages of history.” Too seldom are women featured as clever and supportive of other women without diminishing their own value. Perhaps most refreshing is the generous scattering of references to other works by women about women, as well as stories of women throughout history that are often left forgotten, representing an uplifting spirit at its finest.

Marjorie Jones brings every scene to life with exquisite, sumptuous descriptions that set the scene from cuisine to décor. These details never feel laborious and instead seem necessary. It is effortless to imagine oneself as a spectator in the room and a tourist sampling the many wonders and hidden secrets of Québec, both past and present. The mystery is as engrossing as the ambiance, with our heroine naturally finding mystery and intrigue as naturally as breathing. The cultural landscape of Québec is woven into the fabric of the narrative, lending a heightened realism to the narrative that inevitably sweeps the reader away and inevitably draws them in at every turn. I cannot recommend ‘In the Chateau’ highly enough!

Simple valet tray that finally keeps my pockets from exploding on the nightstand
Color: Black, Size: Sectional, Color: Black, Size: Sectional
This valet tray is one of those small things that makes daily life a little easier. I like the sectional layout because it gives everything its own spot instead of just tossing a pile of keys and a wallet together. The phone slot is angled so you can actually see the screen when it is sitting there, which is a nice touch. The inside lining feels soft so it helps with scratches and it also cuts down that loud clanking sound when you drop keys in it. The non slip base matters more than I expected since it keeps the tray from sliding when you grab stuff in a hurry. Size wise it fits the normal everyday carry stuff without being huge. If you want your entryway or nightstand to look less messy, this does the job.

Thoughtfully Designed Tray
Color: Black, Size: Sectional
Such a simple item, but Spigen was very thoughtful in some of the subtle design feature. This is not just a box with dividers. Each compartment is actually sloped, which makes grabbing an item ergonomic, allowing you to just pull something to the edge instead of the often awkward battle against the walled edges of a traditional design. Yes, it's just a tray, but I appreciate its thoughtful design.

Keep your essentials all in one place
Color: Black, Size: Sectional, Color: Black, Size: Sectional
Picked this up to declutter my nightstand and it’s honestly been a solid little upgrade. The layout is super practical, there are 4 compartments and they’re actually sized well, not just random sections. I can fit my keys, wallet, watch, and random small stuff without everything piling on top of each other. The phone slot is a nice touch too. It’s angled just enough that I can glance at notifications or watch something while it charges. Didn’t even miss having a cable hole like I thought I would. Build quality feels better than expected. It’s lightweight but still sturdy, and the outside has a clean, modern look. The inside lining is soft, so when you toss your keys or watch in, it doesn’t make that annoying clatter or scratch things up. Also appreciate the non-slip bottom, it actually stays put when you grab stuff instead of sliding all over the place. Overall, simple but well thought out. If you’re tired of your everyday carry stuff being scattered everywhere, this does the job nicely. For the price point, this is a great value 👌 👏
