New Orleans is one of my favorite places on the planet. I‘ve only been once (this year, in fact, for a surprise 40th bday trip) but I was in love with all things NOLA long before. In honor of Mardi Gras weekend, do you have any Louisiana-centric book suggestions for me? I‘d love to hear them. Laissez les bons temps rouler! 💜⚜️💛⚜️💚

k.reads.5 The only NOLA book I know of is Out of the East by Ruta Sepetys, but I actually haven't read it myself! 7y

TLVZ721 Thank you, @pl.2886 ! I‘ve never heard of that one but I‘ll certainly check it out! 😊 7y

Bookish.SAM New Orleans is the greatest!! I‘ve been 3 times. We do a trip down every other year for Jazz Fest. On my first trip down to get in the mood I read

A Confederacy of Dunces

BookwormAHN Ends in New Orleans as does a lot of Poppy Brite' s books.

The Feast of All Saints

TLVZ721 @Bookish.SAM , I would love to go to JazzFest one year! As a NOLA-lover, I think Confederacy of Dunces is required-reading! I‘ll definitely put it on my list. 7y

TLVZ721 @BookwormAHN , those are great suggestions! I checked out The Awakening once but never got a chance to read it. And I‘d never heard of Poppy Brite. Thanks! 7y

Does anybody subscribe to LitCube? If so, are you guys having a problem with them sending out your boxes?? 😒

LibrarianRyan Oh the stories I could tell about lit cube. None of them good. 7y

Literary_Siren I‘ve been subscribed to them for over a year and have never had an issue before this. It‘s really irritating. 7y

Sad news. 😭 We fell in love with this wonderful bookshop when we visited New Orleans last year. It's been open 50+ years. At least they had a good run.

Jess_Read_This This makes me sad; it looks like it was a wonderful place. 8y

britt_brooke @Jess_Read_This Its such a cool shop, located in an old pink and green house. I'm so happy I snagged a shirt and tote back while there. Their slogan is "Fight the Stupids." ? 8y

BookishFeminist Oh also! This isn't set in New Orleans proper but in the Gulf area post Hurricane Katrina, where Jesmyn Ward is from, and it's amazing.

Salvage the Bones

BookishFeminist Some more: Zeitoun by Dave Eggers (another Hurricane Katrina book). For some classics, The Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennendy O'Toole & The Awakening are set there.

The Awakening

LinaLovesLit @MyBookLife 👍 9y

LinaLovesLit @MKWoods Okay, thank you. 9y

LinaLovesLit @BookishFeminist Thanks, I'll have to check those out. 9y

Erinreadsthebooks Out of the Easy, and of course, A Streetcar Named Desire 😃 (I taught high school English for ten years) 9y

ThomasHewlett If you're in the mood for an offbeat and moody noir mystery

Claire DeWitt and the City of the Dead

LinaLovesLit @Erinstutts @ThomasHewlett Thanks, guys. Those sound great! 9y
