Clara Reads Proust | 
pickThis short novel was quiet, thoughtful, strange, and relaxing. It follows a young woman who is trying to find her place in the world and stumbles upon the works of Proust and they change her life. I really enjoyed it! #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks
pickWhat a beautiful little book. Charming, thoughtful, and so very, very French. Clara, a young hairdresser, falls in love with Proust, with words, and with the way a beautifully written book can transport you.
You do not have to have read Proust to fall in love with this novella (lord knows I haven't). Carlier manages to evoke a love for the text without ever judging those who haven't read it.

pickExcited that Clara Reads Proust made it into Anne Bogel‘s Summer Reading Guide! It‘s such a lovely book about the power of reading. A young woman who‘s feeling a bit stuck in her romantic relationship and her hairdressing career picks up Proust‘s first novel, Swann‘s Way, and it changes everything…
I love unexpected connections.
Just finished All Fours for #CampLitsy24 and the epigraph of my next read seems like it could be used for the July as well!
Completed my June #BookSpin and #DoubleSpin. Loved Clara, and tolerated The Writing Retreat. I had high hopes but it just fell flat for me. Better luck next month! #BookSpinBingo
pickAbsolutely charming- just what. Needed!
