The Little Paris Bookshop: A Novel | Nina George

“Books keep stupidity at bay. And vain hopes. And vain men. They undress you with love, strength and knowledge. It‘s love from within.”

Book begins with a conversation between Monsieur Perdu ( a bookseller and resident of a Parisian apartment and Madame Bernard ( the owner of the apartment building) and Madame Rosalette (the concierge). #septemberdanes #bonjourmadame

Cheri and the Last of Cheri | Colette

#BonjourMadame #SeptemberDanes I am very fond of the tagged book,I guess Gigi would be her most famous since it was turned into a play then a movie.I love this old collection of short stories I found , haven‘t read them all yet.She was nominated for the Nobel prize in Literature in 1948.And she was exquisitely French.

Golden city: roman | Anna Karina

I have not actually read the tagged book, but the author happens to be one of my favorite actresses of all time. Star of countless classics, "A Band of Outsiders," "Alphaville," "Pierrot le Fou" & "A Woman is a Woman." She was especially luminous when paired with Jean-Paul Belmondo, without question they rank high among greatest cinematic duos.

@Cinfhen @Kalalalatja

TobeyTheScavengerMonk For me, Alphaville was that first film where I was like Wait! Movies can be this?! It kicked off my love for weirdo cinema which lead me to Pierrot le Fou which is an all-timer for me. 6y

vivastory @TobeyTheScavengerMonk Pierrot le Fou has one of my favorite endings. Ever. Having already watched Man Bites Dog & Bertolucci's Partner before watching Godard, I was aware of the liberating effect of the weird & outrageous. But Breathless (my first Godard) made me fall in love with foreign film. 6y

Kalalalatja I have never heard of any of these films 😳😳 6y

youneverarrived She is brilliant! 😍 I went through a phase of watching Godard films when I was probably too young to really get them but I adore Anna Karina. 6y

The Bird Market of Paris: A Memoir | Nikki Moustaki

An unread memoir in my tbr stack... Nikki grew up in Miami with her Grandfather- an avid bird lover- as her mentor. Before his death he encouraged her to visit the bird market of Paris someday, and so she did. At a low point and suffering from alcoholism, Nikki's trip to Paris ended up saving her life. I partially bought this bc of the cover 😍 but hoping the story is charming as well!

The parent of an MC in my #currentread is French and cautions us not to view all French wisdom equally.
@Kalalalatja @Cinfhen

Kalalalatja Good pick! 6y

vivastory I read Sense of an Ending a couple of weeks ago. I thought it was a masterpiece. 6y

Billypar @vivastory When I picked this one up, I'd never even heard of Barnes, it was just on a whim. Then the thing happened where after I suddenly saw Sense of an Ending everywhere, so I'm really curious to try it! 6y

Murder in Montparnasse: Phryne Fisher's Murder Mysteries 12 | Kerry Greenwood

#SeptemberDanes #day13 #BonjourMadame I was going to post the French classic Les Liaisons Dangereuses for this prompt but realised I don‘t have a photo of my copy & as I‘m back on crutches(my knee died again🙄)getting to it is too hard.So I‘m going with my fave Phryne novel.Bert & Cec ask Phryne for help after their fellow soldiers are killed.Realising it all goes back to an unsolved murder in Paris after WWI,Phryne discovers she is also involved.
