#BonjourMadame

“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

#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.

LeahBergen Ah, Colette! ❤️❤️ 6y
TheAnitaAlvarez There‘s a really good biography of her 6y
Cinfhen Book looks very beloved 😁 6y
Kalalalatja I have wanted to read Colette for such a long time! 6y
Leftcoastzen @TheAnitaAlvarez I think I have it around here somewhere,need to read it. 6y

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 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

#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.

Dragon Hope your knee is better soon! 💐 6y
Kalalalatja Hope your knee starts behaving soon! 🤞💕 6y

Lizpixie @Cinfhen sleeping? What is this strange notion. I doze for an hour here or there, is that considered sleeping?🤔 6y
DivineDiana Hope you feel better soon! 6y
