& no Paris trip is complete without a visit to Shakespeare and Company
These are the books I came out with:
- Sally on the Rocks reminded my of a Barbara Pym novel
- The Paris Trilogy was recommended to any lover of Annie Ernaux
- Virgina Wolf had prepared The Life of Violet for publication, so then I want to read this early work
- Paris in Winter is the #SundayBuddyRead for December next year
- & Braithwaite‘s highly anticipated 2nd novel

This is a light pick for me. I enjoyed it but didn‘t love it. I appreciated the early history of how bookstores developed in the U.S. and found the stories of well-known independent bookstores interesting. However, this is an incredibly broad topic, and hearing about a few specific bookstores I know or have visited just made me want to learn of more variety for my list.

Something happens near the end of this book that I think is highly unbelievable; however, I still liked this story of second chances. I loved the characters and the parrots. Night #audiowalk today.

I‘ve got about 2 hours left in this book. Troy is a hateful one. It was quite chilly this morning. I even had to wear a jacket! #audiowalk

Because of this book, I am also simultaneously reading Spoon River Anthology, which I apparently never read in school. I‘m enjoying it too and am reminded of Lincoln in the Bardo. #audiowalk

It was 43° when I left the house this morning; it eventually got up to 74°. Still liking this book. #audiowalk
