Welcome to Litsy!

This was a quick read but it wasn't as thrilling as I wanted it to be. Very interesting story though

Finished this tonight. Initially I read it, then put it aside, then picked it up again, etc. As usual, I need to sit on the book before i review it here. I am glad I read it.

Reading this in Paris truly added the extra magic to the story! I went to Shakespeare and Company and couldn't imagine sleeping there. I saw Olympia and felt how one could be taken in by the need to know it all. I didn't seek the cuisine quite deliberately because...gross lol iykyk I'm eager to read the next one the author is writing right now!

#Bibliophile #LostInTitle one of my favorite books about the time period. She knew everyone who came through Paris at the time.Hemingway,Fitzgerald, Stein, James Joyce . She was the first to publish Ulysses.

From a bubble of privilege, she extolled idleness. I think one must be idle in order to become oneself, she wrote. 'If you have a profession you become part of that profession. With work you become a function. With idleness you become who you are.'

My May choice for #ReadOrDonate has been sitting on my shelves for years. It‘s time!

What will everyone else be reading?

slowly trucking along with the last two books for the #orilium April challenge. Oddly enough, the book about the history of Porcelain in Europe(The Arcanum) is the more interesting of the two.

I thought this was really clever. Cover was gorgeous. Had a lot of tidbits of life at that time. Meditation on "surviving" the Titanic is very interesting to me considering all the stories of "I could have been there" on 9/11
