The Coral Thief | Rebecca Stott

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.

Titanic Survivors Book Club | Timothy Schaffert

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

Shakespeare and Company | Sylvia Beach

Today involved a trip to Shakespeare and Co, as one must do when one is in Paris. I wrote a little in their Reading Room (a very little; someone else got to the convenient desk ahead of me) and bought some postcards since they don‘t allow photography.

TrishB I sneaked some photos whilst there! 1mo

Petite Mort, Or, A Little Death | Beatrice Hitchman

Last night on my way home from a ballet class with my favourite teacher, Georgia, I scored these at the Little Free Library closest to my place. The bottom and top ones are for my nephew. Hope the middle ones for me are good. Anyone read them?

Only 2.5 hours remain of our roadtrip; so glad I chose to bring this interesting and entertaining book along. #Mar2025 Book29 #classic

A Moveable Feast | Ernest Hemingway

Packing for a weekend trip to Colorado mountains ⛰️
Picked up this in hardcover from the library bookstore to read on the drive (IF I am not being “driver”) #classic #WiaN2025 category Wanderlust

BkClubCare (however I‘m wondering if I am confusing this with Steinbeck‘s travels with Charlie 😬🙄🫤) 1mo

BooksandCoffee4Me Love both books. This one is Hemingway sharing his years in Paris - stories of him and F Scott Fitzgerald, Gertrude Stein, and the literary bunch. Travels with Charlie is his road trip across the country with his dog and made me want to get a dog and drive to all the small towns I could find. 😄 1mo

BkClubCare @BooksandCoffee4Me Thank you 😊 I have had both on my tbr forever. Trying to hit a reading challenge category; this MIGHT still work. 1mo
