I‘ve spent 5 days in Paris and came back last Thursday.

A visit to Shakespeare and Company feels almost mandatory as a reader and book lover, but I also love that store.

These are the books I bought.

I also bought this new tote bag with the very fitting quote

I need your opinion! What would you do: I have a honeymoon ahead in august. We‘ll have a long distance journey there (~20h) and back (~28h) plus two shorter journeys (~4h) between locations. First week will be lots of sightseeing, second week will be spent mainly at the beach (lots of reading time). Would you take many short(er) books to get a dent in your TBR (and how many??) or one chunkster (I‘m thinking Ulysses) plus maybe two lighter reads?

LeahBergen I would definitely go for more beach reads! I‘ve taken big fat classics on holiday before (and I DO love them) but never seem as eager to dive into them. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 4mo
yourfavouritemixtape I think you should bring other books to take your head off Ulysses for a bit every now and then. I don‘t think I could have read it with no other books in between. :) 4mo
ju.ca.no @LeahBergen @yourfavouritemixtape thanks for the tips🤗 you‘re probably right and I should tackle lighter reads! 4mo
kspenmoll On a honeymoon I would definitely take easy reads! 4mo

My dear friend recently went to Ireland and Salem, MA, and she thoughtfully brought me a few keepsakes from those regions. Of course, they were book-related! 🥰 I love having friends who know me so well!

Leftcoastzen Nice! 4mo
Ruthiella How neat! 😃 (edited) 4mo

Working on a Saturday isn't great, but there are definitely great moments! I am wearing my Ulysses shirt today and have already had three conversations with patrons about the book! Did I read it? Is it good? Is it really THAT challenging? (Yes, twice! Yes, very good! ABSOLUTELY YES! 🤭)

Having fun conversations about books with strangers is definitely one of my favorite things about being a librarian! 💕📚

Leftcoastzen Great conversation starter! Loves me some Jimmy Joyce ! Hope you had a happy Bloomsday! 4mo
CindyMyLifeIsLit I read it once, did NOT love it, and have been trying to gird my loins for another run at it. I‘ve heard that audio is the way to go, so will probably add that to the mix next time (along with the three additional books that explain all the allusions and other literary shenanigans going on!). I also love your necklace!! 🎈 4mo
AnnCrystal 📚😎👍💝. 4mo
Branwen @Leftcoastzen Yay! You too, my friend! 🥰 @AnnCrystal 💕📚💕 @CindyMyLifeIsLit Thank you so much! It's my new favorite necklace! 😀 Ooooh I've never listened to Ulysses before! I bet that's going to be such an incredible experience! 🥰 4mo

#SundayFunday Think this is the most of one title I own. The manga on top kinda counts!😁The interesting thing about the leather bound, that is a 7th printing of the Shakespeare & Company 1st edition. It was declared obscene. For Americans trying to bring in back into the states it was suggested they have them bound in Paris as the customs inspectors didn‘t remember the title or author, they were told to look for the distinctive blue paper cover.

BookmarkTavern Manga totally counts! What a great stack! Thanks for posting! 6mo

author is a high school teacher of English-the bio endearingly records that he coaches soccer too-which means he's able to pitch this complex novel to the general reader. More guides to difficult novels should be written by high school teachers! Thoroughly useful and a welcome addition to the Joyce bookshelf for those of us who have struggled with Joyce's dense prose
