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! 3d

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?

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 driver (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 😬🙄🫤) 2w

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. 😄 2w

BkClubCare @BooksandCoffee4Me Thank you 😊 I have had both on my tbr forever. Trying to hit a reading challenge category; this MIGHT still work. 2w

sarahbarnes I‘ve just recently added Gallant to my list! 1mo

merelybookish @sarahbarnes I've never read her and it seems like I should have by now! 1mo

sarahbarnes Same! 1mo

JuniperWilde Absolutely! 🇨🇦✊🏻🇨🇦 1mo

JuniperWilde It‘s amazing tho. I went to the bookstore last week and by my guess 90% of the books are by US authors. That‘s got to change. 1mo

JuniperWilde I‘m all for great books by authors from anywhere. And let‘s have more Cdn writers on our bookshelves. Do you have a too five Cdn books you‘ve read recently? 1mo

merelybookish @JuniperWilde I don't read that much Canadian and I'd like to change that. The last CDN book I read was Held by Anne Michaels which I didn't like. But I'd recommend the tagged book. Also recommend following @lindy if you don't already as she reads and reviews a lot of Canlit

Hair for Men: A Novel

1mo

Lindy @JuniperWilde @merelybookish Gallant‘s Paris Stories are fab. I see Nancy Huston and Tanya Tagaq on Margot‘s stack too. 👍 Here‘s a few more Canadian authors I enjoy: Helen Humphreys, Emma Donoghue, Marian Toews, Vivek Shraya, Kim Thuy and Leanne Betasamosake Simpson. 1mo

merelybookish @Lindy Thanks! Some new ones to add to my list. 1mo

Scaffolding: A Novel | Lauren Elkin

pick

I loved this book. Section 1 is about Anna and David and their new neighbor. Section 2 is about Florence and Henry who lived in the very same apartment 50 years earlier. And section 3 returns to the original characters. I felt immersed in the world of the Paris neighborhood that they live in, the building, the constant of the scaffolding as the building is refaced, their relationships and loves. Read the rest in the comments below! ⬇️

Lesliereadsalot So much that when Anna is walking through the streets near the end of the book, and she is listening to Night in the City by Joni Mitchell, I myself felt compelled to play this song alongside of her. And believe me, that has NEVER happened to me! 2mo

Lesliereadsalot @sarahbarnes Thanks for recommending! 2mo

BarbaraBB Yes! I enjoyed this one a lot too! 2mo
