#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.
“The distance you put between places doesn't change the distance you have to travel inside. No passport, no plane ticket, no new city can fix what must be faced within. Growth isn't on a map — it's in the moments you finally meet yourself.”
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.

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
My sister‘s book club was reading this, so I loaned her my copy. Many years ago. In her defense, at one point she offered it back after the meeting, but I suggested she hold onto it until she finished it. I‘m pretty sure she doesn‘t even know where it is now. That‘s okay. I‘ve read it twice and definitely have no desire to read it a third time. 🤣🤣

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
pickThis catchy title caught my eye in a used bookstore. At first I thought it might refer to the AIDS era, post-70s, but it‘s a memoir about F. Scott Fitzgerald and his sad decline after the heyday of the Jazz Age. Tony Buttitta, a bookshop owner and writer befriended Fitzgerald in the summer of 1935, and this is his recollection. It‘s well-written and I‘d recommend it for anyone interested in Fitzgerald or Asheville history.
My grandmother‘s copy 💛
