Looking for a quiet and sunny place to read before the library opens and i can't return one of my doorstopper read of the week
Checked into an hôtel yesterday, nice breakfast and now i sort of do not want to move from the nice lourging chair.
I was struggling with Count Robert of Paris (100p in and still no signe of Robert) and a book discussed with a friend became available at the library... I was expecting 170p of non fiction... Not 661p !
Sunday post run breakfast. I am normally not a Poirot fan but this one is nice so far.
Went for a walk in town, ended up in a tea room but that‘s after visiting the english bookshop... book haul !
Went to a steampunk conférence in one of the town's librairies tonight. It was fun, a little wrong at times and not enough diverse examples to my taste but we got to see some very cool books and engravings. I ended up borrowing the tagged book...
Read this a long time ago when it was a big success in France, I don t really remember it. Rereading and if I like it I already books 2 and 3
I needed somthing light, partner recommended this, I am not sure I can trust that advice, but it s only a novella, so it should not last long...
Tonight's plans : comfy rebdpng while listenning to a vinyle
An afternoon in warm baths, jacuzzi and hammam... I am feeling very lazy, so a new book might help
Breakfast outside, enjoying the warmer weather. The book started almost Austen like but soon turned darker. 20 p left and I am not sure if it will ended up positively or not.
"was there even a point to the creation of books and art when humanity lived on the precipice of extinction ?"... well aren't we always on the verge of extinction anyway ?
So apparently on March 12, we are supposed to read 15 minutes... for the national reading day... how will i only read 15 minutes ? 😀 😃 🙂
Getting ready for an interesting read and half expecting really dark things to happen
Pitt is now managing the police department and clearly not enjoying that...let s hope he still find time to figure out who did it.
My last read was a little too heavy, so back to Lupin i go :)
Cuter book cover than the one on my epub. I wonder if they redid new editions with the netflix visuals ?
The library Lego set contains a Mini Me : glasses, dark short hair and a cup of tea... So we are reading together now ;)
Work day did finish with too many things not working out so i' m settling in the sofa with a blanket and a book...
Cracking up the first book offered by the only person daring to gift me books on my birthday ;)
"She never asked for anything back. And the problem, when you don‘t ask for anything, is sometimes that‘s what you get."
Ré reading the witches books and I'm surprised I did not highlight more quotes before :)
As my partner was saying : this is the third book in a row about families and non-genre... I will probably go back to science fiction or fantasy very soon !
Not finding the title in french in the database... But my blanket matches the book cover ;)
The local urban sketchers group was meeting at the library today, so i went tried and mostly failed to represent what I saw, but I came back with 3 books, 2 on my list and 1 to try my hand at haiku's again.
I should be getting ready for a work meeting but i d rather spend my afternoon reading ;)
Not exactly the tagged book, the french edition contains all of her stories, so for once I am not reading in the original version.
I discovered Hendrix with the vampire bookclub and a friend was reading this one at the same time... I am really liking the references to all the horror movies :)
First book of 2024... 170p still mostly depressing, i am counting on the author to switch that, at least in the book !
Birthday présent from my partner and the lego bookstore. :)
Finished a book today, now trying to be strategic : can I finish this one before Sunday and add one to my yearly count ?
I loved the Great coats so i had to try this one.
Train ride and two books, the paper one got a new title when out in paperback, life story and menopause, with a fun and informative author and the ereader is for a wizard abroad by Diane duane.
I'm trying a Grady Hendrix book for the first time, and expecting to like it just on the subject...and a good friend is also reading one of those books :) great minds...
No book cover so i juste draw a lighthouse in my journal. A re-read from Virginia Woolf
Next up. I am very curious about that one, the blurb is interesting but i have no clue on the style or anything.
Lazy saturday morning and starting the sort of autobiography of a very popular french author. I know the Ants serie was translated.
This is the reason why my book has not moved for 2 days... I can't read because of the headaches :(
"Our whole assessment of the world can be transformed according to how much water we have drunk or sleep we have had."
And let's not even mention how I turn into somebody else if I have not eaten enough lately ;)
I have loved reading the Ants books as a teenager and some others as an adult (a friend of mine is a character in one of Werber's books), but for this one, I find the 2 main characters lack of empathy makes them hard to root for, plus revisitng recent history since the 70s feels like a lot of info dumping to someone who lived through most of it...
I was planning on reading the French epub but the library had the original version paper book.
When the blanket gets out, you know that fall reading has begun.
I like the rivers of London series, so much so that I had to check several times while reading the first chapter as it felt like I had already read this one. According to my logs, I did not but the Silver vaults of London felt familiar.... I wonder in which book I read about them ? Any idea ?
"One can not read one's life, one can only live it..."
After reading two light hearted books by favourite authors, i am reading a book by an author i do not know and a story that, from the blurb, could go in any direction.
Another serie by a favourite author, and nice characters, i ll probably ended up wanting food as one character is always cooking...
If you need something cosy, in space, if you have read Ishmael Wong story so far, the new série will be perfect for you.
And i finished Hard Knocks so can garanty a nice ending ;)
Train ride to the weekend adventures but I might enjoy that book too much and finish it in one go.
Always loving a plot with a bookworm and a library :)
