Recommended by at least 2 friends. I am already overreacting to all the sexism at work (who has work in engineering and still been "mistaken" for the secretary will see why). I need to brace myself for the rest ;)
Weekend at my dad's, nothing much to do except be with other humans and read
1st of november I am reading outside wearing a spaghetti top... Life is nice :)
So, again, the french edition is two books for the 4th in the series... But the cover is gorgeous :)
Very grey day here, so i ll be in my reading nook with an epic book
A book about a library, with a black cat on the cover, of course I had to get it, and I am enjoying the different character per chapter all connected by the same librarian.
Finally got it from the library, it has been in high demand :) really enjoying reading about the gang again.
It s been in my list forever, and i have not been reading enough scifi lately so here goes
Now for something différent, a book gifted by a friends. This is their favourite author and i never read anything by that author... Let's see.
When all the characters are book lovers, you can only relate :)
Finish the series, à bit slow at times: i wanted to push characters around
Another Lady Agatha short story collection, but this one seems a little different, probably because there is not a lot of murders and mystery solving, more some strange situations.
Getting back to lupin for a bit
so-soI like the premise of a weird family accident prone just for a month per year, and the characters are likeable but the explanations are too déjà vus for me
Book 3 of the mallaussene saga (of 8), rereading to have everything in mind for the latest 2.
Also a nice change of pace after a dry non fiction book
Let s the 10 days of reading by the river begin :)
Not as much reading done as usual... Too much Olympics to watch ;)
Anyway, a short stories anthology before the vacations.
A friend lend us that book because we came back from Ireland and were talking about Connemara.
I am all for that, except... the book is nowhere near talking about Ireland.
The "connemara" of the title is a very Cheesy song from the 80s that is now stuck in my head... and the story is about people who grew up at the same time as i did, with jobs similar to what i do... not good for escapism !
Picture from my actual visit to connemara ;)
Yes it s july 6th and I am under a blanket, but it is raining and I am peopled-out but need to get out again for dinner with friends so ... A little quiet time (and the piano player in the back is using headphones)
Today s lunch : a run to the post office, slight hypoglycemia so i stopped on my way back for food, luckily i always carry my book for company
After 15 days in Ireland, i 'd call that a small book haul... Mostly restricted because we fly Ryanair...
Would you believe the day started with rain and fog ?
Enjoying the fair weather now and the kettle in every hotel room in Ireland
Tea and cake and book in dingle after driving a fair bit. Beautiful roads in Ireland not a lot of reading ;)
this one had been in my TBR for ages, even taken out of the list, thinking I would get to it another time. But we watched the Netflix series recently and now I want to know if book Ripley is more like the Damon movie, the NFseries or the American Friend movie...anyway hoping to read most of it on a 2h flight.
When you die, what you lose first, it‘s life. Next it‘s illusions.
Finished the tagged book during a tea break this morning, now another book for my sunny lunch break :)
Preping for a trip to Ireland with that beautiful book.
Does it surprise anyone that not all the hotels are booked but my "for that trip to read Irish books" list is ready ?
Reading Hermione Granger fanfic in the hammock, not a bad way to end the day
It's cold and rainy outside, perfect excuse to start another book
Getting out that book I have since 1999... I can speak german, but I know my grammar is weak, and practising with Duolingo is not enough, I really need to learn the gender and cases, to speak correctly!
Discovered another of the librairies in my town yesterday, went for an exhibition and came back with 2 books. I can not remember who told me about this author but she is french and writing thrillers, so i had to try for myself. So good so far
Second tea and first breakfast, lazy sunday morning to finish the vacation. #bookandtea
That one was written by a friend of my dad... not sure yet about the story or the style but it is taking place in a city I like, by the sea :)
Book break from a touristy day in porto. We are more interested in our books than the port wine.
so-soOK, so it is counted as an Arsène Lupin book but he only appears for half a page in a discussion... As for the rest of the book, it's more a war/revenge/mystery story than what I was expecting, and a lot of WWI stuff so Germans are all bad and French all good... Too propagand-ish for me.
OK so the library card is renewed... But I ended up with 2 new books on my TBR...
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
