Siri Hustvedt and Paul Auster are sitting in the white tent on the right and talking about novels, literature, life and all the stuff. While listening to them, I'm looking out over the ocean and feeling very zen ??

Siri Hustvedt: "Novels are the places we can have experiences we wouldn't have had otherwise" - Preach!

Billypar They could publish a transcript of their dinner conversations for a month and I'd buy it 😆 7y
Kalalalatja @Billypar I would read the crap out of that! 😄 7y
Kalalalatja @TrishB @erzascarletbookgasm @Soubhiville @Lmstraubie it was great! Very interesting couple 👌 7y

Swing Time | Zadie Smith

Unfortunately, I didn't get in to see Zadie Smith talk, so I have to settle for seeing her on screen. She's still awesome, though! 👌

scripturient She is so amazing! I talked to her shortly last week and it was a bit intimidating. 😂 7y

I would never want to live in Copenhagen, but man! Their bookshops are to die for 😍

#bookwormontour

hlgreenfield I loved Copenhagen when I was there but I didn't have time to go to any bookshops! Feeling next time I'll go for a longer trip because those look amazing. 7y
TrishB I've been to Copenhagen I remember the books being really expensive!! 7y
Kalalalatja @hlgreenfield I love Copenhagen for all its possibilities, but it is just to big a city for me to live in. But next time you go, you just let me know, and then I can give you some bookshop tips - I found some great ones today with a good selection of English books 👍 7y

Kalalalatja @TrishB books in Denmark are crazy expensive! That's why I buy most of my books online even though I would rather support the bookshops. That, and often the English selection is rather limited in the bookshops close to where I live. A new hardback in Denmark (in Danish) normally cost between (dd-50 ?? 7y
TrishB I remember a paperback at the airport being £18. I don't blame you buying on line! 7y
Kalalalatja @TrishB It's completely crazy! Especially when I know what books cost in the UK or US. It just feels unfair! 😑 7y
ferskner Is there a reason they're marked up so much? I've never understood it. 7y
Kalalalatja @ferskner there probably is, but I don't know why. 7y
TrishB It is very unfair!! 7y
scripturient 😍😍😍 7y

I don't even know what I'm more excited about - my breakfast or starting this beautiful book 😍😍

#louisianalit #bookwormontour

JazzFeathers Good reasons to be excited about both 😆 7y
erzascarletbookgasm I'm excited just looking at this photo. The book cover is a beauty and your meal looks appetising. That heart shaped waffles? 😋 7y

nabilareads The waffles look amazing and the book is gorgeous! 7y
Simona Your breakfast is winner for me, because right now - I'm really hungry 😋 7y
Elisa Wow, that's cover 😍 7y
julesG Both! 😍😍😍 Wish I could come over for some waffles. 7y
TK421 Those are the most beautiful waffles that I have ever seen. I need more waffles in my life. 7y
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Wow!!! That looks yummy 😋 7y
CoverToCoverGirl Lovely way to start a Saturday! 😁 7y
Suet624 That's looks beautiful AND delicious. 7y
Kalalalatja @JazzFeathers I agree! ?? @erzascarletbookgasm it is! I always thought all waffles had this shape until I got waffles while travelling. Apparantly, this is not the normal waffle "look" ? @Marchpane the food definitely was! Now I just need to read the book to see if it is too ? @nabilareads they were soooo good ?? @Simona my main focus was on the breakfast as well. I didn't want to get nutella all over my book ? 7y
Kalalalatja @Elisa I love it! 😍 @julesG I wish you could have some! They were awesome! 👌 @TK421 don't we all! I'm seriously considering buying a waffle maker after eating these waffles 👌 @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks it really was! 😋 @CoverToCoverGirl and when it is followed by book shopping it is an even better Saturday! 😄 @Suet624 it was just as good as it looked 😍😋 7y
BarbaraBB I absolutely loved that book. Mine didn't have that beautiful cover...! 7y
Kalalalatja @BarbaraBB It's the Danish edition, and it's completely gorgeous 😍 7y
Lmstraubie Yum! 7y
elkeOriginal That is a ridiculously beautiful cover. And waffle!! 7y
Kalalalatja @elkeo one of the few times, where I chose the Danish translation over the English original. All because of that cover 😍 and Jenny Offill said it was beautiful too 😄 7y
Cinfhen That breakfast 😍 7y
Kalalalatja @Cinfhen it might have been the best I've ever had 😍😍 7y

I found out some things about Colson Whitehead during his talk today:

1. He's an e-reader kind of man (when travelling)
2. He doesn't really like people all that much
3. He's funny!

#louisianalit #bookwormontour

DrSabrinaMoldenReads Haha...I say that I don't like people either. 7y
Kalalalatja @Joyfulmimi haha me too, sometimes 😄 7y

Kalalalatja @Joyfulmimi I do too, most of the time. I kinda have to with the job I'm planning on getting (psychologist) 😄 7y
DrSabrinaMoldenReads I have been a psychologist for over 30 years 😘 @Kalalalatja (edited) 7y
Kalalalatja @Joyfulmimi oh I didn't know that, but how awesome! 👏 7y
DrSabrinaMoldenReads Thanks! Time to retire though. ☺️ 7y
scripturient I met him in Edinburgh on Monday. Such a nice man. :) 7y
Kalalalatja @scripturient he seems like the kind of man you would want to drink coffee with and just hear him talk 👍 7y
scripturient True. :) Where was this, btw? I saw that Zadie Smith and Paul Auster were there as well. It's almost like a traveling circus, considering they were all in Scotland last week. I knew that popstars did that but writers... 😂 7y
Kalalalatja @scripturient lit was at the Louisiana Museum of Art, just north of Copenhagen. And apparantly, that's what writers do! Some of them talked about how they are travelling all over at the moment 😄 7y

Imbolo Mbue was great! Apparantly, she started to write after reading Toni Morrisson's Song of Solomon, and she had never planned to be a writer 📚

#louisianalit #bookwormontour

DeborahSmall Fantastic. Where is it being held? X 7y
Kalalalatja @DeborahSmall in a Danish museum called Louisiana. They are having a literature festival this weekend, and so far it has been great! 👏 7y
DeborahSmall I thought you were in the US! Have a great weekend 💕 7y
