As far away from Paris I could possibly be! From the wilds of Alaska, to the start of this book: NYC to Paris 🌟
Reading this because a friend JUST rec‘d it and Libby had it available. So far, extremely readable for a plane ✈️ ride home.
When in Paris you‘ve got to go ❤️???❤️ iconic tote bags are (d0 my husband thought I was mad but still got one anyway ??❤️??
pickAnd here it is 🥰🥰the most famous bookshop in Paris next to the beautiful notre dame where we were lucky enough to catch the beautiful midday mass yesterday and the ringing of the bells 🔔 it‘s iconic , nazis closed it in 1941 and as all facists do the banning and burning of books 📚 reopened in 1951 and today it‘s run by the daughter of the man he re opened it after ww2 and championed literacy and supporters writers ✍️ in Paris 🇫🇷❤️

pickA beautiful read in anticipation of our upcoming trip to Paris. Easy to read little snapshots of Paris in the 1920‘s. From lunches with Gertrude Stein to dinners at little bistros along the Seine, it‘s an easy read for anyone who loves Hemingway or the city of Paris.
pickWhen @Robotswithpersonality posted their review of this manga I went searching in my kindle since I had a vague memory of purchasing this. Lo and behold there it was in my library. I enjoyed this one and the art. I now wish I had sprung for the physical copy so I could have given the art the admiration is deserves.
This was my first time in #Paris since I was 11 years old and I really fell in love with love with the city, something I didn‘t expect. This are all the purchases from the famous Shakespeare & Company bookstores, close to Notre Dame (plus a cute Jellycat croissant 🥐). I had to get the iconic tote bag of course! The Paris Trilogy is pretty moving and it‘s signed & stamped as well!
pickSo much fun! This twist on the Bourne Identity takes an identical twin, whose sister is a spy, and gives her amnesia. It was a tad long for what it was, and the “bad guys found us, we need to escape” loop became repetitive. But it‘s definitely entertaining. I‘m curious if anyone has read the sequel and if it‘s worth picking up. If you haven‘t read the author‘s. “Most Wonderful Crime of the Year”, it should be a must for this holiday season.
