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.

Lunch break with a fun book

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 :)

I was about to start reading it in French when I saw that it was 0.99$ on amazon in Original Version .... I do prefer non translated versions if possible.

Messy house as usual, good book so far

When you love languages and you read a book by a linguist, you start to need 3 different highlighting colours for different informations... I can see myself becoming even more of a geek ;)

Another day, another book, you have to love quiet holidays for that ;)

A very strong heat wave over France right now, the perfect excuse to juste read a book per day and swim.

Reading an author from Auvergne while staying in Auvergne :)

I don't usually read the Goncourt nominées, but that was a présent 2 years ago. Giving it a shot and i have an easier book waiting after that.

River side reading after painting the old mill that will be our hotel for 2 days

Hotel room reading. I can cross this book on my last trip and took it on this 2 days visit but I am not convinced... I will give it until I am back home and if still not convinced, forget about it.

Once again would radher read than work...

Ran 10 kms this morning (yes I do that for fun ;) ),so now late breakfast and new book. :)

So between work and a new Gail Carriger book, who do we think will win ?

For once i have seen the movie before reading the book, let's see how I like it...

If you like your space adventures to be about people and food and friendship and found families... you could try the adventures of Ishmael Wong, starting with Quarter share. This one is the beginning of his next adventures, 3 books planned and written.

Making a dent in this one, lucky for me this is a 3 days weekend, avoided the bastille day fire works yesterday and just the right temps for hammock reading

I am starting to get my bearings again in that world, but work will get in the way of reading...

So i am pretty sure i read this (says my books google sheet) but i can‘t remember it. And it‘s short enough before starting one of this summer big books...

A book recommanded by my singing coach as i might have a little problem finding the right tune.
It's an autobiography/research history. A bit dated but interesting.

After finishing Babel, i needed something light, so meeting again the hundred year old man and his adventures.
Drawing from my journals, paper books are better drawing subjects than e books ;)

My library has a summer borrowing plan when you can get 15 documents out for 5 weeks... Most of the ones i was looking for were already out ;)

Because when traveling it's more fun with cute bookstores. (Don't know how to tag a bookstore,but that's the Munich readery).

I just did this over the weekend, introducing friends to each other with their languages, that's fun and necessary in an expat community.

Going on a trip, virtually to Oxford, physically to Munich

Sorry for the weird contrast.
It‘s à mixed reading experience for me : the writing is dated, full of religious references and sexist. But on the other hand, I find myself highlighting a lot of quotes... and adding snark notes to the sexist bits ;)

Blaming it on listy and reading about coffee all morning, this is me a serious tea drinker having a latte, and a strawberry roll is coming :)

This is how the beginning of my weekend looks like :)

New Gail Carriger book starting a new series. found family, food and of course hot drinks

I usually like Reynolds books but this one felt a bit too obvious, the loops (that were spoiled by the back cover blurb) and even the twist were all kind of seen before and the characters were a bit one dimensional. The end is nice though.

A nice hotel room with a méridienne, a kettle and quiet to read my book..I could stay here for a long time

Not much reading time this weekend but that should be good.

When you are reading a big book (fairy tale by S.King) but there is less than 100p to the end and you are taking a train journey,the only solution is to start another book... #bookishproblem

Travelling next weekend, hoping to have finished the door stopper before Friday,as I don't want to carry it in the trains ;)

I really loved seeing Jo Walton talk in a bookshop last year.
Trying to read her now but my library did not have the original version.

The only trouble with reading a paper book ? Not being able to read in the movie theater before the start of the film as the lights are too low,so catching up over late diner.

Just renewed my library card, I am not using it often but they even have a decent original version selection ;) just no jo Walton in English...
