My #bookhaul and fantastic tote bag from Faulkner House Books in New Orleans. The books are from a poetry collection from Everyman‘s Pocket series and I just couldn‘t resist!

New Orleans Bookstore stop #2! Charmingly tiny store in a space where Faulkner wrote his last book. With a great collection of books, I will definitely stop here again!

LeahBergen Sigh. I‘m so jealous! 3y

charl08 Ooh. Maybe I'll get there one day. 3y

Ncostell So pretty! 3y

LeeRHarry Lovely bookshop - the lovely owner gave me her arc copy of Pachinko as she didn‘t have it in stock when I went there in 2017 😊 3y

First day of vacay! We are taking a short cruise on Thursday from the Port of New Orleans. So, we decided to show up early. Of course, we just happened to stop at the iconic (and pretty tiny) Faulkner House Books. #bookvoyage

KathyWheeler Love New Orleans. 5y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @KathyWheeler We are enjoying it. But it‘s pouring rain!!!! 😰 ☔️ 5y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @TheBookStacker I haven‘t been here in 30 years. I‘m excited for the great fooood!! 5y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @Mollyanna Thank you! 5y

TheBookStacker If you have time I recommend Jacques-Imos and their alligator cheesecake! My fave place! 5y

Crazeedi Enjoy your vacation, and have a glorious time!! 5y

LeahBergen Lucky you! Enjoy your holiday! 5y

KathyWheeler @BarbaraTheBibliophage Yeah — it does that a lot this time of year all along the Gulf. 5y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @TheBookStacker What a unique menu item! Not sure if we‘ll get there, but we are having delish food. 5y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @Crazeedi @LeahBergen Thanks—we are! 5y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @KathyWheeler Today it was torrential at times. But we made the best of it and did some indoor things! 5y

KathyWheeler @BarbaraTheBibliophage I thought about you today because we had torrential rains in Mobile, and I was wondering if you did too. Glad you had fun anyway.😊 5y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @jillrhudy I was here too—but didn‘t buy any books! It‘s cool that you did. 👊🏻📚 5y

jillrhudy @BarbaraTheBibliophage they had a pile of Collector‘s Wodehouse that I should have bought! One never has enough money or luggage space! Or knows where the PO is. 5y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @jillrhudy True story. I usually limit myself to one book. But at Shakespeare and Company in Paris last year I got three tote bags and two books. Went crazy!! 5y

jillrhudy That‘s me in @strandbookstore and I got the enormous army green tote which I now carry every day, everywhere. I nearly broke my back walking 8 miles in NYC because I didn‘t know which book I would want on the plane. 5y

jillrhudy God help me if I ever end up in Shakespeare & Co 5y

BarbaraTheBibliophage Haha. Yes, God help me at Strand. I live within a train trip from there. But I‘ve never been. I‘d be just like you. Killing my poor back ... 5y

Had to share a few more pictures. It was a beautiful book shop!

MemoirsForMe 😍😍😍 5y

JaclynW I was here visiting just last week!! It's my second time at the bookstore. The first time I purchased the complete short stories by Faulkner. For as tiny as the store is, it has a great selection of books, don't you think? 5y

JaclynW Also, your pictures turned out way better than mine. 😊 5y

staci.reads @JaclynW I agree. Excellent selection and a gorgeous store. I could have stayed for hours! 5y

Visited Faulkner House Books today in the French Quarter. Gorgeous historic store! Left with four new books. #supportindiebookstores

Exbrarian The selection there is small, but wonderfully curated.
5y

staci.reads @Exbrarian Agreed. They had some beautiful hardcover editions of some of my favorites I had not seen before. 5y

Mitch Looks a lovely store 5y

mcipher New Orleans! Such a fun city. Hope you aren‘t running into the bad weather there. 5y

KatieDid927 I love that town! And that shop! 5y

BoleyBooks Hoping they do not have water right now. 🤞🙏😔😢 5y

staci.reads @mcipher We cut our trip a little short and left yesterday morning to get out ahead of it. Sounds like today is bad there. 5y

staci.reads @BoleyBooks Everything was good there 3 days ago after the initial couple downpours, but now that the worst is hitting, I'm also hoping they stay dry. Sounds like today is bad. 5y

BoleyBooks @staci.reads I am a Louisiana native born and bred and that reflects so much in the books I write. It will always be home. 5y

JaclynW What books did you get? Ww flew in the Monday after Barry. We were worried that we would have to cancel our trip. Ww were glued to the weather updates. Thankfully all was well. We had great weather while we were there. We just got home a few days ago. Did you enjoy your trip to New Orleans? 5y

staci.reads @JaclynW I held myself to 3...a Penguin clothbound Jane Austen anthology titled Love and Friendship, a beautiful hardcover Graoes of Wrath, and a nonfiction titled Zora and Langston, about the friendship of those 2 authors. I felt a little bad not buying anything Faulkner 😏 5y

JaclynW @staci.reads Great choices!! You can buy Faulkner next time. 🙂 5y

My #letstraveljuly #neworleans is not a book but a bookshop. This place is packed full of history as well as awesome books. I headed home with a handful of local authors after a lovely long chat with the team there. I would have posted if I were at home and could snap my shelves!) @OriginalCyn620 @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks (despite 2 trips to New Orleans this appears to be the only non person photo I have on my phone!)
