This library book will be finished before the New Year. So #OutWithTheOldInWithTheNew or #OutWithTheOld
Had to pick up holds at the library, so of course I raided the “new” section. #libraryholds #libraryfinds. I am excited- did not know there was a new Bruno, Chief of Police, novel published in 2024.
Another book set in #Dordogne (and Charente) : a graphic work about a still owner who travels from farm to farm to turn his customers' fruit into brandy. There weren't many of them left in 1999-2000 which is when the book is set, but there are even fewer now, both because life has changed and because hardly anybody is allowed a tax exemption on their first liters of alcohol, as it cannot be passed down the generations anymore.
