Dubliners | James Joyce

Happy St Paddy's Day! ☘️☘️☘️

I started my day with a couple stories from the tagged while drinking tea my parents brought back from their last trip to Ireland 🇮🇪 before jumping into the kitchen to bake soda bread to go with tonight's dinner. Next, on to Dublin Coddle while the music plays! If you're looking for a playlist today, I love this one: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0GpyyMiGai1OHwfmkSEG6c?si=P7_wQtDjQ_mvsSdrPqua...

Very interesting history of James Joyce and the author's childhood with her “fearly“ father.

Shakespeare and Company | Sylvia Beach

I‘ve spent 5 days in Paris and came back last Thursday.

A visit to Shakespeare and Company feels almost mandatory as a reader and book lover, but I also love that store.

These are the books I bought.

I also bought this new tote bag with the very fitting quote

LeahBergen What a lovely haul! 5mo

Ulysses | James Joyce

I need your opinion! What would you do: I have a honeymoon ahead in august. We‘ll have a long distance journey there (~20h) and back (~28h) plus two shorter journeys (~4h) between locations. First week will be lots of sightseeing, second week will be spent mainly at the beach (lots of reading time). Would you take many short(er) books to get a dent in your TBR (and how many??) or one chunkster (I‘m thinking Ulysses) plus maybe two lighter reads?

LeahBergen I would definitely go for more beach reads! I‘ve taken big fat classics on holiday before (and I DO love them) but never seem as eager to dive into them. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 9mo

yourfavouritemixtape I think you should bring other books to take your head off Ulysses for a bit every now and then. I don‘t think I could have read it with no other books in between. :) 9mo

ju.ca.no @LeahBergen @yourfavouritemixtape thanks for the tips🤗 you‘re probably right and I should tackle lighter reads! 9mo

kspenmoll On a honeymoon I would definitely take easy reads! 8mo

Ulysses | James Joyce

My dear friend recently went to Ireland and Salem, MA, and she thoughtfully brought me a few keepsakes from those regions. Of course, they were book-related! 🥰 I love having friends who know me so well!

Leftcoastzen Nice! 9mo

Ruthiella How neat! 😃 (edited) 9mo

Ulysses | James Joyce

Working on a Saturday isn't great, but there are definitely great moments! I am wearing my Ulysses shirt today and have already had three conversations with patrons about the book! Did I read it? Is it good? Is it really THAT challenging? (Yes, twice! Yes, very good! ABSOLUTELY YES! 🤭)

Having fun conversations about books with strangers is definitely one of my favorite things about being a librarian! 💕📚

Leftcoastzen Great conversation starter! Loves me some Jimmy Joyce ! Hope you had a happy Bloomsday! 9mo

CindyMyLifeIsLit I read it once, did NOT love it, and have been trying to gird my loins for another run at it. I‘ve heard that audio is the way to go, so will probably add that to the mix next time (along with the three additional books that explain all the allusions and other literary shenanigans going on!). I also love your necklace!! 🎈 9mo

AnnCrystal 📚😎👍💝. 9mo

Branwen @Leftcoastzen Yay! You too, my friend! 🥰 @AnnCrystal 💕📚💕 @CindyMyLifeIsLit Thank you so much! It's my new favorite necklace! 😀 Ooooh I've never listened to Ulysses before! I bet that's going to be such an incredible experience! 🥰 9mo
