Y‘all, I am just trying to fulfill a square for my 2025 Beanstack Bingo Card by reading something I was SUPPOSED to have read in high school, and…I now remember why 2005 Megan said “nah.” 🫠👀 #aportraitoftheartistasayoungman #jamesjoyce

Saw this photo of Marilyn Monroe and it reminded me of the Shakespeare and Company‘s Ulysses buddy read a few years ago

& no Paris trip is complete without a visit to Shakespeare and Company

These are the books I came out with:
- Sally on the Rocks reminded my of a Barbara Pym novel
- The Paris Trilogy was recommended to any lover of Annie Ernaux
- Virgina Wolf had prepared The Life of Violet for publication, so then I want to read this early work
- Paris in Winter is the #SundayBuddyRead for December next year
- & Braithwaite‘s highly anticipated 2nd novel

Recent acquisition for our personal library.

An advance reader copy collected for me from this year's American Library Association conference by my new boss and library director. A kind and unexpected gift.

#Bibliophile #LostInTitle one of my favorite books about the time period. She knew everyone who came through Paris at the time.Hemingway,Fitzgerald, Stein, James Joyce . She was the first to publish Ulysses.

10/100, but it's more like 75/100 adjusted for Ulysses.

Notable titles of those I read:
1) Howards End (loved it)
2) The Trial (loved it)
3) Ulysses (loved being done with it)

Today involved a trip to Shakespeare and Co, as one must do when one is in Paris. I wrote a little in their Reading Room (a very little; someone else got to the convenient desk ahead of me) and bought some postcards since they don‘t allow photography.
