Thanks for stopping by :-)
PAris in July sounds fun! I should jump into that- if July wasn't half over already! This whole month is getting away too fast! I've been thinking of trying Maisie Dobbs
ReplyDeletePersuasion is my favorite Austen.
ReplyDeleteA real French croissant sounds delicious! Hope you have a good week!

I don't know what is saving the world and/or humanity. Great question. Maybe some French croissants for everyone will help! Lost Books of Jane Austen has a great cover. Enjoy your week!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you got a good book for your Paris in July event and tasty French croissants to go with it. Neat to see the old buildings.
ReplyDeleteI like the looks of that Anthony Boudain movie and neat that you scored a mystery from the free library.
Have a good week!
You have some great books. Enjoy them all, and thanks for visiting my blog.
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of Paris in July. Your books look good. Enjoy them! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteGood looking books....great photo!!
ReplyDeleteENJOY this new week of reading.
We have a French bakery nearby and it is one of my favorite places. Have fun with the Austen!
ReplyDeleteThe Paris in July event looks like fun.
ReplyDeleteA Psalm for the Wild-Built looks good to me.
Happy Reading!
I love croissants.
ReplyDeleteLots of neat books this week. A Paris All Your Own has a pretty cover. Maisie Dobbs looks good.
Hope you enjoy your books and your week.

Fresh croissants are the best! Persuasion is also one of my favourite Jane Austen books, so I hope you love it! Also hope you enjoy all your other reads and have a lovely week :)

Oh I'd heard about the Bourdain doc. My husband loves him.
ReplyDeleteThat Bourdain documentary sounds excellent. I'll look for it when it gets to Netflix. Thanks for hosting Mailbox Mondays now! I haven't been around for a few weeks so haven't had a chance to say hi and thank you for joining the team.
ReplyDeleteI've never read more than the first book in The Maisie Dobbs series, loved it! No clue why I didn't read the rest!
ReplyDeleteHope you will have a good week and thanks for stopping by.
Hope you're enjoying Paris in July! And just the mention of croissants now has me craving them. :)
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing

ReplyDeleteEnjoy the rest of your week!
I love free little libraries. You can always manage to find something interesting to read. Enjoy your week!
ReplyDeleteI found this "The Lost Books of Jane Austen" fascinating when I read it. I hope you do too.
ReplyDeletePersuasion is my favorite!
ReplyDeleteI tried watching one episode of The Watchmen and couldn't get into it.
