Filling the Shelf – 114
Filling the Shelf is basically Mailbox Monday or the more recent Stacking the Shelves, but with a title that suits my blog! If you’re interested in joining the fun or seeing what other bloggers added to their shelves, I invite you to visit the two hosts!
Hello hello everyone!
I am back from France! Whoa, did these weeks go by fast! Three amazing weeks traveling and eating and seeing the most gorgeous and interesting places; I really couldn’t have asked for a more amazing experience! And while I am now completely exhausted and really appreciate being back home, I would do it again with great pleasure.
I promised many of you to share pictures and this will, indeed, happen over the course of the next few weeks. But other than pictures, I also brought back many, many books from Paris! 16, to be exact; 4 in English, 2 about places we visited, and most of it books in French. It turns out French books are much more cheaper over there than here, and it was my birthday after all!
Books in French include : Andrea H. Japp, Hélène Grémillong, Lucia Etxebarria, Mathias Malzieu, and a few more.
I got some books from Shakespeare and Company (how do I love this place!) and because they would be souvenirs from Paris on top of being simple books, I decided to go with authors I know and love.
The Portable Dorothy Parker by Dorothy Parker (edited by Marion Meade) / Sweet Tooth by Ian McEwan
American Gods by Neil Gaiman / The Lover’s Dictionary by David Levithan
What did you add to your shelves recently?
Sounds like an amazing trip. Glad you enjoyed yourself.
ENJOY your books.

My Mailbox Monday
Interesting looking reads…I read Sweet Tooth awhile ago. Intriguing book!
Here’s MY SUNDAY UPDATES/MAILBOX MONDAY
It’s been a while since I have read Ian McEwan, but I am really looking forward to it!
Glad you had an amazing trip! How could you not in Paris? Books make great souvenirs, and I’d love to visit Shakespeare and Company someday. And I see you’re reading Just One Day- perfect for the Paris theme! I’m re-listening to the audio in preparation for Just One Year.
Whoa- look at that new cover of The Lover’s Dictionary! I haven’t seen that one before.
Enjoy all your new books. Can’t wait to see your travel photos!
Oh, I hope you do get to visit Shakespeare and Company one day; it’s a truly unique place.
I started reading Just One Day for real in the plane coming back home, so I had a bit of a bittersweet experience with it, to say the least! But I am halfway through now and really wondering where this is going.
Welcome back. I can’t wait for pics.
These are some super cool covers.
