A couple days ago, I noticed I was lacking motivation to pick up a book. Then, as I looked through the list of what I recently read, I realized that most of these books had been galleys and arcs. While I enjoyed most of them, I was missing the spontaneity of picking up a book by myself, just because I felt like it; it was clear that I needed a break from galleys so that I could read a few books from my shelves! Since we are leaving for Paris...

Hey all! I feel like I am almost late to be writing this post, but I do hope I’ll still be lucky enough to find some volunteers! It only occured to me this Monday, as I was planning posts for the summer, that I could maybe find some guest bloggers to help me with the Curio in August! You see, the man and I are leaving on August 2 for a three weeks stay in France! I am so excited to be going back, and can’t believe it’s been...

Hey everyone! This is it : we are finally in our new place! We still have a few more things to get, but we have been sleeping in our bed, in our new bedroom since Saturday night. We were lucky that it didn’t rain too much, we had pizza and a birthday cake for the Man of the House, and it went much quicker than our last move. I had felt really “in between two places” since last week. The Monday before we moved in, we started...

Hey everyone! Just wanted to update you all quickly on the state of things. We are officially moving this coming weekend, but we have spent the last days at our new apartment, painting and cleaning. On Monday we moved the cat there so he would be able to get a good sniff of things and explore a little. It was terrifying. He still stays hidden during the day, but at night, he comes out and explore more and more of the apartment. Poor little furry...

Some of you may have noticed that the blog has been unusually quiet in the past couple of weeks. It’s been less than a dozen of days, but it feels like months since I showed up in the blogosphere! A lot has happened since, and I thought it would be nice to keep you all in the loop. About twenty days from now, the Man of the House, the Furry One and I will be moving! This was not something we knew about two weeks ago; we were already...
