Mostly Wordless Wednesday – Visiting Victor Hugo, Place des Vosges

Please feel free to skip through the words if you want to enjoy a real Wordless Wednesday experience; revisiting our trip in Paris makes it difficult to keep my fingers tied up! The small apartment we rented for our three weeks stay in Paris was a corner away from Place des Vosges, yet Victor Hugo’s place, which I really wanted to see, was one of our very last stops. By that time, we were exhausted from constantly running from one...

The Shelves! – part 1 (or : Tetris with books)

You guys might have noticed, for the couple few weeks, that my “Filling the Shelves” posts have been getting lighter, filled mostly with ebooks, galleys and audiobooks. Things got even lighter this week as nothing, absolutely nothing new arrived. I’m not complaining!
