I enjoyed Ex Libris, and The Little Paris Bookshop sounds good. Paris and books? What could be better?
I also just read Hawaii and I agree with 3 stars. Very interested to read your review!
Lovely that you have been able to see the Downton costumes. Happy reading this week 🙂
The Little Paris Bookshop looks so enticing…enjoy your books, and here are MY WEEKLY UPDATES
I will be visiting the Biltmore this summer. I am so sad to hear the show will be gone by then! I love Downton Abbey! I am reading The Warden, a "tea cup" mystery, and Let's Not Go to the Dogs Tonight which is wonderful! Can't wait to hear your thoughts on the Little Paris Bookshop.
I am a bit envious of your visit to the display at the Biltmore. I am a fan of Downton Abbey, sorry it is over already, but would be thrilled to be able to see the costumes. Lucky you!
Mr Books has read the GoT books…maybe when I retire, I will make time to read them all through (& maybe by then Martin will have finished writing the series!!)
I am going to get to the GoT books one of these days. Maybe if I keep saying that I actually will already! lol
How wonderful to be able go see that Dressing Downton display. I have just put The Little Paris Bookshop on my list as I am looking for a translated book for a challenge and this could be the one!
