I thought it was a beautifully written, soothing book that's worth taking your time to read and savor as you do.<br />I am anxious to read A Novel Bookshop and hope you enjoy it!<br /><br />Happy Reading!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09866342436745173619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7892722103504759154.post-56776056357015185212011-07-04T19:23:05.250-04:002011-07-04T19:23:05.250-04:00Having just returned from Paris, I recommend Time ...Having just returned from Paris, I recommend Time Was Soft There: A Paris Sojourn to the Shakespeare & Co. by Jeremy Mercer.

A Novel Bookstore is a flawed but really entertaining book that will have you making long lists of other books you want to read.

I enjoyed that movie, too! And I know what you mean, I would have rather had more Julie than Julie - she seemed like a brat. This is definitely a fun challenge - can't wait to read your posts ;)<br /><br />Victoria, that's great the book was wonderful - I can't wait to read it!<br /><br />Ellie, check out the music - its great! Very atmospheric ;)<br /><br />Karen, I'm on the same page with you and Bellezza about that movie:) Hope you are enjoying your vacation! Can't wait to read your thoughts on Tapestry and yes, Putumayo cds are great - get some :)<br /><br />Joan, I know what you mean! There are so many great books out there for this challenge that its hard to only pick a few.Nadiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14315207186180201488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7892722103504759154.post-47889441944942820042011-07-03T12:28:22.040-04:002011-07-03T12:28:22.040-04:00oh I really want to read Lunch in Paris& My li...oh I really want to read Lunch in Paris& My life in Paris.

The Julie character seemed so whiny and what is not to love about Meryl Streep? She was just great.<br /><br />I just finished Tapestry of Love and am feeling mixed about it. I'm still on vacation but it'll be my first post when I get home, probably up tomorrow. <br /><br />And I want some Putomoya cds too!

I rather enjoyed the movie with her, although ironic as it sounds, I could have done with a little more of Julia's life and a little less of blogger woman. Anyway, isn't this a fun challenge? Looking forward to participating in it with you.Bellezza https://www.blogger.com/profile/18073864187188953633noreply@blogger.com
