Today is (normalement) the first day of Paris in July, a wonderful month-long fête hosted by Karen of BookBath and Tamara of Thyme for Tea. My eyes are always bigger than my reading time, but I've been collecting a stack of books, a movie or two, and some recipes. {No lists. I love making lists, but I'm also cultivating spontaneity.}
Because it came in (and was due back) at the library), I started my reading early, with David McCullough's The Greater Journey: Americans in Paris {please come back on July 4th?}, and (for the same reason, though the line wasn't as long), John Baxter's The Most Beautiful Walk in the World: A Pedestrian in Paris. I've also just finished Ernest Hemingway's A Moveable Feast. A person could be happy enough with those, but enough doesn't have to be enough.
Are you traveling with us? What are you packing for the trip?

While I won't be joining in on this challenge I did just finish a book for the Brookner challenge. It was partly set in Paris and was wonderful!
Enjoy your reading!
Like Darlene, I won't be joining in the challenge. I am completely committed for the next two months with books for the Summer Schools I'm running. However, i am going to be making a list of all the books people suggest. I love Paris and I think this is a wonderful way of spending time there.
So glad you are joining us for the month! Thank you for sharing your music love too - I had never heard of those musicians before so it will be something new for me to look into - I agree with you, their lyrics sound divine.
