I just read all the posts written by bloggers who had read it jealously. And then when I was going through my [...]

I just posted about Shakespeare and Company over at BlogHer. Head on over.
What I didn’t say there - I didn’t spend nearly as much time there as I would like because well, it would have been very bad for my bank account. Also, I stupidly went during the first trip to Paris (I was there [...]

I’ve decided that September is going to be a no book buying month. Which meant, of course, that I had to go book shopping today. lol Even though I have *plenty* on my shelves that require reading it’s never enough is it? Although as the very nice man at the secondhand bookstore said, at least [...]

I haven’t been checking out the Nicholas Hoare events listing because they hadn’t updated it all summer and I got tired of not seeing anything change. And then I forgot about it.
As a result? Missed the Books and Brunch with Diane Setterfield on Oct 15.
Damn you Nicholas Hoare! Damn you!

If you are a Dr. Marla fan she’s doing a q&a with Heather Reisman [...]

I am banning bookstores. More specifically, I am banning myself from going into bookstores.
My friend was called to the bar yesterday and I attended the ceremony with his wife and family. In the afternoon I played tour guide showing his parents around the St. Lawrence Market and then before we parted ways I took [...]

So tonight I went out for a yummy dinner. Then after dinner we wandered and ended up at a bookstore. And guess what I did?
Yes I bought more damned books.
I bought:
The Secret Garden - I want to read it for the SRC b/c I’ve never read it and it matched my copy of The Little [...]

I went for a walk tonight.
I did not intend to buy anything.
I thought maybe I’d go to a patio, have a beer. But the patios were full of loud people who had been there most of the day, many celebrating the World Cup. I just wasn’t in the mood for that.
So I stopped at the [...]

From today’s online version of the Globe and Mail, “For Bookstores, soaring loonie yields plot twist on prices”:
Publishers who distribute U.S. books in this country are scrambling to reprice their products, after an outcry from book stores and consumers unhappy over the outdated exchange rate used to calculate Canadian prices.
