A Good Week in Books (209)

I’m back! I got married in the beginning of September! And then Nick and I took our honeymoon in Paris. I’m finally getting back on to a normal routine. That being said, I’ve still been doing a lot of reading. I looked forward to nothing more than sitting outside at a café in Paris with a good book, and I got to do that!  I’ve read 7 books since my last post…so I have a lot of blogging to catch up on.

I also bought an obnoxious amount of books from my favorite bookstore in the world, which happens to be in Paris: Shakespeare and Company. I’m still not sure how I fit them all into my suitcase….I also got a couple of pre-orders in. My mom got me a book to go with one of her wedding gifts. She bought me a painting from her trip to Israel and the book tells the story of the artist (whose story was actually told in the movie, Schindler’s List). And I received one for review from Swoon Reads.

I’ve had an unbelievable month. I married my best friend. We almost got married during a hurricane…but the weather cleared up and the sun even came out! Paris was just a dream. I also had to say goodbye to my 15-year old car this month. I’m now a proud Subaru owner of a car I’ve named McGonagall. My old car was my dad’s so I had a weird attachment to it, but it was time.

Any way, I think I’ll have to share a few special pictures at the bottom of the post.
