Paris in July - Week 3 (already!)

Dear friends, I', overwhelmed with your passion and engagement with this Paris in July event. I honestly didn't think that there'd be many people left in blogging land to keep this show on the road - but WOW!! so much activity going on.... so much so  that I don't feel I've paid due diligence as a host to get around and visit you all. I will try and get around a bit more this week... 

Of the few blogs I did pop over to visit, I wanted to call out Mae's special post - in response to my friend Megan's guest entry. Mae shared a post from previous years, about The Existentialist Café - a book that I have and I read sections from time to time - but Mae's review was a great little read in itself - Highly recommend it if you haven't got over there yet. 

NancyElin has continued to devour classic literature, and if you're like me, and likely to never ready these plays or novels - Nancy's reviews a a good level of detail and intrigue. 

For something a little different - visit Stacy's Books as she blogged a combo style post - on books, cemeteries and puzzles - all Paris based :) 

Kwakito is really testing my french language skills, but I'm really loving those simple photo's from Paris.. 

As for week 3 - I hope to post a reading review, a Tour de France review, and maybe even another Guest Post!  

For now - here's a quote to inspire your thoughts from Julian Barnes

“It took me some years to clear my head of what Paris wanted me to admire about it, and to notice what I preferred instead. Not power-ridden monuments, but individual buildings which tell a quieter story: the artist’s studio, or the Belle Epoque house built by a forgotten financier for a just-remembered courtesan.”
