Books again!!!

Last night, Bidou and I finished reading each a book. I finished reading "Flirting with Forty" by Jane Porter and Bidou finished "Du bois d'oeuvre aux bonnes oeuvres", the biographie of Michel Perron.


Bidou highly recommends this book. He does not read biographies often but this book really captured his attention.


As for me, well since "Flirting with Forty" is up my league, I really enjoyed this book. I cannot recall the last time I read a book in 4 days. This really feels like a vacation!

The book that I just read...

Before leaving Quebec City, I mentioned to Bidou that I wanted to read a book a week. Now that our journey has begun and since I am a very slow reader.. I am realizing that it’s pretty hard to read a book a week. I am the kind of reader that must read every word… and I would never dare to jump over lines or paragraphs. I would feel like I would be cheating the author or maybe yet be missing out on a very important detail of the story. So my new objective is to read a book every other week.

With this said… I will be blogging everytime I finish reading a book. Last night I finish reading “The Shop on Blossom Street” by Debbie Macomber. This is my first book by this author and it will not be my last. I remember picking up this book at Walmart while we lived in Morristown, New Jersey. I was attracted by the cover and a one liner sub-title that read “Four lives knit together”. I am really not a knitter but more a crocheter but the book completely screamed buy me!!

This book should definetly be brought to the small screen by Hallmark. It was a very cute story about 4 very different women that became fast friends by attending a Friday afternoon knitting class and made unexpected discoveries about themselves and each other.

On the last page of the book, the author writes about a sequel. So I’ve just added “A Good Yarn” to my “Must Read List”.

The other days!!!
