I passed on Bitter Greens and I am regretting it as everyone is liking it! Dang. Also, I kind of like that cover!

I see you are reading Proust. I love that. You don’t see many bloggers reading the deep, complex stuff!

  I could swap my ARC of Bitter Greens for one of yours. Do you have a list somewhere of books you are ready to get rid of? Though being French, I had never taken time to read more than vol 1 of Proust. So I started last year with the very active group of reading all of Proust in the year, that was the anniversary of the 1st volume. But I didn’t keep up the timing, so still working on it this year

That’s a wonderful selection of books. Right now I’m mostly reading scary books as my blog posts go dark for Halloween in October. Just read Not Juliet, a short, swet romance by Ella Medler. I needed to lighten things up:)
