I went on a Thrift Book spree and got a stack of books I've been searching for for quite a while. The two I am most excited about are from my French Connections list:
French Ways and Their Meanings by Edith Wharton. This is a facsimile of the original 1919 edition and offers Wharton's firsthand observations on French life.
Bistro Cooking by Patricia Wells. I have been cuddling up with this one, dreaming of the distant day when my kitchen remodel will be finished.
Oh, I bet French Ways and Their Meanings is fascinating! Congratulations to the winners!
ReplyDeleteOh - I think the Wharton looks fascinating, too!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the win of Warming Up!
Enjoy your books. They look interesting.
