It was short and spare, almost reminding me a bit of Hemingway, but lovely and poignant (and less opaque than Hemingway.) <br /><br />Feeling: Stressed at work, but happy at home and I anticipate the stress won't last forever, so . . .<br /><br />Appreciating: Having had lots of great friend and family time over the weekend. <br /><br />Loving: that my 11-year-old will still let me read books to her at night sometimes.

The author is Claude Izner (which is actually a pen name for 2 sisters), and their novels center around a rare bookstore and the book seller, Victor Legris, who decides to start investigating a murder at the Eiffel Tower. There are several in the series and Paris itself, as well as historical events, are always a part of the story. One of the books even involves a disappearance at the Père-Lachaise cemetery. I'm not sure if you're a series mystery novel kind of girl, but it seems that you would enjoy the setting, and the stories are fun and interesting if anything. I enjoyed reading them, after I stumbled upon the first one, I decided to read them all. - Just wanted to pass it on - and also to say thanks, I love listening to the podcast, and it was fun following along with your summer in Paris via your blog and instagram.
