It's Banned Book week and one of my favorite banned books is BELOVED by Toni Morrison. If you want a ghost story about unresolved trauma with beautiful prose, this is the book you should read.

All the people writing so fondly about Scholastic Book Fairs did not grow up poor, and it shows I don't like bashing any event that promotes literacy, but I dreaded those fairs They were yet another "opportunity" to be bullied mercilessly & to be reminded that owning new books was for rich kids

In Paris, a new wall may hold some exciting remains of a town mentioned by Julius Caesar in his BG: Gallic Lutetia. And remains of the burnt portions “may correspond to Caesar’s account that the Gauls set fire to their settlement before fleeing the advancing Romans.” (Bellum Gallicum 7.58) (Gift 🔗)

A discovery at a Parisian hospital, on an island in the Seine, has given archaeologists clues about the city as Julius Caesar may have found it.

"at one magical instant in your early childhood, the page of a book- that string of confused, alien ciphers- shivered into meaning. words spoke to you, gave up their secrets; at that moment, whole universes opened. you became, irrevocably, a reader."

Goodnight from Prosperine’s Bookshop, its patrons enchanted by Emily c. Banting’s talk on magical garters and the Empress Eel’s folkloric power. Goodnight from the pubs of Store Street, where strange stories are a currency to be swapped for pints of Lazarus ale. Goodnight from Hookland.

You might want to be outstanding but I would rather be insitting, cosy, under a nice blanket.

An Alpine ibex perched on the roof of a chalet in the Parc de Merlet near Chamonix, France. They are famous for their extraordinary balance and often climb onto the stone chimneys of chalets in this area to lick minerals or soak up the sun. The background offers a view of the Mont Blanc massif.
