BOOKCLUB: The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz ZafĂłn
Sun, Jun 7, 9:30 AMLet's get together with a drink and discuss this book :) Barcelona, 1945: A city slowly heals from its war wounds, and Daniel, an antiquarian book dealer's son who mourns the loss of his mother, finds solace in a mysterious book entitled The Shadow of the Wind, by one Julian Carax. But when he sets out to find the author's other works, he makes a shocking discovery: someone has been systematically destroying every copy of every book Carax has written. In fact, Daniel may have the last of Carax's books in existence. Soon Daniel's seemingly innocent quest opens a door into one of Barcelona's darkest secrets--an epic story of murder, madness, and doomed love.

BOOKCLUB: Waiting for Bojangles by Olivier Bourdeaut
Sun, Jun 14, 2:00 PMLet's get together with a drink and discuss this book. Location to be confirmed soon :) **The runaway international bestsellerâshortlisted for one of Franceâs highest literary prizesâa dark, funny, and wholly charming novel about a young boy and his eccentric family who grapple with the realities of mental illness in unique and whimsical ways.** A young boy lives with his madcap parents, Louise and George, and an exotic bird in a Parisian apartment, where the unopened mail rises in a tower by the door, the bird acts like a member of the family, and his parents dance to Nina Simoneâs mellifluous classic âMister Bojangles.â As his mother, mesmerizing and unpredictable, descends deeper into mental illness, it is up to the boy and his father to keep her safe and, when that fails, happy. Fleeing Paris for a country home in Spain, they come to understand that some of the most radiant people bear the heaviest burdens. Told from the perspective of a young boy who idolizes his parents and from Georgeâs journals, detailing the epic love story with his wife, this charming, heartbreaking gem of a novel will stay with you long after the final page. As we read, their love story becomes ours. [https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/40538667-waiting-for-bojangles](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/40538667-waiting-for-bojangles)

ET SI ON SE LISAIT NOS EXTRAITS FAVORIS ?
Sun, Jun 21, 2:30 PM* Que diriez-vous d'une entrĂ©e dans l'Ă©tĂ© avec notre petite formule de "lecture plaisir" Ă haute voix ? On vous en rappelle le principe : Chacun apporte un extrait de roman qu'il chĂ©rit particuliĂšrement, le lit Ă tous, puis, sur quelques indices, tente de faire deviner qui en est l'auteur/e, et enfin, s'il le souhaite, tente l'explication du pourquoi de cet attrait particulier pour ces mots partagĂ©s. Afin de jouer pleinement le jeu, chacun apporte le livre dont est issu l'extrait (5 pages max.) en masquant sa couverture et a en tĂȘte 2-3 choses notables ( ou plus ;) ) sur son auteur/e pour rĂ©pondre aux questions des oreilles attentives qui chercheront son identitĂ©. **Inscription** Ne vous inscrivez, sâil vous plaĂźt, que si vous ĂȘtes sĂ»r/e d'ĂȘtre prĂ©sent/e le jour J. et si vous avez un extrait chouchou (parce que beau/marquant/questionnant/drĂŽle/troublant ...etc ... etc) Ă partager. Au plaisir de se rencontrer, dĂ©battre et faire naĂźtre de nouvelles envies de lectures !
