Impressive! <br /><br />This one looks especially interesting, plus any time I see a Du Maurier book I have to stop and pause! The McEwan book looks good too.<br /><br />I'm always drawn to Venice books - might have to sign up!Two Bibliomaniacshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02442484227213602009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9088702729460953718.post-7824253628309682342011-11-26T19:03:55.267-04:002011-11-26T19:03:55.267-04:00All those books look great, happy reading.

I didn't ride in a gondola when I was there. I figure it was supposed to be romantic, so if I ever go with my husband, we'll ride, but it didn't seem right with my sister!raidergirl3https://www.blogger.com/profile/03629915042716259349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9088702729460953718.post-8379039638668316672011-11-23T15:43:27.910-04:002011-11-23T15:43:27.910-04:00I've joined too!

It will mean so much more reading about V. if you've already been there. Sadly, I have not, and I fear I never shall. But I can pretend as I read along that I am in a gondola. When I was a girl I thought it romantic, now I find it creepier. Must be the movies I've seen. :<)Nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15547916206007733970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9088702729460953718.post-41306158637460268652011-11-21T06:13:24.921-04:002011-11-21T06:13:24.921-04:00I was looking at this challenge last night.

I hated the birds at St Mark's Square! ugh, so gross.<br /><br />marg - that's exactly what I was thinking! I loved Paris in July as well.raidergirl3https://www.blogger.com/profile/03629915042716259349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9088702729460953718.post-25774191237014204562011-11-20T19:15:21.404-04:002011-11-20T19:15:21.404-04:00Oh, I love participating in Paris in July and so t...Oh, I love participating in Paris in July and so this is a good another chance to read about a specific location!Marghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13508430635744720721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9088702729460953718.post-72623824180747427102011-11-20T14:49:53.480-04:002011-11-20T14:49:53.480-04:00Oh, I love your post!

You've added it to it so much with your photographs (the last time I was in St. Mark's Square was as a child of 8...or maybe also once in my 20s) as well as the background of the books. We're interested in the same ones I can see, especially the The Comfort of Strangers. I loved Don't Look Now by du Maurier, and I'm also hoping to read Death in la Fenice. So glad you're joining in with us, and thank you for posting about it here.Bellezza https://www.blogger.com/profile/18073864187188953633noreply@blogger.com
