Madame Bovary - Gustave Flaubert (translation by Lydia Davis) - this book looks just divine and I will hopefully have it in time to read along with Frances and others.
Coco Chanel - Justine Picardie - I have been waiting for the release of this one for what feels like the longest time!
The Fashion File - Janie Bryant - One of my most beloved obsessions at the moment (apart from reading) is the TV show Mad Men and everything associated with it - especially the fashion.
Oh, I love it!! What a great gift at your door when it all comes in!!
ReplyDeleteOooh, these look intriguing! I especially love that Madame Bovary cover.
ReplyDeleteSuch fashionable reads! Like Andi, I'm smitten with that Madame Bovary cover. Lovely.
ReplyDeleteHi Karen,

Hi Coffee - I know! I am hoping (as they usually do with The Book Depository) that come one at a time so that my joy can last!!
ReplyDeleteHi Andi - I know, I do actually have another perfectly readable copy of Madame Bovary but this was just too gorgeous to resist.
Hi Meg - I am sure the cover will only add to the reading value of the content inside!
Hi Sabrina - thank you so much for awarding me such a lovely award!
I bet the Coco Chanel book will be fascinating. Madame Bovary is wonderful (sad) and you're in for a treat.What a gorgeous looking copy.
ReplyDeleteYay! You are joining us for sure now. Isn't that cover gorgeous too? Posting on Monday about the new Paris Review piece by Lydia Davis on the new translation. That Coco Chanel book looks pretty tempting too.
ReplyDeleteI was one of the lucky winners of Frances' Madame Bovary give-away and excited about reading it - glad you are too!
ReplyDeleteHi Karen, I just got notice that the book's available and Book Depository are sending it soon..... cant wait for this. The Coco story looks great too - can I borrow?? We should do tea and cake when the book comes in.
ReplyDeleteHi Jodie - I know, I have read it before but I think it would be a book that would offer many different things on different readings - looking forward to it!
