I think you'd enjoy her!<br /><br />Rachel - I've seen mixed reviews of the film, but may still add it to the Netflix queue.<br /><br />DS - I think Colette did do her writing from bed. How appropriate, lol! Gotta love word verification... how do they do that?<br /><br />Tamara - There have been so many exciting literary offerings for Paris in July. I'm going to need to do this again. Thanks so much for hosting!<br /><br />Beth F - Now I need to decide what to read next. Maybe Gigi?JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691864361197071517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-86696234796346531482010-08-01T08:05:04.090-04:002010-08-01T08:05:04.090-04:00Oh how I love Colette.

Cheri put me in a wistful, reflective sort of mood, but that turned more anxie with The Last of Cheri. Not sure which of her books I'll read next.<br /><br />Rhasodyinbooks - My husband often passes judgement on a book based on my mood while reading. He tends to 'enjoy' Jane Austen, but was relieved when I finished The Pilots Wife by Anita Shreve (about 10 yrs. ago). That book made me hate all men while I was reading it ;-)JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691864361197071517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-29881145718883955492010-07-30T17:43:51.340-04:002010-07-30T17:43:51.340-04:00I love your husband's comment!

I read Colette's Vagabond as part of Paris in July. I'm not sure what mood Cheri put you in but I felt anxie reading The Vagabond. I can't say I loved it but it will stay with me. I now want to go back and read Gigi and I will see the darker side to it.Joan Hunter Dunnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14652041203134127783noreply@blogger.com
