This Is Shyness. I need to look that up.
ReplyDeleteit's by a local melbourne author who works at a fab bookshop, look her up for a musical interview she did with david levithan! hi-larious. i'll let you know how the book goes.
ReplyDeleteJe vais en vacances aussi! To Paris! I am beside myself with excitement. And oh dearie me to choose which books to take is always a dilemma. So thanks for the tips. So far I have Jaspar Jones (still unread) and a book of short stories by Marie Darrieussecq (sp?) in French! I am in a French book group and I am the worst reader but I can just get my head around a short story and I figured 'When in Rome...' (we're heading to Rome, too.) Four weeks of European summer! Yay!
