It's hard to believe that in just 9 days I'll be London-bound. The question on everyone's lips is if I'm finished packing. Alas, I'm sorry to report that there is still a long way to go. The process of getting ready has been quite an experience in itself. From tracking down kites and tripods to making hotel reservations and scanning travel books, every day has been full of planning and scavenging for things I need to bring with me. It's not that I'm a heavy packer but that there is so much to consider when traveling to another country. I'll get it all done though. Just wait and see.
To keep my head on straight and take a break from all the details though, I've been looking for some British and French-related literature (I'm spending a weekend in Paris) to read with my new traveling companion, Pigwidgeon. On the list of possibilities are:
- The Count of Monte Cristo (French)
- I Capture the Castle (England)
- Watership Down (England)
- 84 Charing Cross Road (England)
- Under the Greenwood Tree (England)
The library is closed until Sunday so in the meantime we're reading
Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children.
Do you have any suggestions for reading material? What's your favorite British or French book?
