This theme does not cater to my too-long-for-Twitter and not-a-substantial-post, post. Also, I am far too lazy to make cute thumbnails for the archives page. Will have to settle for something less aesthetically pleasing. Alas, this is just me sending…
Merci, Galignani
Galignani, or “the first English bookstore established on the continent,” is my bookstore of choice in Paris. I know everyone swears by Shakespeare & Co. and I can’t really comment since I haven’t been though I’m sure it’s a lovely…
Me, Monocle & Munich
