My November Reading was heavily influenced by my travel in France and Italy. They would be good companions if you need some “trains and planes” reading in the near future. Should you be staying home, though, while yearning to travel, these titles and a comfy armchair can take you to France, Italy, England, Cape Cod, and even ancient Greece.

In Italy right now, but I brought my hand-written Reading Journal so that I can still publish my October Books post. I’m looking forward to our usual book chat — hope you find something here for your TBR list!

The Vancouver Public Library was very good to me last month! Latest books in favourite mystery series, a wonderful memoir about life in an Italian village; an important novel by a pre-eminent Ukrainian writer set near the Russian-Ukrainian border; and a charming Italian classic.
