Extra
Extra means GREAT events you don't see every month at The Little Bookshop. Some are organized by moi (Liz) and others by experts in their fields.
"Nuits de la Lecture" - Silent Book Club 23/01
Since 2017, the French Ministry of Culture organizes "Nuits de la Lecture" to celebrate the pleasure in reading books. Every year there's a theme, this year they've chosen:
"This theme refers firstly to intimate literature: to the heritage bequeathed to us by our ancestors, to what has been transmitted to us, or not, through the generations and which the author chooses to evoke in his work. ; a body, possessions (including books), a culture, sometimes traumas, heritage then understood as the own history of our family, real or constructed, constantly updated."
To celebrate this event, we like to start the first evening/night with our first Silent Book Club. And now you might wonder... what does this mean?
We will be reading (our own books) from 19.30 until 21.30 in the shop. There will be a small break for the ones who'd like to discuss some of the books but the main goal is to read. So are you ready for our first Silent Book Club?
There are eight places available (for now). This will be a free event. You want to try this evening full of reading? Please send us an email with subject line "Silent Book Club" to contact@thelittlebookshop.fr.
Tarot Reading Sessions
One of my favorite book series is "All Our Hidden Gifts" by Caroline O'Donoghue. In these books, tarot cards are important to the story. So when Laurel proposed to do some tarot reading sessions in English, I immediately said yes!
We'll start with three sessions in October 2024 from 18.00:
11th of October (Friday)
15th of October (Tuesday)
31st of October (Thursday)
To make a reservation for 15 min (€15) or 20 min (€20), please have a look at Laurel's website.
Meet Laurel, the tarot reader/clairvoyant
"My name is Laurel and I am a professional clairvoyant tarot reader. I have been reading tarot for over 13 years and I enjoy helping others on their spiritual journey. I receive messages from Spirit and see what they need to show me in order to give the best tarot reading I can. My gifts come from my family due to our rich background. Growing up 30 minutes from San Francisco, California I was immersed in various cultures and beliefs about spirituality and religion. Tarot is a mirror that's meant to reflect what you don't see and to give you another perspective. Tarot can be healing, funny and grounding at the same time. I am honored to take the time to read your cards and to see what the future holds for you. Blessings."
