There’s an exhausting list of things we need for the apartment, but it’s time to have fun and add some small, decorative personal touches.
The bookshelf in our apartment looks a little empty, so I found a list of secondhand bookstores written by Insidr Paris and decided to head to Boulinier in Bonne Nouvelle.
If you’re looking to shop for English books, this Boulinier location only carries a small selection of English novels and an even smaller selection of English books mixed in the shelves. There are several other stores that also carry vinyls, films and music.
I don’t know if my French fluency will reach the point where I can read an entire novel in French—it killed me to leave Jackie Kennedy’s biography on the shelf, knowing that I couldn’t read the 500 pages.
I found a few magazines and books to build my book collection. I might go back to pick up the Paris vs. New York book I saw on the counter by the front desk…
