| Signing. |
 |
| Drinks. |
 |
| Going to sit on a panel, which may or may not be taking place inside a secret garden. (My lovely interpreter, Hélène Bury, took this photo!) |
 |
| More signing. In case you're under the misapprehension that signing mostly involves signing, actually it's mostly talking about cassoulet recipes with Jean-Claude Dunyach, watching Laurence Suhner draw beautiful pictures, and staring across the aisle at Marie Pavlenko and Paolo Bacigalupi. Occasionally Gilles Servat does a dance. |
 |
| In a quiet moment, checking the Appendix of Bitterblue to see how to abuse a cat in French. (If this picture looks a bit odd on the top, it's because I realized there's an enormous Graceling spoiler (in French) above the entry for "Lovejoy," so I (clumsily) photoshopped it out. Readers, I respect you.) |
 |
| Finally, after all that hard work... in a bar full of books, |
 |
| where it is fun to look down on the proceedings, |
 |
| and where the ceiling is held up by books… |
 |
| more drinks. |
:o)
I'm back in Paris now and leave for Épinal tomorrow, but I'll share my many pictures of the town of Saint-Malo over the next few days whenever I can.
