In My Mailbox (67)

In my mailbox was started by Kristi (The story siren) and inspired by Alea (Pop Culture Junkie). It is a way to share the books we receive each week in our mailbox or books you've bought or find in the library.
I bought two books at my local bookshop yesterday (that's why they are in french) :

Concerto à la mémoire d'un ange by Eric Emmanuel Schmitt. He is one of my favorite french author. I've heard really good things about this book. It's actually short stories and he won a prize for it (Goncourt). I've always wanted to read it but the book was pretty expensive. It just came out in a smaller paperback version and the price went down too so I finally bought it. And i'm glad I waited for this version because I love the cover. Eric Emmanuel Schmitt is going to do a book signing in my city next month. It'll be my fourth book signing with him I can't wait !
La danseuse et le roi by Anne Marie Pol. I met Anne Marie Pol last week end at Paris book fair and she talked about her newest book La danseuse et le roi which is a book about dance and ballet but in an historical context (Louis XIV). It's a middle grade book but I wanted to read it anyway. I've always loved Anne Marie Pol books when I was little.
