Once I finish my current reads, I plan to read a lot of poetry in honor of National Poetry Month. I've had some of these titles on my shelves for a long time.

I've been studying French quite steadily since the beginning of the year, and I feel a lot more confident about my comprehension after reading a section of this collection of Montaigne's essays in French. I almost understood the whole thing! . . . #montaigne #essais #book #antique #antiquebook #instabook #bookstagram #reading #french #notebooks #tea
