Since traveling is a no-no right now, and escaping into a book is a great way to get out of your head, I am going to be working on some book round ups in the coming weeks. I LOVE books set in France. I\u2019ve never been there, but authors have a wonderful way of describing it that makes me want to hop on a jet and eat a croissant under the Eiffel tower. If you\u2019re like me and don\u2019t get the chance to travel much, but have a love affair with all things French- this book round up: Books for Francophiles, might be just for you!<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve tried to gather a nice selection of both fiction and non fiction. As well as different time periods. Paris in the 20\u2019s would be my ideal- but these are all lovely selections if you\u2019re looking for your next read and would love a little nod to France.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m linking them all here to my Amazon page in case you need help finding them. Or put them on hold at your local library and save some $$$. These are all backlist titles I think, so you should be able to get your hands on them pretty easily.<\/p>\n

\"Books-for-Francophiles\"<\/figure>\n

Mastering the Art of French Eating<\/a>\u00a0is a great choice if you love French food. Ann Mah tells the stories behind the food, learns how to make it, and even includes the recipes! I am definitely going to have to give one or 2 of them a try.<\/p>\n

Little French Bistro<\/a>\u00a0will transport you to a small, coastal French town and has even more food. It\u2019s about hope and self discovery and all that jazz. The story is okay- but the setting is what I loved most.<\/p>\n

The Provence Cure for the Brokenhearted<\/a>\u00a0is about family and secrets. It has love and regret, and a ramshackle house in the South of France. A curl up with some hot tea in front of the fireplace, kinda read.<\/p>\n

Longing for Paris<\/a>\u00a0is a little bit of a role reversal. It\u2019s about longing for all of the things Paris has to offer- which I totally relate to. But, also finding contentment where you are. If you\u2019re longing for adventure, but need a reminder to make your own, this is a good one for you!<\/p>\n

I bought\u00a0The Bird Market of Paris<\/a>\u2013 but haven\u2019t read it yet! But, I had to include it in this roundup because, Paris and animals. Also, it\u2019s a memoir, which I\u2019ve really been enjoying lately. Read it and let me know what you think!<\/p>\n

The Room on Rue Amelie<\/a>\u00a0was one of my\u00a0favorite reads last year-<\/a>\u00a0and also made me fall into an absolute Kristin Harmel reading hole. I am in love with everything I\u2019ve read from her! If you love historical fiction- especially set during WWII (and FRANCE!) give this one a read.<\/p>\n

The Paris Wife<\/a>\u00a0was really the first book that made me jump headfirst into the Historical Fiction pond. It was a Book Club pick years ago- and I really enjoyed it. We can all agree that Hemingway was both an amazing writer, and a little big of a d-bag. But, it makes for a good story! (I also enjoyed\u00a0Love and Ruin<\/a>\u00a0by her, about Hemingway and Martha Gellhorn!)<\/p>\n

Last but not least, I chose\u00a0Your Second Life Begins When You Realize You Only Have One<\/a>. This is a fun, really quick read- originally translated from France, and set there. That\u2019s a win\/win for me! You can read it in one or 2 sittings and it\u2019s a little out there, but charming!<\/p>\n

I hope my Books for Francophiles round up helps you escape for just a little while! What other book round ups would you like to see from me?<\/p>\n
