Back from my travels, and I’m almost back on track with my book posts. For December, a French novel and an Italian “giallo” (crime novel); in English, some literary fiction, a couple of mysteries, and a British-French journalist’s about his 20 years in Paris. And, of course, the comments will soon be filled with reader’s generous suggestions about books they’ve discovered. Click through to read (and maybe add your own contributions, thank you!)

Two months of Books I read (and saw) while travelling in October and November. An Italian “giallo” read in Rome, a French “roman policier” in French-speaking Marrakech, and in English, a couple of mysteries, a memoir about life in Paris, a coming-of-age romance set in Paris, and a Women’s Prize-shortlisted novel.

I’m having trouble maintaining my reading journal while travelling. But I’m still reading and I still want to make room for our bookchats. So I’ve posted a list of what I’ve read since I left home, along with a few notes — and some photos to please all you bibliophiles. Click through to see and read.
