Books Read in December, 2024
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!)

View PostGifts of the Season
In which I wish you all the gifts of the season . . . and tell you of a special gift from a new reader. . . and encourage you to see the Gift of You 😉 I’d love you to stop by when you have a minute . . . meanwhile, All the Best of the Festive Season!

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.
