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.

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.

I read more than usual in June, and my list includes several books I’m recommending highly. I hope you’ll find something here to add to your list — and perhaps you’ll join the conversation and make a few suggestions yourself.

My May reading: Mystery, Literary Fiction (American women in 1960s Vietnam; Vietnamese refugees in late 70s; a marriage foundering during an ex-pat year in Brazil; dystopia in Dublin); Ruth Reichl memoir. It’s all here — maybe you’ll find something you’ll want to read as well. . .
