I’m looking forward to the cocktails Nancy!
Great covers for your three books too – so many Aust covers are busy pretty at the moment – the B&W photos are a welcome relief.
I just started the first book….simple title: Une amie de la famille…but I just discovered how it relates to the story…wow! The French have a certain ‘flair’ in their writing that is unique.
Cocktail: Kir Royal…so easy with some crème de cassis and white wine. We all have a 1/2 bottle of white wine lingering in the fridge….just add some CdC and voilà! See my link for the drink in the beginning of the blogpost!
Can’t wait!
So glad you’re joining this year Nancy. Its always fun to see what diversity there is amongst reading lists
Good to be back reading #Paris In July!
Last year I had to bow out b/c of covid…I just could not concentrate on my reading.
Happily we are a year further and, at least in The Netherlands, life feels like it is back to normal. Let’s see how long that lasts! I have been reading French again…but after a long year of no french books…it was slow going. I hope it is just like riding a bike…once you learn the basic vocabulary then keep on pedaling. No French cooking for me this year…too many pandemic pounds to loose!
I’m looking forward to all the Parisian adventures next month.
My Paris in July post.
Thank you so much for your comment and link to your blogpost!
It is just wonderful to escape into Paris…or anything French these days.
Unfortunately “Les Bleus” were outclassed in European Championship by Switzerland…but wow what a game and HUGE upset!
Movies: loved your list and would add 2 films I will watch this week: “J’Accuse” (Roman Polanski) and L’Amant (great book by Marguerite Duras)
Books: Not a fan om Maigret….I’m selecting a modern writer of CF/thrillers Franck Thilliez (see Google)
Hope to read many of your blogposts in July!
So true. As I said on my post, it’s lovely to escape anywhere. I would love Amsterdam and Brussels at the moment because that*s where my sons live. But I would take the opportunity to go to Paris, as well. I love that city.
I’m not much into football, so usually I cheer for the smaller countries. LOL But yes, I guess they all have to wear mourning clothes now. As they do in my country, Germany, since yesterday. Well, there are worse things.
Thank you for the suggestions. Always lovely to see. I wouldn’t say I’m a fan of crime stories overall but we watched the Maigret adaptations with Rowan Atkinson and absolutely loved them. He is the opposite of Mr. Bean. His non-funny films show even more what a fantastic actor he is.
And I*m looking forward to yours, as well. Thanks.
