January 1, 2013 – December 31, 2013
In 2013, I plan to always have a book related to France on my currently-reading list. So in case you would like to read a few books related to France, here are the details:
WHAT TOPIC?
Any book related to France:
- it can be set in France,
- written by a French author,
- written in French (not Canadian French),
- about a French theme: French cuisine (how the French influenced American cuisine is accepted for instance), French fashion, etc.
You can contact me if you are looking for titles. If you are a Goodreads member, you can access my France shelf.
WHAT GENRE?
All the genres are accepted:
- nonfiction
- fiction
- historical fiction
- mystery, etc.
WHAT MEDIA?
All medias are accepted:
- paper
- graphic (novel or non-fiction)
- ebook
- audiobook
HOW MANY BOOKS?
- LEVEL 1, “un peu” = 3 books (one per quarter for instance)
- LEVEL 2, “beaucoup”= 6 books
- LEVEL 3, “passionnément” = 12 books (one/month, for instance)
- LEVEL 4, “à la folie”= 52 books (one/week, for instance)
Just an explanation on the 4 levels:
In France, we have a silly funny game:
when girls tell fortunes by pulling the petals off daisies, they say for instance, il m’aime un peu, beaucoup, passionnément, à la folie. What comes up on the last petal is supposed to reveal to what degree the boyfriend loves them!
