August 2016 Update: The magnificent Louise of A Strong Belief in Wicker loves lists. She took my list and added some titles of her own which makes my definitive list perhaps not quite so definitive. Here are my list and Louise's list (my list in the first column and Louise's list in the second) alphabetized in a lovely Google doc, with titles I missed (good grief, I forgot The Three Musketeers!) in yellow. Here's Louise's list in full, with lots of links to her delightful reviews. You can vote for or add to books on this list on Goodreads.
What is the Sunday Salon? Imagine some university library's vast reading room. It's filled with people--students and faculty and strangers who've wandered in. They're seated at great oaken desks, books piled all around them,and they're all feverishly reading and jotting notes in their leather-bound journals as they go. Later they'll mill around the open dictionaries and compare their thoughts on the afternoon's literary intake....That's what happens at the Sunday Salon, except it's all virtual. Every Sunday the bloggers participating in that week's Salon get together--at their separate desks, in their own particular time zones--and read. And blog about their reading. And comment on one another's blogs. Think of it as an informal, weekly, mini read-a-thon, an excuse to put aside one's earthly responsibilities and fall into a good book. Click here to join the Salon.
The Sunday Post is a meme hosted by Kimba at Caffeinated Book Reviewer. It's a chance to share news and recap the past week.
Mailbox Monday was created by Marcia at The Printed Page. We share books that we found in our mailboxes last week.
It is now being hosted here.
Stacking the Shelves is a meme hosted by Tynga's Reviews in which you can share the books you've acquired.
It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? is where we share what we read this past week, what we hope to read this week…. and anything in between! This is a great way to plan out your reading week and see what others are currently reading as well… you never know where that next “must read” book will come from! I love being a part of this and I hope you do too! It's Monday! What Are You Reading? is now being hosted at The Book Date.
SO many great books I must read!! Thank you for helping me pass the time while healing :)
ReplyDeleteImpressive! I've actually read several of these...
ReplyDeleteHave fun at your writing workshop. I have read a few of the older ones of these. Come see my reading week here. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteMirette on the High Wire was one of my childhood favorites. I got it at the book fair as a little girl and I love that I can read it with my kids now!
ReplyDeleteI have a few more -- unless you don't count the Louvre as part of Paris. Examples:
ReplyDelete--Katie and the Mona Lisa by James Mayhew
--Molly Meets Mona and Friends: A Magical Day in the Museum by Gladys Walker and Denise Bennett Minnerly
Making a list like this is a good idea!

What a lot of children's books set in Paris. My great-niece hates France and says it's boring, because she's upset that we plan to move there, so I'll have to see if I can tempt her with any of these books. I've already given her the complete Madeleine set. She's 6.
ReplyDeleteThanks for playing along with Dreaming of France. Here’s my Dreaming of France meme
Wow! I need to check out these children's books! Here’s my Sunday Post!
ReplyDeleteHa! As I scrolled through the list I thought, "what about Madeleine?" Whew. Good catch!
ReplyDeleteAwesome collection. Im pleased to say I've read some of these but theres many here i still must find. Love this post!
ReplyDeleteI remember sitting on the floor in the University bookshop whilst my parents were looking for, I dare say, a book, and feeling the pressure to read as many books from the children's section as I possibly could in the impossibly short time that I would have. That was a long time ago, but your list, and the beautiful book covers, bring back fond memories.
ReplyDeleteWhat an absolutely sensational list. So many that I haven't heard of before! Quite a few that I've read though too. Just looking at this list is making my online shopping fingers itch... Paris-Chien and Secret Letters particularly.
