I missed all of these!
ReplyDeleteYou need to get busy! :-)
DeleteI've read a few of these - mainly of the picture book variety, but also a few of the John Baxter titles. Many others are in the house waiting their turn.
ReplyDeleteBut of course they are.
DeleteI love the way you formatted your list into a table! Thanks for stopping by my TTT!
ReplyDeleteI haven't read any of these, but they don't really seem like my kind of read! I am glad you liked them though :-) happy reading
ReplyDeleteI haven't read any of these, but would very much like to. Paris is such a magical place. Great list this week!
ReplyDeleteYes, magical.
DeleteI consider myself a Francophile, but I have never heard of these! Merci!!
ReplyDeleteThey are a little obscure, I suppose.
Deleteamazingly enough, I have only read 5 of these, though I have heard about 22 of them. Did you see we have a brand new on on France Book Tours: https://francebooktours.com/2016/07/05/alexis-ragougneau-on-tour-the-madonna-of-notre-dame/
ReplyDeleteIf anyone knew these, I would think it would be you.
DeleteThanks for sharing the new tour.
I love the French look of your banner!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Emma. I'm quite proud of it.
DeleteI've never heard of any of these, but I'll definitely be checking a few out ASAP! Great list! :D
ReplyDeleteHere are my Top Ten!
I really enjoyed Paris Is Always A Good Idea! My TTT
ReplyDeleteI haven't read a single one. How could I have missed them ALL? (wails) Thank you for making certain that I know now!
ReplyDeleteWith only 2 ratings for 'But you are in France, Madame', I definitely qualify for the under 2000 list! Happy to send an Epub to you for your holiday reading if you would like.
