My Favorite Books Set in Paris

Paris to the Moon by Adam Gopnik

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. Each Tuesday That Artsy Reader Girl assigns a topic and then post her top ten list that fits that topic. You’re more than welcome to join her and create your own top ten (or 2, 5, 20, etc.) list as well. Feel free to put a unique spin on the topic to make it work for you! Please link back to That Artsy Reader Girl in your own post so that others know where to find more information.

    Ooh nice picks! Loved Madeline as a kid! It's been ages since I read The Count, so I nearly forgot that took place in Paris or partially, maybe. Lol. I've a few retelling/inspiration books that I need to read still for that one! Great picks!


    Here's my Tuesday Post

    Have a GREAT day!

    I read “The Count of Monte Cristi” way, way back. Other than this one classic I have not read any of the other titles. I will hide in the corner in shame!

    Nice list, Deb! I haven't read any of these, but I'm familiar with several. Thanks for sharing.

    I've been on a bit of an Edith Wharton kick lately, so I just added The Custom of the Country to my Goodreads TBR. I had never heard of it!

    Monte Cristo is such an intimidating chonkster but I'm determined to read it one day!

    I haven't read any of these, but I have been reading the Aimee Leduc series by Cara Black, which are set in Paris.

    Here is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thank you!
