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.

    Very nice! I failed at this topic as I did not have many titles with nationalities in them! I think I found 2, so I went rogue with a different topic this time around! Lol.


    Here's my TTT

    Have a GREAT day!

    Ah, the joy of French cheese. So many memories are kindled even thinking about it. When we were last in France and stayed with friends for a couple of nights, we would end dinner with figs picked fresh from their garden and cheese. It was heavenly.

    I was just thinking I could pretty much do an entire post on books with the word French in the title. Will save it for Paris in July next year!

    Why did I have the feeling you were going to use that twist? I almost did, and then thought you were doing it, so that was enough, lol.
    I almost used A Very French Christmas, but then decided to use that same series for Russian: https://wordsandpeace.com/2026/09/01/top-ten-books-with-nationalities-in-the-title/

    This is a fun take on the topic! Bread and cheese are two of my favorite things.

    Interesting that you did not choose any books that were written by French authors — I think all on your list were originally written in English. I wonder what a French person would choose. I tried to find a list of best=sellers in France and it looked a if there was very little overlap, but maybe I missed something.
    Nice topic… best, mae at maefood.blogpot.com

    Very nice, Deb! I thought you would likely pick 'French' books as well. ;-)

    "French" is definitely a nationality I associate with you, Deb! Not at all surprised to see this list :)

    Happy TTT!

    If I ever decided to cook French food, Simple French Food, if it’s a cookbook, would be the one for me.
