Paris in Love: A Memoir
by Eloisa James

Paris in Love (3/28/2012)

I liked this book~a lot. The author transported me to Paris. I will never go there in person but reading this book almost made me smell the French food, yummy. She has a talent for description. The middle of the book got a little travelogish, no matter, I loved it all. …more

by Siri Hustvedt

The summer without men (4/14/2011)

This book is much to deep for me. I need several more years of education to understand it. Most of the time I had to reread a few pages to get back on track. I have some educated children and I will pass this book to them. They then can explain it to me.
