Books on France 2013 Reading Challenge

Posted on November 15, 2012 by WordsAndPeace

BOOKS ON FRANCE
READING CHALLENGE
Jan 1- Dec 31, 2013

In 2013, I plan to always have a book related to France on my currently-reading list. So in case you would like to read a few books related to France, here are the details:

WHAT TOPIC?

Any book related to France:

it can be set in France,
written by a French author,
written in French (not Canadian French), by authors from any country
about a French theme: French cuisine (how the French influenced American cuisine is accepted for instance), French fashion, etc.
it can be a book you read also for another challenge

You can contact me if you are looking for titles. Here is my own list for 2013. If you are a Goodreads member, you can access my France shelf.

WHAT GENRE?

All the genres are accepted:

nonfiction
fiction
historical fiction
mystery, etc

WHAT MEDIA?

All medias are accepted:

paper
graphic (novel or non-fiction)
ebook
audiobook

HOW MANY BOOKS?

LEVEL 1, “un peu” = 3 books (one per quarter for instance)
LEVEL 2, “beaucoup”= 6 books
LEVEL 3, “passionnément” = 12 books (one/month, for instance)
LEVEL 4, “à la folie”= 52 books (one/week, for instance)

Just an explanation on the 4 levels:

In France, we have a silly funny game:
when girls tell fortunes by pulling the petals off daisies, they say for instance, il m’aime un peu, beaucoup, passionnément, à la folie. What comes up on the last petal is supposed to reveal to what degree the boyfriend loves a girl: a bit, a lot, passionately, or he is maddeningly in love with her!

AND THERE WILL BE A GIVEAWAY
AT THE END OF 2013:
BE SURE TO FINISH YOUR CHALLENGE
TO GET A CHANCE TO WIN 1 BOOK!

I’d love to join in but I don’t know what I’ll be reading. hmmmn… whats your take on short story collections by french authors? also do you know of any good mystery series set in France? I was planning on reading more mysteries in 2013. Nothing too dark and gritty though.

  For French stories, I would recommend Maupassant [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Short_stories_by_Guy_de_Maupassant].
  there’s an interesting bilingual volume of short stories by several French authors: http://www.amazon.com/French-Short-Stories-Nouvelles-Francaises/dp/0140023852.
  another such collection would be The Oxford Book of French short stories: http://www.amazon.com/Oxford-French-Short-Stories-Books/dp/019958317X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1353170087&sr=8-1&keywords=oxford+book+of+french+short+stories.
  these 2 examples could be a neat way of being acquainted to several French authors through one book.
  
  or the famous Perrault’s Fairy Tales: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/630879.Perrault_s_Fairy_Tales
  
  As for mystery series set in France, I have these on my Goodreads TBR – you can see these titles even if you are not a Goodreads member:
  – http://www.goodreads.com/series/59489-aimee-leduc-investigations: this is a series of a murder in each famous Paris area
  – http://www.goodreads.com/series/43807-languedoc-trilogy
  – http://www.goodreads.com/series/82290-a-verlaque-and-bonnet-mystery
  – http://www.goodreads.com/series/88544-sam-levitt
  
  let me know if you need more!, or things in French

You have certainly challenged us! I will start with Level 3 “passionnement” and strive for Level 4! I so enjoy your blog and a number of others, my daughters also suggested starting a blog. Sure, in a few years after I learn the vocabulary-RSS, Mr. Linkys, memes, etc. I could learn French before I learn this lingo.

Do we need to commit to the total now? I’ll probably go for 12 at least. I have a couple on my shelf waiting to be read. Darn, I just finished Peaches for Father Francis by Joanne Harris. TBR include The Flaneur by Edmund White; The Most Beautiful Walk in the World by John Baxter; The Hundred Foot Journey by Richard C. Morais; Le Road Trip by Vivian Swift; and my husband has A Foreign Country by Charles Cumming which has a picture of the Eiffel Tower on it, partially set in Paris (this looks like one of those action/adventure mysteries for anyone who likes those). I’m sure I’ll find plenty more too.

    WordsandPeace,
    Not sure if it’s a good thing or not for not knowing about Catherine De Medici. Bad news means I am reading a book which no one has heard about it. 😀
    Because I found Catherine De Medici as a historical character fascinating, I thought it would make sense to know more about her through the eyes of Balzac.
