Words And Peace 
I’ve had Bonjour Kale on my tbr for a while for my Foodies Read link up. The Sweet Life in Paris by David Lebovitz, Paris in Love by Eloisa James, and The Piano Shop on the Left Bank are all ones I’ve enjoyed.

I have read those, except The Piano Shop on the Left Bank, but it’s waiting for me on my shelf! Thanks for stopping by

I am very fascinated by France myself but haven’t read any (much) nonfiction on the topic. The exception is MOVEABLE FEAST by Hemingway which really reads more like historical text today. My topic this week is on mental illness: Nonfiction November-3

I’m ashamed to say I have not read it yet!! BUT it’s on my list of classics to read before end of 2020, and it could possibly be chosen for the Classics Spin: https://wordsandpeace.com/2017/11/08/the-classics-club-the-classics-spin-16/
I just went and added a book related to your impressive list

The Madeleine Project sounds great – and it’s nonfiction in translation to boot! Definitely adding that to my to read list.

and it’s definitely the most unique book I have read this year – because of the format as well

Nice list – a visit to France is always fun, even if it’s only through books! Ha – I’m too much of a butterfly to be an expert on any subject, but I suppose since I’ve been reading so much about the Russian Revolution this year, that would have to be the nearest I get…
LikeLike
yes, absolutely, I was very impressed by your books on the topic. I’m French, but actually Russian Orthodox by religion. Yesterday, we celebrated the 100th anniversary of the death (killed at a peace walk) of the very first priest during the Revolution. The final number of victims is staggering

I’ve heard of The Madeline Project and do think it sounds like a fascinating memoir-type book. Haven’t heard of some of the others so I’ll have to take a look at those!

Oh I love these! I haven’t read a lot of nonfiction that takes place in France, but I did love Bringing Up Bebe, which I read after having my first child. It’s about how children raised in Paris are different from American children and it gives tips and tricks to parents. It was great!
LikeLike
yes, I have read about this book!

the Kale book is back I see. You are determined to get me eating that stuff aren’t you!

I’ll find something else I think to keep me healthy rather than a veg that not many years ago was used to feed cattle

hilarious! Though centuries before, it was a common veggie
