Where do I start? As someone who loves reading, I keep a list of books I want to read on my phone. I add books to the list based on reviews and personal recommendations. If I’m in a bookshop, I might see a book that catches my eye. When I travel, I prefer to read books on an electronic reader, which leads to more suggestions based on my previous reading choices.
My current reading list has reduced slightly, thanks to Christmas!
- None of this is true – Lisa Jewell
- Yellowface – Rebecca F. Kuang
- Berserker – Adrian Edmondson
- Went to London ,Took the Dog – Nina Stibbe
- Girl, Woman, Other – Bernadine Evaristo
- The Favour – Nicci French
- Broken Light – Joanne Harris
- The Running Grave – Robert Galbraith
- My Sister, the Serial Killer – Oyinkan Braithwaite
- Kate Atkinson – Normal Rules Don’t Apply
Please let me know if you have any suggestions for books to add to my list. Thanks!

I took a look at my bookshelves recently and realised there were a lot of books which I’d not read – they had sat there, collecting dust! So I decided to pick out the ones which appealed and actually read them! I do love the little book cases in the villages close to us in Brittany where you can leave a book or two for others to read, as well as borrow some! Currently reading “Cider with Roadies” by Stuart Marconie and “Carnet d’un Moine Errant” by Matthieu Ricard.

You reminded me that I’ve become a bit lazy about reading in French. I really need to make more effort. Thanks for your comment!

Can you tell I’ve been having a read of your blog (as well as my books)??!! It’s great! Sorry – due to my ongoing lack of 4G, and general internet problems, I have also managed to reply anonymously on your most recent post! BW Alison

Yes, I can – thank you so much! When I started writing my blog, it focused on our search for a house in France and all things French. Since then I’ve also written about other travels and ‘lifestyle’! My blog is my creative outlet and it has evolved over the years. I love connecting with other bloggers so many thanks for reading and commenting 😊
