Now, I have to apologise, because my work is consuming so much more of my time that I like, it means that i haven't had time to visit and comment on everyones blogs - but I have been to some 30 something posts in the past few days and I'm impressed. So I'm going to wrap up with a quick summary of some of the different posts we've seen, I'll make some recommendations for posts that you must check out, and of course, I like to choose a prize winner...

The diversity of posts for Paris in July is quite outstanding- so many different approaches, and so many aspects of Paris to highlight. I'm devoting more and more time to it- I'm sure we all are! Posts about two memoirs, toys and the tour from me this week.

I'm loving reading everyone's posts, and thank you for the 'highly recommended' for the pet cemetery post.
I've got really behind this month and only just started my Paris in July reading, if only life wouldn't get in the way!
Thanks for keeping track all of the interesting posts on France. I'm lovin it - oh, that's McDonalds, not France!
Are we leaving our links on this post for this week? If yes, I have a post about some bookish places in Paris

Hi Tamara,
Thank you so much for mentioning my post and recommending it to your readers! The Bea's Knees is a very new blog and your encouragement and support was really very valuable.
Loved your other recommendations too, you made it much easier for me to prioritise my Paris in July readings.Following you now!
If you liked The Bea's Knees, do visit again and follow! Thank you!
Hi Marg, Yes, please leave links to you new posts here. Karen and I will make sure we double check both blogs for new postings..
Another review- Proust's Overcoat
http://astrongbeliefinwicker.blogspot.com.au/2012/07/prousts-overcoat.html
Thanks for the special mention of my movie review. This week, I'm searching for Van Gogh in France. Van Gogh was a Dutch painter who thrived when he moved to Arles in Southern France. I've reposted an excerpt of my travelogue, with photos of Arles paired up with Van Gogh's paintings.
Ari, thanks for that. I was in Arles last year and you've reminded me I could post some of those photo's too.. Its a small world.
I have a review up and a post about French Favorites. Here are the links:

Since this is my first year doing Paris in July, I'm not sure where I'm supposed to post the links to my blog entries. I left comments on BookBath for two of them. Today I wrote another and will leave the link here.

I'm loving Paris in July this year. I did before, but I've been able to visit more spots this time and love them all! Still more to visit -- Some, like me, are changing posts regularly so lots to catch up on! Merci beaucoup for the mention! (And I'm sorry Cadel had a bad day, but looks like today he made up a couple of spots!)
Thanks to your recommendations, I just discovered "inkyfoot" blog. WOW what great pictures for the Paris in July Challenge. Thanks.
Today I have shared a recipe for Poulet Cocotte Grandmere!

Thanks for putting my post on the list. The book I reviewed was The Paris Enigma (Death of a Detective...) but my blog's name is 'a hot cup of PLEASURE' and not 'a hot cup of SOMETHING' as you have stated which frankly sounds downright dismissive.
Congratulations to Team Sky, Bradley Wiggins and Chris Froome. The British are happy today and to be able to go to Paris for the weekend. A beautiful Stage 20 in Paris.
OOPS. Congratulations to the French riders -Thomas Voeckler from Alsace-Lorraine region-king of the mountains and the stage winners from France. What a fun Paris in July challenge and Tour de France. Now I can get back to my life (a daughter's wedding) until next year.
Here is my review of Until I Die by Amy Plum - a YA paranormal set in Paris

I finally got my first post up! Thanks for sharing all of these posts. I'll have to go check them out.
