Paris in July..... some goals

This is a happy french memory for me...
I might post something on my stay here in 2002

Thank you for joining us in this years Paris in July blogging event. Karen reminded me that this is our 10th anniversary... so Happy Birthday Paris in July!!  Having recieved so much encouragement, I've been compiling my list of things I hope to do for my virtual journey to Paris, France this year.
  1. Learn something new about life in France.... 
  2. Visit some of the museums of France virtually... so much easier to do these days
  3. Maybe blog in french a little.... 
  4. I have a reading list, and some new French authors to learn about
  5. Id like to listen to some current french music too
  6. I will also do something for le quatorze juillet.. this looks achievable
 So here's a glimpse of my reading choices...

    I have read both Gigi, hard not to have the movie in mind when reading, and set in French Colonial Vietnam, the Lover, a very good work, probably among best of French colonial literature.

    May I suggest a few writers that perhaps may interest you?
    I've been reading French books since 2012 and a few have really impressed me.
    They are not 'literary diamonds' but linger in my memory (all books are in English)
    A Secret P. Gimbert
    Charlotte - D. Foenkinos
    Any thriler by P. Lemaitre (enjoyed him more than Vargas)
    Classic 'Vipers' Tangle (F. Mauriac)
    this 'gem' Nothing Holds Back the Night (Delphine de Vigan)
    I will follow your 'Paris in July'....looks like fun!
