2. French Book Club: 10 Summer 2024 Reading Suggestions
Summer 2024 Reading: The MyFrenchLife™️ French Book Club is, by exception, offering a varied format for this reading period.
Some may wish to indulge during summer and do nothing but read, read, read and others may choose to read only one book!
We offer you a choice to match your summer lifestyle.
Read Jacqueline’s list and article, then it’s time to order your book/s. To get all the detail←(read here for the list of books and more)
Toward the end of summer, at the culmination of this reading period, we will hold an online EVENT, where we'll all get to present 'our book/s' which will be a great way to discover other French books. I always look forward to these events.
Discussion in our Private Facebook Book Club Group and our Book Club on Substack will open soon - and chat channels will also open.
***Also, here is a form← to complete if you’ll be reading with us, then you’ll be sure to be notified about what’s happening, events, chat, and more.
