French Book Club: Ten 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 not wish to overindulge during summer and may choose to read only one book, while others may want to do nothing but read, read, read!”
So... we offer you a choice to match your summer lifestyle. Jacqueline Dubois Pasquier is taking a summer break and reading books other than from this list. I’ll be reading a selection from this list. And you? The choice is yours, read one, or read many…
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.
Read Jacqueline’s list and article and start to order your book/s. Discussion in our Private Facebook Book Club Group and our Book Club on Substack will open soon - and chat channels will also open. Also, a form will be posted, so you can register your interest in reading with us.
