# 1 - Read 30 books - Paris in Love by Eloisa James (book 9)

This book was mentioned at the end of "The Last Time I Saw You" so I decided to read.  It's a memoir about the author's year in Paris with her family.  Her and her husband are both university professors and were able to take sabbatical for a year.  They packed what they could and sold everything else.  They shipped themselves and their school aged children to Paris where she hoped they could slow down and get back to what mattered.

The book is mostly written in short paragraphs regarding her day and random thoughts.  A lot of it had to do with food and her children's adjustment to French schools.  I loved it.  I've never been to Paris and it had never really crossed my mind to visit.  But after reading this book, I think it would be fun and romantic and lovely to - I'll put it on my bucket list.

It's a quick and entertaining read.  I highly suggest you read it too.  Learn more or buy it here.
