Almost caught up with my Reading posts for 2025, here’s What I Read in November. It’s a short list this month: a mix of literary fiction, Paris noir, period fiction. Of the four books, there are two in English, an Italian and a French one (the latter two both translated to English. Hope you’ll click through and join the bookchat!

Two months of Books I read (and saw) while travelling in October and November. An Italian “giallo” read in Rome, a French “roman policier” in French-speaking Marrakech, and in English, a couple of mysteries, a memoir about life in Paris, a coming-of-age romance set in Paris, and a Women’s Prize-shortlisted novel.

That’s a deceptive photo heading this post. . . those are books my husband and I bought ourselves for Christmas, and you’ll have to wait at least a month before they start showing up here. But I have a full slate of books I read in December — as usual, these range across the genres: literary fiction to memoir to popular genre fiction, book in translation, children’s novel, historical fiction. . . it’s all here. Hope you’ll find something that appeals and that you’ll leave us a comment about a book or two you’ve liked (or not) lately. Click through to join in! Happy Reading!
