    After being a nomad for three years, I realized that there were so many things I had given up. When I first moved back to Chicago, I didn’t have much except for a few pieces of furniture and a couple of boxes of my belongings. I gave away a lot of my books before I left because I wanted them to be enjoyed by others while I was gone and too busy to appreciate them. I have slowly started to build a book collection again. These are all my favorite Paris books... there are many more that will be added to this grand collection, but this a good start.

  1. I love books about people lives in Paris and France. Currently finishing up "The Only Street in Paris, life on Rue des Martyres". I enjoy it a lot. Now I can’t wait to walk the street.

    • Yes, I have so many on my reading list I need to jump into. I haven’t heard of the book you are reading but love rue des martyrs so I will have to look it up. Thanks for the suggestion! xo

  2. I have many of the same books and LOVE them!! Congrats on restarting your collection! Do you mind sharing the brand/maker for the bookends? They are fabulous!

    • Yes!! Thank you so much! Let me know if you have any favorites. I am dying to dig into a good book right now and have not sat down to read one in ages. The bookends are from anthropologie! I snagged them a few weeks ago at the tag sale. See if you can grab them online! xo

      • Thanks, I’ll check!! I really enjoy rereading The Paris Journal and The Sweet Life in Paris. Both are fun snippets of day-to-day life in Paris. I’m currently working my way through Delicious Days in Paris and reliving my own time living in Le Marais!

        • lovely! I just purchased delicious days in paris and Jane will be writing a post on here soon too! stay tuned! I hope you are enjoying the book. So happy to hear you are reading it too!! xo

    • Holly! Yes I love "Paris, my sweet" I have plans to meet Amy Thomas in NYC next month. Thank you so much!!! I really appreciate your book recommendation. If you have any other favorites feel free to add and I will put this on the list 🙂
