How much money does it take to quit your job? Exhausted and on the verge of burnout, Janice posed this question to herself as she doodled on a notepad at her desk. She started a blog to record how she would answer this question. With a little math and a lot of determination, Janice cut back, saved up, and bought herself two years of freedom in Europe. She skipped town and traveled with nothing more than a suitcase and a small set of watercolors. Along the way, she painted letters about her travels and mailed them to friends. A few days into her stop in Paris, Janice meets Christophe and embarks on a whirlwind Paris romance--and soon realizes that she can't ever return to the world of twelve-hour workdays and greasy corporate lingo she left behind. But her dwindling savings force her to find a way to fund her dreams again. So Janice turns to her three loves--words, art, and Christophe--to figure out a way to make her happily-ever-after in Paris last forever.Janice is originally from Canada. She called California her home for a decade, then moved to the land of stinky cheese and lippy waiters. Ooh la la. Author website: janicemacleod.com

Think MWF Seeking BFF (trying to make friends), Some Nerve (overcoming your fears), The Happiness Project (trying...
