Every once in a while, I am up for a good memoir. When I heard that one of my favorite romance novel authors was publishing one, I immediately added it to my to be read shelf. Eloisa writes Paris in Love in short paragraph like status and collects them seemingly chronologically to tell the story of...
Not sure what I was expecting with this book but whatever it was I didn't get it. This isn't really a book or memoir at all, rather, this is a copy and paste from her facebook blog over a year of living in Paris. For a Shakespeare professor I was expecting some sort of grand adventure.Not that at al...

"Yet virtually the only writing I did was on Facebook, where I created something of an online chronicle, mirroring it in even more concise form on Twitter" - okay. Alarm bells rings in my head.This memoir feels underwhelming. A lot of afterthoughts/observations passed off as insightful writing. Almo...
Most of us just can’t travel to Paris every summer. This would be a sad thing, a tragic thing, really, if it weren’t for marvelous books like these that take us to Paris anyway, saving us $1213 (price of an airline ticket to Paris minus the cost of this book) and sixteen hours on plane.Paris in Love...
