Imagine the Lives of Artists at the Musée de Montmartre
English Bookshops in Paris
Paris is a city of bookshops, but is even spoiled for English bookshops. It seems despite the heyday of the writers of the left bank being long over, If the number of English bookshops is anything to go by, Paris remains a firm global hub of literature. As a bookworm, or in French, rat de bibliotheque (library rat), this pleases me greatly. Are you looking for English books in Paris? Here’s where you need to go.
Montmartre Street Art

Books to Read if You're Going to Japan
What do you think of first
when someone mentions Japan? Is it Mount Fuji, the ‘Hello Kitty’ culture, manga,
the food? (Hmmm, sushi, yum!) The years Japan spent closed to the world
preserved its traditions and behaviours making it a very unique and
interesting country. Fortunately, especially while travel is restricted, the works of many Japanese authors have been
translated into other languages, making them accessible to the non-Japanese audience, and providing a fascinating window into this world.
Books to Read if You're Going to France
One of the world’s most
visited countries, the wealth of literature about life in France comes as no
surprise. With so many people jotting down their take on the country, there
really is something for everyone. Memoirs, tick. Historical fiction,
absolutely. There’s loads of non-fiction for those wanting to learn more about
France too, and foodie books, bien sur. What a pleasure for Francophiles the
world over!
