What I've been currently reading and just completed ? from Julie Klassen ~405 pages of pure pleasure reading, this suspenseful Regency set on the cliffs of Cornwall with an unexpected sweet romance for the spinster blue-stocking daughter of the Smallwood Boys' School tutor...
What I'm reading next ?Paris in July is Luanne Rice's
French Twist series ~ Let Them Eat Cake #1
Lexi Stuart is at a critical
crossroads. She’s done with college but still living at home, ready to launch a
career but unable to find a job, and solidly stalled between boyfriends.
When a lighthearted conversation in
French with the manager of her favourite bakery turns into a job offer, Lexi
accepts. But the actual glamour is minimal: the
pay is less than generous, her co-workers are skeptical, her bank account
remains vertically-challenged, and her parents are perpetually disappointed.
Her only comfort comes from the flirtatious baker she has her eye on–but even he may
not be who he seems to be!
So when a handsome young executive
dashes into the bakery to pick up his high profile company’s special order for
an important meeting–an order Lexi has flubbed– she loses her compulsion to
please. “What am I going to do?” he shouts. “Let them eat cake!” she fires back
with equal passion and a nod to Marie Antoinette. And then, something inside Lexi
clicks. Laissez la révolution commencer! Let the
revolution begin!
time to stop trying to fulfill everyone else’s expectations for her life...

As she settles into her new home in the village of Presque le Chateau to
study and work in a local bakery, her twenty-something optimism meets
resistance in the seemingly crusty nature of the people and culture around her.
Determined to gain her footing, she finds a church, meets a new friend, and
makes the acquaintance of a child named Celine–as well as Celine’s attractive,
widowed father, Philippe. Even Patricia, the gruff pastry cook, shows a softer
side as she mentors Lexi in the art of baking.

You're doing a fabulous job at finding free or charity books on the Paris in July theme. I like the sound of Bon Appetite - to study and work in a local bakery!! mmmm.
I've read a Luanne Rice story before, so that one definitely looks very intriguing!
I have so many books lined up on my Kindle app and I have not even started one yet! I gotta get cracking.
