Word Scribbler Reading Challenge - Week 17 - A book set in your favourite place


Week 17 of my 52 book reading challenge (1 book per week for a year) is A book set in your favourite place. My favourite place is Paris :) Can anyone recommend books set in Paris? Where is your favourite place?

My chosen book this week is a romance novel, Paris for One by Jojo Moyes.



Book blurb - Paris for One by Jojo Moyes

Bestselling author Jojo Moyes brings us a charming and heart-warming short story in association with Quick Reads.


Nell is twenty-six and has never been to Paris. She has never even been on a weekend away with her boyfriend. Everyone knows she is just not the adventurous type.

But, when her boyfriend doesn't turn up for their romantic mini-break, Nell has the chance to prove everyone wrong.

Alone in Paris, Nell meets the mysterious moped-riding Fabien and his group of carefree friends. Could this turn out to be the most adventurous weekend of her life?
