How the French Invented Love: Nine Hundred Years of Passion and Romance | 
Book haul from Dollar Tree (it was nearby an errand I had to run!). The tagged book and the To the Letter has lots of literary references. Middle book has a Man Booker prize finalist sticker on it.
Please let me not have to go anywhere for the next couple years so I can catch up on my TBR and avoid adding more to it 😅😂!!
Went to the #dollartree I visited a couple weeks ago, and different books were there! Walked away with these beauties! #bookhaul
@Puredragonstar I found a copy of Alias Hook there! It was stuck in the far back of the shelving, so I‘m glad I could find a copy for you. Send me your mailing address, and I‘ll send it out to you by the end of next week. My email address is my Litsy handle at gmail.com. So happy I found one!
Another store tomorrow!
My inner Francophile is so pleased with this one.
pickA fascinating read that is part literary criticism, part anthropological study. Of course the focus on the "invention" of romantic concepts is largely confined to the beginning of the book; subsequent chapters deal with how later authors and generations build on or challenge early French ideas of romance. If you're interested in French lit (like me), prepare for your TBR to get longer!
