Welcome to this week's edition of Top Ten Tuesday which is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week's theme is Freebie/Throwback (Come up with a topic you’d like to do or go back and do an old topic you missed or just want to do again!). Given that today is the kick off for this year's Paris in July event (hosted by Emma at Words and Peace) how could I resist doing something Paris-y? My theme today is Books with the Eiffel Tower on the Cover.
That gives me another chance to share one of my favourite photos of the Eiffel Tower although deciding which one was a challenge!
Some are books that I have read earlier this year. Some are books that I found when I searched the word Eiffel on my blog. The reality is that I could probably do this topic again without too much difficulty.
A Secret Garden in Paris by Sophie Beaumont - I have really loved both of the books set in Paris by this author! I am looking forward to the next one which is out later this year. I will be sharing my review of this book at some point in July!
The Paris Bookshop for the Broken-Hearted by Rebecca Raisin - This author actually has a lot of books that I could have chosen for this theme. I think this is her best book yet! (My review)
The Anywhere Hotel by Gisele Stein - Unlike the rest of the books on this list, only a tiny part of this book is set in Paris. However, I love the cover, and the Tower is there so it counts for this theme!
The Dressmaker of Paris by Georgia Kaufmann - Haven't read this one yet, but I love the way that the Tower is represented here.
Die for Me by Amy Plum - This is an older book which might count as romantasy these days. It features revenants and numas who are fighting their age old battle in the modern streets of Paris. And the cover is gorgeous! (My review)
The Last Train from Paris by Juliet Greenwood - A WWII story that I read and loved a couple of years ago now. (My review)
Twenty One Nights in Paris by Leonie Mack - The first book I read by this author. Now she is an auto-buy. (My review)
Midnight in Paris by Gillian Harvey - I have loved all of Gillian Harvey's books set in different parts of France. I read this one earlier this year and loved it. I think it is my favourite of hers so far! (My review)
The President's Hat by Antoine Laurain - Another case where I had my pick of several covers! And it's nice to have an actual French author on the list as well!
The Little Paris Toyshop by Lauren Westwood - I will take any opportunity I can get to talk about this book which I read and loved a couple of years ago. (My review)
I am pretty sure that there might be another French themed Top Ten Tuesday this month, but I haven't quite decided just yet! Who am I kidding! Of course there will be! It's just a question of what it will be!
A great list of books. And I love the photo you included.

What a shame you can't join us this year Emily!
DeleteWow, what a fun post!!! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThanks Cindy!
DeleteFunny enough, I was going to do a TTT list today about landmarks on book covers, but most of the ones I found were of the Eiffel Tower and I wanted more variety, so I bagged the idea. I'm glad you did it, though! Fun.
ReplyDeleteHappy TTT!
Now that's an interesting challenge. Is it possible to do a TTT list of landmarks on covers, excluding the Eiffel Tower? I don't know, but I might take a look and see.
DeleteThis is a cool idea! I think I could find 10! Carol @ ReadingLadies
ReplyDeleteIt is very much shorthand for this book is set in Paris right!
DeleteI love the variety, and the clever cover for the dressmaker! Great post, thanks
ReplyDeleteIt is such a clever cover for The Dressmaker!
DeleteThe Paris Library was the first book coming to mind.

There are still so many more out there Laurie!
DeleteI love the Paris theme posts! I really have to join in on Paris in July some time.
ReplyDeleteCould this year be the year Yvonne? Even just for one or two posts.
DeleteYou have really found the most beautiful covers on books about Paris. I have only read The President's Hat and loved it. I am sure the others are also interesting, and I will look for some of them.
ReplyDeleteThe President's Hat was a lot of fun!
DeleteNow I want to do Paris in July as well (between yours and Deb's lists, I have enough for a couple of Julys!).. my ttt is here. -https://www.ladyinreadwrites.com/stuck-in-the-middle-10-great-books-with-middle-in-the-title/
