I recently shared the start of my Parisian book collection, but what that picture didn't tell you is that there are a good 50 books (ok, maybe not quite) that are still on my list to get. Good thing I have a birthday in a couple weeks, right?! I narrowed my list down to 40, which I'm sharing below.
