The Frenchy Contest (Celebrating 75 Followers !)



To celebrate the fact that my blog reached 75 Followers (yay !), 100 posts and 2000 visits, I decided it was time to thank all of you out there who regularly take a few minutes of their time to read what I write. I mean, how amazing is it to be heard by people who live an ocean (or a sea, or many countries) away from me ?! Thank you everyone for making blogging so fun, my blog is only three months old and I’m now seriously addicted thanks to all of your great blogs and nice comments.

Since you seem to enjoy French Fridays, I thought it would be fun to give a French twist to this contest.




- 2 books (1 stack) to choose from the list below
- Bonus Book : My Life in France by Julia Child (see below for information)
- 1 bookmark (Editions de Mai – French artist Anne Laval)
- 1 badge (La Marelle en Papier – French designer Miss Clara)
- 1 notebook “Le Chocolat élimine tous mes tracas” (French artist Anne Laval)
- 2 magnets (Le Chat Noir and Moulin Rouge)



Here are the choices for the books. You have to choose one stack only.
Descriptions of the books are linked.

Educational Stack
Talk to the Snail - Stephen Clarke
Touché - Agnès Catherine Poirier


Historical Stack
French Tales - Helen Constantine



Food & Life Stack
French Women Don't Get Fat - Mireille Guiliano
French Women For All Seasons - Mireille Guiliano


Romance 1 Stack
Weekend in Paris - Robyn Sisman
The Art of French Kissing - Kristin Harmel



Romance 2 Stack

Petite Anglaise - Catherine Sanderson



-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bonus Book (Optional) :
If you can guess all the movie titles in this Movie Collage,
you will also win My Life in France (by Julia Child). 



This only counts if you found ALL the titles.
These are all movies that take place in France.
If the winner didn’t guess all the movie titles, I will pick a winner amongst those of you who got all the answers right, and the chosen one will get My Life in France.



(The idea of the Movie Montage was inspired by a Cover Collage at The Neverending Shelf, cheers Kate !).

  1. Congratulations on your 75 followers. I love your blog and I'm sure you will continue to grow. I love the French feeling of this contest. But it is hard, I'm going to get hubby to help. Hope that doesn't class as cheating.

  3. :D Great contest! I'm so going to take place on this one. Watch the Julie & Julia movie the other day and I'm totally in love with it!

    Btw - I am SO HAPPY to find a French book blogger. Not that I also come from France but now I feel like I've a place to ask about the language =) I hope you don't mind if I do that sometime?

  4. Oh sadness. I was hoping for a book in French. Like one of those Alanna books. Those were PRETTY covers!

    These look quite delectable as well though. :)
