French Literature Final Boss
=== Stable! ===
Based on my original post on having quests for French Literature, I made starter packs (check my profile 👀) but I'm thinking we just need a big dump! Thanks to everyone participating!
This list covers books across time by French authors (as in people that have the nationality no matter their origins) and can hopefully incentivize crossovers with the Francophonie mon amour list!
Check comments to see how I diversified the list!
Burned at the stake
This is a list of fictionalized and nonfiction accounts of witch trials. Please feel free to recommend books, especially ones from authors of colour as this niche interest of mine lacks diversity in that respect!
