Recs if you like Pietr the Latvian (Maigret, #1)...

The second volume of my french lit starter pack saga. Damn there are so many books to pick from, it's hard tbh. Also a lot of books I'd love to share that haven't been translated into english 🥲

A collection of acclaimed classic and contemporary Francophone literature. I chose to classify as Francophone rather than French in order to include authors who wrote in French but were/are not of French nationality, especially authors from colonised countries. Non-exhaustive as I'm not an expert I am keeping this list to one book per author but suggestions very welcome! :)

books to hate-read, recommended by the pagebound club comments

people hate the character(s) but they couldn't put the book down 😋

(antihero, villain protagonist, unreliable narrator, etc.)

boo!! tomato tomato!! 🍅🍅🍅

It’s French and Belgian since Maigret walks the line.
