In only one year and 124 days, I'll be moving to France.
I know this because my husband set up a countdown clock.
That seems like forever to wait, but I know the time will sneak up on me.
One way I've decided to prepare is by giving away some books. Rather than dropping them off at the local Goodwill, I thought it might be fun to have a book giveaway every Sunday, the day before Dreaming of France.
This week, I'd like to give one of you a hardback copy of A Paris Apartment by Michelle Gable. I reviewed this book in October 2014 for FranceBookTours. You can read my review here, if you're interested.
I enjoyed the rich details in this novel, which took place in present time and the Belle Epoque in Paris.
I'm sure you'll love to get your hands on a copy.
So sign up below. Please leave a comment and let me know how to reach you in case you win.

I haven't read anyone's blogs in over a week, been busy sightseeing and a slow internet access at hotel.
I can't believe you have actually set a date!! That is super fantastic! I am so pleased for you both.
I think this attaches to my email address. This book is on my list to read - crazy about stories that take place in Paris and France and I love your sharing of your family's antics. You probably don't know how many people you connect with and how many people sympathize and celebrate with you.
Anything to do with Paris is for me. I've got Paris on my bucket list and hope that this will be the year it will get visited.
Thanks for this captivating and wonderful feature and giveaway. Any novel set in Paris interests me greatly. Love the locale, Le Marais and enjoying the story. saubleb(at)gmail(dot)com
Thanks to everyone for commenting. I'll let you know the winner next Sunday when I post another book to giveaway.
very exciting on the move.
I have a very soft spot for Paris. I once spent 2 weeks there when I was younger and have been dying to go back every since. It's magical! :)
I want to go to Paris for my 50th birthday (2 1/2 years away), I love all things Paris.
because it is about what you love I'm interested. one day I hope to visit Paris but that will be far off in the future...
What a wonderful way to get ready to move. And all who win one of your books, will have a small remembrance. Of course, you will still blog and we can stay in touch. I will never get to visit Paris, but by reading books I can travel from my armchair.
Judy, What sweet sentiments.
Thanks to everyone who entered. I'll be sending the book out on Monday as soon as Rafflecopter chooses a winner.
Wow, Paulita, your move to France sounds exciting. I'd love to read this book so I'll throw my hat in the ring - lindakovicskow@gmail.com. By the way, thanks for placing the Francophile Banner at your site. It looks great!
Linda, I'm sure you'd enjoy the book. Thanks for creating the Francophile book site on Goodreads.
Not one I've read just yet. Thanks Paulita x
It's been suggested to me!
Good luck on your move to France, how exciting! I would actually like this book for my daughter because she loves to read and she dreams of going to Paris.
I enjoy reading and this books sounds and looks good :)
I enjoy books. We are planning a trip to Europe and Paris is in my plans. I would love to read about the city of Paris.
I have family traveling to Europe, they would like it
I was in Paris two days ago. I would love to read this book!
I have always wanted to visit France, plus I love to read, it takes me there without really being there.
Because I love Paris, went many years ago and can't go again to Paris this year (or next, or the next) and this would help :) And I love novels with some history!
I love reading books that take place in other countries, because I love traveling and learning more about the world.
I have been looking for a new book to read...and I think this one would be perfect. I love France, and any book set there!
I got to travel to Paris when I was in highschool. I loved it and am so excited that you get to move there. I love reading books about Paris they remind me of the fun times i've had there and the places I visited. JonesFD(at)aol(dot)com
I just absolutely love to read!
I'd like to win it because based on your review, it sounds like a great book.
My wife would love to be able to win this book, she loves reading.
My minor in college was French, and I love novels set in France!
I've been to Paris and have fallen under her spell.
I like all books because they take me far away from reality.
This sounds like a good read. Thank you for the chance :)
