Patterns

Something odd has happened with my reading the last 5 books I have read all had french elements.

Julie and Julia - Julie attempts to cook every single recipe from Julia Childs' Mastering the Art of French cooking in one year.

Weekend in Paris - Title says it all.

Hunting and Gathering - Translated from French and set in Paris.

Whistling in the Dark - Main characters' nearly twin 9 year old sister is obsessed with moving to France and peppers her speech with French words.

Unless - Main character makes her living translating a series of books by a French author into English.

These kinds of patterns have happened before to me. I find them fascinating.
