Eloisa James In Notre Dame: “How many people died making this church?” Anna asked. And then, exasperated by my evasive answers (“lots…no, more than ten”), she stopped in front of the Rose Window. “Well, how many died making that? Don’t you even know how many died putting it up there?” I discover, once again, that growing up is synonymous with disillusionment with one’s parents.

Eloisa, I finished Potent Pleasure, Midnight Pleasure and Enchanting Pleasures. I think I read them all in two days. I couldn't put them down. They were great!! You had to laugh at some of the antic, than you wanted to slap someone upside the head....stubborn, oh, they were all stubborn! I'm waiting for something... new and I'm tryng to be patient..........LOL Now all your books go to my parents, who are retired and love to read. Someday, I'll be in Paris....doing nothing but people watch.Read More
Elizabeth I found this Venitian mask while out shopping today and it seemed just perfect for a Regency masquerade.
Christina Richards Are you a Michael Chrichton fan?? HarperCollins is publishing a new book of his! Apparently one of his assistants found a full manuscript (compuscript?) on his computer and they decided to publish it posthumously. It's called Pirate Latitudes, and it's about a seventeenth century English pirate who plans to raid a Spanish galleon in Jamaica. I know I'm excited!!
Judy Dawe A wonderful Thanksgiving to you and your family, Eloisa. jld
Eloisa James I was fascinated in Notre Dame by a priest offering confessions in French or Lebanese at a businesslike desk behind a pane of bulletproof glass; he resembled nothing so much as a lower level banker, the kind who should not be trusted to make an international wire.
Kerri Seaton Ah, I'm so jealous. Paris is my goal in two more years when hopefully I too will be on the NYT bestseller list. I can smell the croissants and cafe au lait from Tennessee Bonne chance!
Eloisa James We went to a pharmacy to pick up some vitamin C and my sister, paying, confused fifty cents with fifty euros (and vitamin C with gold dust); she offered the pharmacist 3 twenties. The pharmacist’s eyes widened: “Oooo, la la!” he cried. I love those moments when I feel as I’m living in a French movie.
Sharlene We visited the church you are attending while in Paris, here is a photo.
Eloisa James My sister & two nieces are visiting. Jetlag intervened and we didn’t make it out of the apartment until 6 pm, when it was already dark and raining. We splashed along to the Centre Pompidou (modern art museum). Anna and her cousins talked ferociously about summer camp and noticed they were in Paris only when a crepe stand came into view.
Julia Quinn Hello everybody! Just popping in to say that I just read through the upcoming "novel in three parts" written by Eloisa, Connie Brockway, and me, and it is wonderful! After reading their sections, I had to go back and re-read mine, just to make sure it was up to snuff.
Gemma Spriggs McLuckie More food ideas. It seems US newspapers have an endless fascination with French food, particularly what's in Paris! This is from the New York Times. Let us know if you check out any of these.

A food-obsessed traveler uses the Zagat guide of the Napoleonic era to explore the culinary wonders of this city in the 21st century.
Eloisa James We are now ensconced in the heart of a deeply conservative Catholic church—all smells & bells, my mother would have called it. My favorite moment is the final hymn, which is generally a hymn to Mary, called “Couronnée d’Étoiles,” or Crown of Stars. What I love is the wild purple prose. Every Sunday we less-than-tunefully carol that Mary “drapes” the sun, outshines the moon and salutes the dawn.
Yvonne Marteeny Hi Eloisa, in what arrondissement are you living in Paris? I spent 5 weeks in the 5th this summer. I absolutely love Paris. I hope you are enjoying it.

Hi Eloisa,
I was wondering if I could ask you for a bit of advise. Here's the situation. I'm a Pathfinder leader (Pathfinders is a branch of Canadian Girl Guides/Girl Scouts for 12-14 year olds) and my co-leaders and I are taking 6 of our girls (who'll be 13-16 years old by the time we go on the trip) for a three week E...uropean holiday next summer. We're visiting London, Paris, and Switzerland and I was wondering if you had any ideas as to where we could take our girls in Paris. We'll be going to the obvious places like the Louvre, the Eiffel Tower, and Notre Dame, and I was wondering if you had any ideas as to where we could take the girls. Any advice would be very greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks!
