2014 has been another great year for France Book Tours, its authors and its reviewers!

Here is the year through some graphs and stats.

38 books have been presented in 2014 (23 in 2013)

We had less Romance and General Fiction this past year, and much more Historical Fiction and Nonfiction.
Women writers are even more present then in 2013.
Alas, less books translated from the French. But it means there’s a large interest for English writing authors to focus on France.
