Les Cent nouvelles nouvelles | 
pickI'm pretty sure no one is interested buy my medievalist heart compels me to review this. It was my first book read in Medieval French and it took me sooooo long.
A compilation of 100 short stories, a la Decameron or Canterbury Tales. A bit funny and a bit violent (like most things medieval) it stands as one of the great books of short stories of the period. Of course I loved it, but then again medieval weird humor is my cup of tea.

AlaMich Medieval French, huh? 🙇♀️ 6y
Avanders Sounds interesting! Though maybe not the medieval French part 😁 6y
ofbooksandme @AlaMich Yeah, it's like my thing. But at first it killed me. French is my third language and I'm only at an intermediate level so going medieval was certainly a challenge. But my PhD is going to be in Medieval French lit so I couldn't pick! 6y
ofbooksandme @Avanders Yeah, don't do that hahaha. But on all honesty I didn't get some of the jokes till I went to at least the modern French version to check. In translation is sooo much better lol. 6y
