The Search for French Trashy Romance Novels

I've been searching all the French bookstores for trashy romance novels, but I can't find any. I know they have to have them somewhere. I mean, this is FRANCE. I'm pretty sure it's the birthplace of the trashy romance novel. Otherwise, what am I doing here?!

Though maybe all their books are trashy romance novels and they don't have to make a distinction? I should probably just start looking in the "French Literature" sections.

We had to give the head of the program here our list of preferred classes. I'm trying to sign up for a class in Contemporary French Film. I hope I get the class because that would make my life. I'm a little nervous because the entire class will be in French. (I'm supposed to take two non language classes in French.) Because I enjoy having unrealistic expectations, I expect to either 1) understand everything or 2) have a class that consists entirely of watching French movies with English subtitles.

I also want to sign up for a fashion class. I feel that my hours of watching "American's Next Top Model" will finally be put to good use. I also had the option to take a few history and philosophy classes, but I shied away from those. They're hard enough to understand in English.

Pouvez-vous m'envoyer votre adresse à Paris quand vous savez que c'est?
