Hello everyone ! So long since I've been here ! It's the third time we move this year because of the Covid and because my hubby found a new job 800 km far from here. So I negotiated with him to have an emergency supply during the process 😁. Here's my shelf and it'll be my TBR during the packing, the travel and the installation 😝🤩 + three magazines about History and literature. I hope it'll be good for October 🤣

Oh my goodness ! It has been a while since I didn't publish something here ! By the way, I'm re-reading Dracula like every year. Do you re-read your favorites ? How many times a year ?

Do you have a problem with buying soooo many books and a never-ending TBR ?
I kind of found a solution for myself :

I make lists of books I already have in different genres and if I complete one list, I can buy N-1 books.
Ex: If I read 4 books of Sci Fi, I can buy 3 new Sci Fi books.
I'm nearly completing my thriller/mystery list and I'm so exited !
I didn't buy new books since 2 months. That's challenging but it works !

Today, I interrupted my little mister cat reading my book... I guess he is as thrilled as me with the "Queen Elizabeth" of mystery ?

Christmas Bookhaul !!

Oh my bookness ! What a wonderful, mind-blowing dark read !! I hope it is translated in english for you to enjoy ! It's a perfect way to discover the Mongolian culture and traditions (what a yummy breakfast they have !) and that the western people do not monopolise the horrendous "it's business" murders...

Hi everyone !! What about a Winter Challenge ?

"Hooman, you're trying to iron ?
- Hope so, master.
-Nope.
-Yes, master."

Hi guys ! For my winter TBR I would like to have some sugestions about adult fantasy books. I heard about V.E.Schwab Darker shade of magic and... that's it. I would like to fall in a dense universe but, maybe it sounds contradictory, not in 15 or more books... A trilogy or duology. Any ideas, litters ?

"... but when an opportunity offered at last to meet my predecessor, the grass growing through his ribs was tall enough to hide his bones"

"Listen to them, the children of the night. What music they make !"
It's nearly my favorite quote of all time ( I love re-reading Dracula ?)

For anyone who wants to follow this challenge !

If you want to know more about the Bounty, the Potemkin, the expedition of Magellan (and many others), the myths and the real facts behind all the great pirates and mutineers stories, that's the book to read ! Every chapter studies a theme and a time period and explains the historical, social or political changes at that time. Great !

"-What an unlikely crew we have here ! I would like to know what an old trapper, a mountain guide and two sailors, are doing in here, in a tipi, in the middle of the forest, with a young Somali woman ?
-It's because of a shipwreck, answered Elias, but it'll be a little bit too long to explain."

* Traduction is mine *

Only 2 days to read this fabulous road-trip between Somalia, France, Swizterland and the Northern Canada. We follow Saamiya who seaks desperatly her daughter, helped in her journey by an unlikely crew. Love the depictions of the North, the beauty of the mountains and the deepest feelings of the human hearts. Hope it's translated soon for my english-speaking litsy-friends 😉

At the beginning it was soooo like Stephen King's It, but it's more like a tribute than a simple copy-and-paste book. I loved the depth of the characters ( ❤ Mossy) and, even if the end is not a secret, I found interesting seeing the characters fight their own demons. And Crawford's ending is sooo ironic, I loved it (yes I'm evil 😈)

The wold has gone insane, there's something outside, but if we see it we go mad and kill everyone and end up suiciding. Mallory is pregnant and she has to go outside blindfolded and survive the apocalypse... Disturbing and exciting !

Crawford : what a corrupted crooked cop ! 🤬 That was all I had to say 😉

New book to read. Soon to be signed (tomorrow ! 🤩)
