It’s a been a while since my last post, so I thought I would come back with this quick review; a short and sweet way to ease back into my writing routine — as if I ever had one! This duology was recommended to me by a fellow bookstagrammer and I was happy to find … Continue reading Divine Rivals & Ruthless Vows by Rebecca Ross
I stumbled upon this book as I was accompanying my son to the children’s section of the local library. I was intrigued by the title, and in the mood for some middle-grade/teen escapism. I read the first pages and decided to take it home. I am very glad I did! Sylvia is 13 year old. … Continue reading Sylvia Doe and the 100-year flood, by Robert Beatty
"The southern slums of the great city of Mordew shook to the concussion of waves and firebirds crashing against the Sea Wall. Daylight, dim and grey through the thick clouds, barely illuminated what passed for streets, but the flickering burst of each bird flashed against the overcast like red lightning.

"I turned my nightmares into fireflies and caught them in a jar." Strange the Dreamer had been sitting on my shelf for years, when I finally cracked it open a few days ago. I actually got my hands on it while looking for another time in the depths of my overflowing bookcase. I am very … Continue reading Strange the Dreamer, by Laini Taylor

I have finally come across a book I felt a urge to discuss. A masterpiece I needed to rave about at lengths.
"Au commencement était la vitesse -- une nappe de foudre fine sans couleur ni matière..." Je ne savais pas trop à quoi m'attendre en ouvrant ce roman polyphonique dont l'originalité a été tant vantée. Un roman qui traite d'une quête bien étrange : parvenir à l'origine du vent, l'Extrême Amont, après avoir découvert et fait … Continue reading La Horde du Contrevent, par Alain Damasio
Merci à l'auteur de m'avoir envoyé ce Service Presse, à la suite d’une prise de contact via simplement.pro en échange d'une chronique honnête. Ce roman, c'est l'histoire d'une quête.

By now I should be prepared to be met with sheer brilliance when entering a Hardinge book, yet every time I am caught off guard by the beauty of her works. A Face Like Glass used to be my favourite of hers, when compared to The Lie Tree and A Skinful of Shadows (which I … Continue reading Cuckoo Song, by Frances Hardinge
After having heard -read- about The Night Circus everywhere, I finally got my hands on it and even found my way through my overflowing TBR to open it. The first try, in August, was a false start, though, because at the time, after a long stretch of reading in English, I felt the need to … Continue reading The Night Circus, by Erin Morgenstern
