Seasonal Book Recommendations for Fall (and Halloween) Lovers
As Halloween is now a (still very fresh) memory, I thought we could use this opportunity to write a post about autumn reads. We often consider autumn reads to be Halloween reads, though autumn has more to offer than (only) the spooky vibe. Of course, some of the books in the list are Halloween-inspired (because…

Cozy Fall Reading List for 2024
After catching up on my 2024 reading list so far, I thought I would share with you my fall-to-be-read list. Do not get me wrong, there are plenty of chances I won’t get to read all of it, but prefer having it on the chunkier side so that you may get as much inspiration as…

Explore My 2024 Reading List by Genre (31 books so far)
I thought that to reintroduce books into this corner of the internet (I may not be a librarian any more, but I have never lost my love for books), we might have a tour of the books I have read so far in 2024. They may fall into several categories, so just pretend they have…

Mid-Year Book List – All the books I have read in 2022 so far! ☆
I am so happy to write today about a topic so dear to my heart that I have nonetheless left a bit to live on its own in 2022: books. As a former librarian, a children’s literature graduate, a certified book coach, and a literary consultant, books are undoubtedly a gigantic part of my life.…

When Nicole Draffen, author of Hyphened-Nation: Don’t check the Box contacted me to review her book, I have immediately been seduced by the topic.

June-October Wrap Up: all of the 16 reviews I did not write before & on the importance of slowing down.
As you might have seen (or maybe not as I still publish posts regularly), life has been little bit hectic lately. To sum it all up, after my break-up last Spring, I changed apartments, jobs, started a business and then, a new school year again. Right now, I am working on finishing my master’s thesis…

April Wrap up + FULL REVIEWS!♡ Picture books, French lit & Middle Grades.
I can now officially say that when you work full-time at a library, then you read more books. Obviously (and contrary to popular belief), you do not read at work, but you read a lot after work because you have seen all the pretty books you may potentially borrow and take home. Well, that is…
