Bunny ♡ Mona Awad
This one is probably one of the weirdest book I have ever read in my life (and I have read quite a bunch of weird books) and as of right now, I am still not sure 3 stars is the right rating. To be honest, I do not even know if I liked it or…

February Wrap up ♡ Lots of children’s books + the nonsense of counting the books you’ve read
In January, I decided to publish my wrap up as a podcast but with grad school, work and everything, I prefer writing a post today to share my February wrap up with you. I will simply give you a list of the books I have read with a star rating and possibly a link to…

[ARC] Overcoming Addiction to the Status Quo ♡ Kathryn F. Burmeister Esq.
Overall, I loved the book and I must say that I loved the whole entire world around the book. What I mean here is that I loved the website, the colors, the fonts used for the titles and everything that has to do with the aesthetic aspect. I also really enjoyed learning little pieces here…

Love Lies and Liquor ♡ M.C Beaton.
When I took this book at my local library, I did not really know what to think. To be honest, I love mystery novels and the covers of that collection really appealed to me, but I was not sure. Would I like it? As a librarian myself, it is part of my job to know…

The Book With No Name ♡ Anonymous.
I feel like saying that this book made me think of Tarantino’s movies would be quit redundant as everyone tends to says so… but that is so true in my opinion! I have a thing for books which use several narratives and go in different places, which is totally the case of this one. I…

Letters to a Young Poet, Rainer Maria Rilke.
This is by far one of the best books I have read (actually, listened to). I had never read anything by this author but had heard wonderful things about him. As a lot of people recommended starting with this book, that is what I did without really knowing what I would find…

Couture Confessions – Chanel, Dior, YSL &c. ♡ Pamela Golbin
As someone who loves talking about elegance so much, I just could not take this book when I saw it at the library! This book is basically a memento of all of the important ideas of the most prominent personalities of the Parisian Haute Couture. Gabrielle Chanel, Christian Dior, Schiap: everyone has they own part…

[ARC] Dizzy Lizzie ♡ Kat E. Erikson (Children’s lit.)
ARC // As a student currently writing a Master’s thesis about Children’s literature, I just absolutely had to choose to review that book when it got recommended to me on Booksirens.com! When I saw the cover, I melted: can we take a moment to appreciate how wholesome the illustrations are and how cute the font…

Persuasion ♡ Jane Austen.
Reading Persuasion took me the longest time. Literally, over six months, which is quite crazy! I really wanted to make sure I read it well. When I read Emma (by Jane Austen again), I read it too fast and now, I am left with a desire, almost a need to read it again given the…
