Couture Confessions – Chanel, Dior, YSL &c. ♡ Pamela Golbin

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…

[French review] Prendre soin de soi – Enjeux et critiques d’une nouvelle religion du bien-être ♡ Françoise Bonardel.
Pas toujours transportée par les livres de développement personnel, j’avais une petit appréhension en empruntant celui-ci à la bibliothèque. Quelle agréable surprise de découvrir qu’en réalité, il ne s’agit pas tant de développement personnel que de véritable philosophie.

[ARC] Health Mind Soul ♡ Jeff Simpson.
I recently got contacted by Jeff Simpson to review his book, Health Mind Soul. The title, I think, is quite self-explanatory: it is a book about your health, your mind and your soul. All fun stuff, right? You will tell me that there are thousands of books out there discussing the same topics, I can…

[ARC] Harness the Power of the Invincible Mind ♡ Alex Neumann.
I recently go contacted by Alex Neumann, the author of Harness the Power of the Invincible Mind who kindly sent me a paperback version of his book. I was a little afraid in the beginning as to me, self-help books are all one or the other. This one was actually very interesting (4 stars, you…

[French ARC] Belleville Mamie Blues ♡ Jean-Jacques Fradet
« Où se rencontrent les morts si ce n’est sur les lèvres des vivants ? » Jean-Jacques Fradet écrit cette phrase vers la fin de son ouvrage, et c’est par cette dernière que je désire commencer ma chronique. A mon sens, c’est de loin cette si petite phrase qui représente le mieux le coeur même…
