[French ARC] Le promeneur sur le cap (Livre I) ♡ Mike Martin
Je trouve toujours complexe de critiquer un polar sans en dévoiler les secrets puisqu’il semblerait que chaque détail comporte son lot de significations. J’ai particulièrement apprécié ici le jeu des intrigues puisque si l’intrigue principale concerne en effet le meurtre que Windflower s’évertue à résoudre, des sous-intrigues sont également dignes d’intérêt. Par exemple, les guerres…

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…

3 Graceful Ways To Combine Several Blog Niches & blog niches that work well together.
One of the first question you are asked to answer when it comes to blogging is: what is your niche? To put it simply, a niche is the main topic of your blog (food, beauty &c.) and will dictate the direction your blog (or future business) is most likely to take. Usually, people recommend that…

[Discussion Post ] Do Book Covers Matter To You?
Even though I consider myself to be a minimalist, I do love to own books and whevener I buy a book, I must admit that its cover can have an impact on my choice. In French, we say that “on ne juge pas un livre à sa couverture”, which literally means “you do not judge…

Is Required Reading in School A Good Thing?
As a former literature student, I have had quite a lot of books to read. When you choose to study literature at university, then you know you will have required readings and in a way, you have “chosen” it. However, you’ve not chosen to study literature in high school and thus, required reading at that…

4 Things To Do Before Reading a Classic (to have a smoother reading experience)
Reading classics is probably one of the most intimidating things for a bookworm. Even though I have studied literature for 3 years at university, I still feel impressed by clasic books sometimes. First, let’s define what classic literature is for us today. I will give a definition for the sake of that post, but I…

How To *actually* Find Time For Blogging.
As a full-time student, a part-time librarian and an entrepreneur, I know how hard it can get sometimes to find time for blogging. Strangely enough, it seems to never be a “priority”, and thus we tend to put our blog on the side until the “right moment”. The point is that I am not convinced…

[Discussion Post] Are Picture Books Art?
How do we define “art”? In my opinion, art is a creation that brings out feelings in me, no matter what type of feeling that is. When it comes to Picture Books, I feel really sensitive to their beauty. Being a librarian helped me discover numerous authors and artists, and it also helped me realize…

[Discussion Post] Do You Lend Books to Other People? Why? Why Not?
As a librarian, that is the million dollar question. I mean, obviously I do lend books… at work. However, when it comes to my private life, my position on the question is a little bit more ambivalent. Did you ever lend a book and never saw it again? Myabe it is just me, but I…
