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…

An Indelible Day ♡Cairo Marques.
It had been such a long time since I had last read a short story. I think my last one was somewhere during my second year of college, which starts becoming quite long ago. That is part of the reason why I was so happy when the author contacted me: it would be great to…

Interview ♡ Lancelot Schaubert, Writer (& so much more).
Lately, I go contacted by Lancelot Schaubert to review his debut novel & we decided to share with you an interview. I asked questions I think could profit to many of you (if not all of you), whether you are into writing or not. He is actually not “just” into writing but in many other…

[ARC] Treehouse Whispers (Charmed) ♡ Elouise East.
When the author contacted me to review her new book, I immediately read the summary. I also immediately knew it was not my « type of book » but I really wanted to get out of my comfort zone and review a book belonging to a genre I knew almost nothing about: New Romance. Continue…

The Importance of Being Earnest ♡ Oscar Wilde.
I finished that (rather short) play in a day and it was simply WONDERFUL! I must admit I have a certain fascination for Oscar Wilde’s writing style and that play makes no exception to the rule.I love plays that have more than two layers of “surprise” and that is obviously the case of this one.…
