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…

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…

[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.…

[ARC] Kicking Financial A** ♡ Paul Christopher Dumont.
I am not used to reading self-help books that are so long and usually, when they are, I find them quite boring. But this one is WORTH YOUR TIME and you will be very happy on page 100 that there are still almost 200 pages waiting for you. That book covers the topic of finances…

[ARC] Polar Bear and the UFO ♡ Cynthia C. Huijgens

[ARC] Book Review – The Insightful Reader: How to Learn Deeply & Attain Life-Changing Insights from Books ♡ I. C. Robledo
My feelings about this book are mixed, I must admit. I really loved the tips given and I think they were really interesting and worth mentioning. I also must admit that I learnt quite a lot of new things through this guide and that I loved how important reading seems to be in the author’s…

Book Review: Carmilla, J. Sheridan Le Fanu.
When the word “vampire” crosses our minds, we more or less naturally think “Dracula”. But according to you, who inspired Bram Stroker? Was he the first to write stories about vampires? He was not, for sure. Vampires have been crowding myths and fiction for centuries and one of the first writers to use “vampires” as…
