Hey guys! I’m back with a new TTT today and one I suggested! I can’t wait to see what everybody will think of that topic 😉 As for me, I’ll be sharing the 10 books with the most beautiful or original titles I can think of!
(Also, if you do not know what TTT is, you can read all about it at That Artsy Reader Girl.)
Hey guys! This week Top Ten Tuesday will be a Top Five for me! Maybe I’m picky… but there are not a lot of authors who are auto-buy for me… I’ll be interested if I see some names, and yes 99% sure if Bardugo or Schwab write something I’ll buy it BUT if we talk about authors I’ll buy not even knowing what the book is about… we are talking about a very select club!
Hi guys!! Are you ready for a new Top Ten Tuesday? ( If you do not know what TTT is, you can read all about it at That Artsy Reader Girl.) This week theme: Favorite Books Released In the Last Ten Years (one book per year!)… this is going to be hard!
Hello everybody! Winter is already here, and we are all under snow in Montréal! I do feel the need to read comforting and winter-y reads, and I thought I might not be the only one! Indeed, it was the Top Ten Tuesday theme for this week 🙂 So here is a little list of recs if you are looking to add some books to your TBR!
Hello les dragons!
Ça y est, c’est le moment de sortir les livres d’hiver et de se lancer dans le Cold Winter Challenge!! Il s’agit pour moi de ma troisième participation et j’ai vraiment hate. Si vous ne connaissez pas ce challenge, c’est simple: il s’agit de choisir une liste de livres à lire du 1er décembre au 31 janvier, en fonction de certains menus fournis par Margaud Liseuse. D’ailleurs, vous pouvez voir sa vidéo, et rejoindre notre groupe sur facebook!!
En ce qui concerne les menus, ils ne changent pas par rapport à l’année dernière, et on retrouve donc:

Hello les dragons! Je suis (enfin) de retour pour le rendez-vous du mardi (Pour en savoir plus à se sujet, allez donc voir cette page!).
Et aujourd’hui, je vous parle de ces auteurs que je rêve de pouvoir rencontrer!
Me voilà de retour pour le rendez-vous du mardi! (Pour en savoir plus à se sujet, allez donc voir cette page!)
Le top 10 de la semaine: Les livres que je pourrais relire encore et encore, pour TOUJOURS!
1.La quête d’Ewilan – Pierre Bottero
Je vous en ai déjà parlé, et je vous en parlerais encore: Pierre Bottero est mon auteur préféré et à chaque fois que je lis ses livres, la magie est là. Je plonge en Gwendalavir sans hésitation, et chaque ligne écrite par Bottero est une MERVEILLE.
(Norse mythology by Neil Gaiman, Publisher: Bloomsbury publishing)Neil Gaiman has long been inspired by ancient mythology in creating the fantastical realms of his fiction. Now he turns his attention back to the source, presenting a bravura rendition of the great northern tales. In Norse Mythology, Gaiman fashions primeval stories into a novelistic arc that begins with the genesis of the legendary nine worlds; delves into the exploits of the deities, dwarves, and giants; and culminates in Ragnarok, the twilight of the gods and the rebirth of a new time and people. Gaiman stays true to the myths while vividly reincarnating Odin, the highest of the high, wise, daring, and cunning; Thor, Odin’s son, incredibly strong yet not the wisest of gods; and Loki, the son of giants, a trickster, and unsurpassable manipulator. From Gaiman’s deft and witty prose emerges the gods with their fiercely competitive natures, their susceptibility to being duped and to dupe others, and their tendency to let passion ignite their actions, making these long-ago myths breathe pungent life again.
I have to start with this: I am a huge fan of Neil Gaiman, the universes he creates, what he does with the ones that exist, namely mythologies (Do I need to talk about American Gods?). My all time favorite is The Ocean at the end of the lane. But I won’t talk too much about this one here, as I am supposed to do a review of Norse Mythology.
Here, it is not about creating something new, but telling in his own way the Norse myths and legends. I borrowed the audiobook version so I can only speak about it but to say it shortly: I LOVED it! Neil Gaiman himself will whisper to you the secrets of the Nordic Gods, from how they came to be, to their end with Ragnarok.
It was a bit like being sitting around a fire, and listening to old tales, visualizing them becoming alive in front of you.
I can only recommend this book, at least the audio version, if you are a fan of Neil Gaiman, of myths and legends and want to feel some ancient magic flowing in your ears!
Have you read/listen to it?
See you for a cup!
