A Small Break

Hey guys ! I'm sorry I haven't been posting in a while but I'm currently very busy with tests and you know, school stuff.
I'm going to take a small break from blogging, I'll be back around January as soon as my finals are finished. You can still talk to me on Twitter and of course I'm still going to read your blogs (I don't know if I'll comment everytime and I'm sorry about that).

I don't know how some of you manage to do it all. If you have some tips for that I'd love to hear them.

Anyway, see you soon !

I'll be back.

Riverdale S1 | Episode 3 !

*This post contains spoilers*

Riverdale S1 | Ep 1 & 2 !

Hello everyone !

I don't know if you know this about me but I always watch something on the side when I'm blogging/studying/whatever. So when I was working on my « Rereading A Game of Thrones » post and realized I had nothing to watch, I remembered that Greg liked Riverdale and I thought I would give it a try.

I watched the first two episodes and I'm still not sure of whether I like it or not. Let's start with the beginning.

My Favorite Book Titles !

Hello everyone !

Book titles are extremely important. They are literally the first thing you see when you look at a book cover.

Sometimes, they're even more important than the actual cover.

Let's take If I Fix You for instance. I'm not a fan of the cover but the title immediately made me click on the "want to read" button.

That's why today I decided to dedicate a full post to my favorite book titles.

SYNOPSIS

Damen is a warrior hero to his people, and the rightful heir to the throne of Akielos, but when his half brother seizes power, Damen is captured, stripped of his identity, and sent to serve the prince of an enemy nation as a pleasure slave.

Beautiful, manipulative and deadly, his new master Prince Laurent epitomises the worst of the decadent court at Vere. But in the lethal web of Veretian politics, nothing is as it seems, and when Damen is caught up in a dangerous play for the throne, he must form an alliance with Laurent to survive and save his country.
For Damen, there is just one rule: he must never reveal his true identity. Because the one man Damen needs is the one man who has more reason to hate him than anyone else . . .

September Wrap Up | I Don't Like Being Busy

Hello everyone !

Can you believe it's already October ? 

This month was good but tiring. I've been very busy between blogging, reading, my three group projects, my classes … It's very hard to manage everything but I'm doing my best so that's what matters, right ? I'm sorry if I don't comment to your blogs as often as I used to. I read blog posts when I'm on the bus but it's difficult to comment from my phone.

Fortunately, it's my last year of college, unless I decide to continue for two more years which is very unlikely. I'm trying to enjoy the "college experience" as much as I can. For those wondering, I'm not talking about partying and having fun with friends but going to the library and to class. I only missed two days this month. That must be a record for me. 

Now that you know how boring I really am we can start this wrap up !

Discussion | Bullied by A Professor

Hello everyone !

Today, I'm going to talk about something not related to books/blogging and that is college. More particularly, awful professors. I don't mean awful like "oh they're so mean, they give us tons of homework". I mean the "real" kind of awful. The kind that can hurt people.

I have a very racist/discriminating professor and I need to rant.

Discussion | Are DNF Reviews Useless ?

Hello everyone !

I've seen a lot of people on Twitter, Booktube and such say that people who DNF a book shouldn't write reviews about them. As you may have guessed - since I have a DNF section on this blog – I disagree.

Game of Thrones S7 | Part 2 : The South

Hello everyone ! 

Just like for the part 1, you need to know that :

1. There are LOTS of spoilers ahead.

2. If a quote isn't in a blockquote or in italic, it's just me paraphrasing the characters.

Let's go !

August Wrap Up | My Worst Reading Month ...?

Hello everyone !

August is over and Winter is coming (I'm not talking about the actual winter I'm talking about college, don't judge me). In a week I'll go back to college and … I don't want to. I'm not going to complain for a whole paragraph about it so let's move on to the fun stuff : Games !

I fell in love with Life is Strange. It's such a fascinating game. For those who've never heard of it, it's basically a game where every choice you make will have an impact on the present and the future (and sometimes the past too). We follow a high school student who can rewind time and let me tell you, it's not as cool as it sounds. I mean, yes ,time-travel is awesome but the consequences, guys. Everytime I had to make a choice I had to think about what would happen next. The cool thing is that you can rewind after making a choice to see the other alternatives.

Now let's talk about reading … *sighs*. It was complicated. I thought I was in a reading slump for a while but the only problem was that I didn't love any of the books I've read - or tried to read - this month.

Game of Thrones S7 | Part 1 : The North

 Hello and welcome to the obsessive part of my brain.

As you may or may not know, I'm a huge fan of Game of Thrones. I love the show, I love the books even more, I'm completely obsessed. Today, I'm going to review, ramble and share my crazy interpretations of this season.

Before you go into this review you need to know that :

1. I'm going to divide this review in two parts : The North and the South (take a moment to admire my creativity here).

2. There are LOTS of spoilers ahead, you're warned.

3. All of my theories are my own. I don't really read fan theories

4. If a quote isn't in a blockquote or in italic, it's just me paraphrasing the characters.

5. I tend to talk directly to the characters. Don't worry, they're used to it.

The Longest Book Tag !

Hello everyone !

Today I'm doing the longest book tag. It was created by Ditsha from Bewitchingly Paranoid and I was tagged by Sam from Tsundoku Books.

The Rules:

1. Make a list of the five longest books you've ever read.

2. Select two of the longest books on your TBR.

3. Discuss.

4. Tag others

All of these books have more than 500 pages. This post would be a little dull if I repeated five times how much I loved those books so instead I'm going to tell you what kept me reading.

Trailer Reaction : Death Note

Hello everyone !

Today I'm doing something different because …. I'm out of content. Just kidding *nervous laugh* of course I'm not out of content. *clears throat* let's go back to business. Books are great but I want to talk about other things sometimes and since I'm a huge fan of TV Shows and movies, I thought « why not ? ». So today I'm bringing you my reaction to the trailer of the Netflix adaptation of Death Note (spoiler alert : I think this is going to be terrible.)

This post contains spoilers for the original story. Italic quotes are from the manga/anime.

Popular Books I didn't Like

Hello everyone !

Today I'm sharing my unpopular opinions. There are lots of popular books that I didn't like so I thought it'd be cool to tell you all about them.
