75th read: Dée
Voila un nouveau écrivain Francophone à rajouter à ma liste de favoris. (Here’s a new French author to add to my favourites list) Encore une fois, je l’ai choisi au hazard sans savoir rien à son sujet. Quelle heureuse découverte! Je n’étais pas surprise d’apprende qu’il est professeur de literature. Je vais devoir lire tout…

69th read: My Evil Mother
Atwood is hit or miss with me, but this one was a hit. TITLE: My Evil Mother AUTHOR: Margaret Atwood Released: 2022 Format: Kindle Pages: 32 Genres: Short Story, Fantasy, Contemporary, Family SYNOPSIS Life is hard enough for a teenage girl in 1950s suburbia without having a mother who may—or may not—be a witch.

26th read: 38 kilomètres
Well, that was adorable (in the best way possible)! J’ai lu plusieurs récits de Patrick Senécal (Le Passager, Les septs jours du talion, 5150: Rue des Ormes, Hell.com, Aliss, Par effraction), mais ils étaient tous dans le genre horreur. Je n’avais jamais constaté qu’il avait écrit cette courte histoire autobiographique. (I’ve read many books from…

18th read: All My Puny Sorrows
Tricky one. I almost grouped it with my flops, but I did enjoy some moments. I think it just came into my life at the wrong time. My main problems with this book are kind of personal. I could relate much more to Elf (the suicidal sister) than Yoli (the protagonist). This frustrated me beyond…

10th read: My Mother, Munchausen’s and Me
First non-fiction of the year! I’m reading a few at the same time, but flew through this one. Memoirs that observe relationships between mother & daughter are engrossing to me, especially when those relationships are so flawed. TITLE: My Mother, Munchausen’s and Me AUTHOR: Helen Naylor Released: 2021 Format: Audiobook Pages: 276 Genres: Nonfiction, Memoir,…

8th read: Till We Have Faces
I began reading this one months ago to help a dear friend (Amelie) taking a C.S. Lewis class, but I took a break and read it for pleasure instead. I didn’t even know this book existed before! I’m not unfamiliar with C.S. Lewis: I grew up reading Narnia (my partner & I love The Magician’s…

3rd read: Kaikeyi
A new favourite is formed! This one was fate. I don’t often buy new releases, but I wanted this book as soon as I laid my eyes on it. I bought it on kindle (that same day) to avoid waiting for delivery (now I regret my impatience and wish I got a hardcover!) Sometimes I…
