📖 Avis de lecture 📖
.
Ce que les étoiles doivent à la nuit de Anne-Gaëlle Huon @editionsalbinmichel
.
💭Comme prévu, ce livre est devenu un vrai coup de cœur ❤️
Je ne savais pas que c’était la suite d’un autre livre de l’autrice, mais pour être honnête, je n’ai pas eu de difficulté à suivre l’histoire, puisqu’il met en avant un autre personnage principal.

J’ai beaucoup aimé les différents points de vue, ainsi que les timelines alternatives. Cette histoire est vraiment émouvante, entre les hauts et les bas que traversent Liz et les autres personnages de « Ce que les étoiles doivent à la nuit ».

Je ne voulais même pas que cette belle histoire s’arrête, tant j’ai aimé découvrir le parcours de Liz et la voir évoluer ✨

Dommage que je n’aie pas pu goûter ce qu’elle a préparé tout au long de l’histoire 😜

Hi #Booksta 🥰 How is everyone?
.
The Boyfriend by Freida McFadden is the second book that I’ve read by this author and again I wasn’t disappointed. You could even say that these plot twists made me mad. 😭 Every time that I thought that I’ve figured out who the bad guy was, the author managed to prove me wrong 😅. So this book definitely kept me on the edge of my seat! I’m still not okay by how it ended 😂.

Hello, Bookstagram 🥰 how are we doing today?
.
I finished “This Book Kills” by Ravena Guron yesterday, and it’s been a thrilling journey.
.
This story follows Jess, a scholarship student at a prestigious school. A mysterious murder has happened on the school grounds, and unfortunately for Jess, she wrote a murder story before the student’s death, and everything she wrote down has happened to the murdered student. Now she becomes the murderer's target, will she manage to find the real killer before something terrible happens again?
.
I have to say that even though I managed to deduce the real killer early enough, the suspense stayed until the epilogue, and I still found myself engrossed by the storytelling. I enjoyed Guron’s writing style, and this will not be my last book from this author. If you like YA mystery with twists and turns, you must try “This Book Kills”. It’s worth it! 🥰

Hi Bookstagram! 🥰
.
I’ve recently finished “Scarlet” by Genevieve Cogman and just had to share this book with you.
.
📝Synopsis: Revolutionary France is no place to be, especially for aristocrat vampires facing the guillotine. But the League of the Scarlet Pimpernel are determined to rescue them. And they have an ace up their sleeve: Eleanor, a lowly maid from an English estate with a striking resemblance to French royalty.

For Eleanor, the League and their legendary deeds are little more than rumour – until she’s drawn into their most dangerous plot yet. The mission? Travel to France in disguise, impersonate Queen Marie Antoinette and rescue the royal family. If they succeed, it’ll be the heist of the century.

But there’s more to fear than ardent Revolutionaries. For Eleanor stumbles across a centuries-old war between vampires and their fiercest enemy. And they’re out for blood . . .

Good morning, bookstagram! 🥰 I’m finally back with

Good morning, bookstagram! 🥰 I’m finally back with a post after how many weeks (even months, I guess)? Thank you reading Slump 😂
.
However, “City of Fallen Angels” has gotten me out of that crazy slump! And what a joy it has been to be back in this series 😍 I know I’m so late to the party, but this series is so intimidating. I don’t even know how many books exist in the Shadowhunter world. So, it is intimidating. But I want to catch up ASAP, as the next book has already been ordered.😁
.
My thoughts 💭:
So, “City of Fallen Angels” wasn’t my favourite book in the series, but I still enjoyed reading it. It felt so good to be back in the world and to see how they are evolving after the events of the third book. Surprisingly, I remembered most of it even though it had been years since I’d read City of Glass.
Those of you who’ve been following me on my blog since the beginning probably know that The Infernal Devices Trilogy is my favourite in the whole world and that I’ve never been much of a fan of the writing style in the “Mortal Instruments” series compared to the Infernal Devices one. However, in this book, it didn’t irritate me that much, and I quite enjoyed it even. I think that I tended to forget in the past that Clary and her friends are only teenagers who aren’t even 18 yet for most of them. So it is kind of normal for them to behave like 16-year-old kids, and the writing style has to adapt to this situation as well.
.
Can we talk about the ending, please? Can’t they be left alone for a second and live in peace? Is that too much to ask 😅 I’ve nearly got a heart attack 😂

🎉2025 recap🎉

2025 was a mixed bag. Reading wasn't on point, but at least I have memories that I will remember forever 🥰.

After facing tough times with 2 losses in my family, we celebrated life with my wedding. Now I'm looking forward to 2026, hoping it'll be the year I dive back into books 🙈 and enjoy some well-deserved calm after no more wedding planning.

My TBR is ready and waiting 😂

Happy New Year everyone 🥳🥳

Hello Bookstagram 🥰 . I’ve finished “Beach Rivals”

Hello Bookstagram 🥰
.
I’ve finished “Beach Rivals” a few days ago and absolutely loved it. It was just the perfect summer read! If you enjoy books by Emily Henry you’ll definitely need to try Tilney 😊
.
Synopsis: One bookshop in paradise. Two bitter rivals. A whole summer to get through...

Clare thought that by now she would have her life figured out. Instead, she's living with her parents, working a job she hates and has absolutely no idea what she wants to do with the rest of her life.

When she sees a viral job advert for a three-month bookseller position on a Bali beach, she jumps at the chance. But it's not until she arrives in Bali that Clare realises she won't be working in the bookshop alone.

Instead she's sharing the bookshop - and a flat - with a handsome but infuriating American man. Jack is Clare's opposite in almost every way, and it's not long before they're driving each other crazy. But fighting with Jack is also the most fun Clare's had in years, and it's only a matter of time before their relationship turns less than professional...

Beach Rivals is an escapist, slow-burn enemies-to-lovers rom com - the ideal summer read!

Good morning Bookstagram 🥰 (🇩🇪 only)
.
Ich habe gestern Abend noch das neueste Buch von Tami Fischer beendet und das einzige was ich dazu sagen kann ist WOW! Was für ein Buch! Ich bin auf jeden Fall überzeugt von diesem ersten Teil und kann es kaum erwarten, Band 2 in den Händen zu halten. Ich hab diesen Band sogar heute Morgen vorbestellt 😂 Ich konnte einfach nicht anders vor allem nach dem Cliffhanger. Der war wirklich ultrafies 😭😂
.
In diesem ersten Teil, sieht Sarah rot. Ihre Zwillingsschwester Payton kommt nach einem Jahr Funkstille, komplett zerstört nach San Francisco zurück. Sarah erkennt ihre Schwester kaum wieder und möchte denen das Handwerk legen, welche ihre Schwester so misshandelt haben. Sarah gibt sich also als Payton aus und lebt das Leben ihrer Zwillingsschwester weiter. Allerdings läuft nichts nach Plan und Sarah weiß nicht mehr was sie noch glauben kann. Und dann trifft sie auf den gut aussehenden Monroe und weiß, dass dieser ihr und ihren Plänen gefährlich werden kann.

Hello Bookstagram 🥰 I’ve recently finished a book in the Shadowhunterworld by Cassandra Clare and I absolutely want to keep up with this series. Seriously, why did I start so late with my journey?! Shame on me!

But to redeem myself in my own eyes, I’ve bought another book in the series. This is more of a companion novel and I’m so thrilled to read it (hopefully) soon 🤭

Hi Booksta 🥰 . I’ve started to enjoy cozy mysterie

Hi Booksta 🥰
.
I’ve started to enjoy cozy mysteries these past few years and I must say that “The Thursday Murder Club” by Richard Osman has become my favorite one so far. It was really entertaining to see these elderly people solving a murder case with real professionals whilst being a tad bit more intelligent than the detectives. I couldn’t even say who my favorite character was because the members of the club were all very loveable 🥰
.
Osman managed to make me feel at home with his book and I can’t wait to start the next book in this series! Now I just need to decide whether I’m continuing it in German or in English.
