If you like Agatha Christie type books but want to have them in French, you could read some Maurice Leblanc. Arsène Lupin is a “gentleman cambrioleur”.

Parable of the Sower-- one of the very few sci-fi book I read last year and the one I've enjoyed the most so far, even though it is eearily realistic... One Hundred Years of Solitude-- my favorite book from my favorite writer ❤ if you want recommendations, continue with Gabo's Chronicle of a Death Foretold or Strange Pilgrims ❤ Thanks to your recommendations I reconnected with my love for fiction during the pandemic, started a reading journal last year, and learned about amazing writers like Octavia Butler.

The "Earthseed" duology is brilliant. I think you will love "Parable of the Talents" as well. Another stellar book by Octavia E Butler is "Kindred". Highly recommended!

Elizabeth, I read Scorched Grace. No, I made myself finish reading it. I found the characters and the situations unbelievable and unlikeable. I honestly don't know why I finished it. I always enjoy your book reviews, however brief!

You have to review "As the starts fall" by Steve N. Lee please! I can't be the only one being in a depression roller-coaster after that book

Would love to hear your opinion of "The Woman They Could Not Silence".

I just read a book in which the main character is a book writer and had written a succesful first book about "the Davenport twins" trying solve a murder. She way this main character refers to them in a "What would they do" way, annoyed me SO much. All those feelings came bubbling up when I heard you say "The Davenports". Oof.. - Nevertheless, nice video once again, and also once again perfect timing (as I was hoping for a new dose of inspiration by you) (and oh my, I do not hope this comes across as creepy as it might.. haha)

My absolute favourite reads so far this year: - The T in LGBT+ by Jamie Raines An incredibly valuable guide to being trans or non-binary. Whether you're trans or enby yourself, are gender questioning, have a trans or enby loved one, are a trans ally or just curious, I absolutely recommend it. - A Witch's Guide To Fake Dating A Demon by Sarah Hawley Hilariously fun and easy paranormal romance between a witch and the demon that wants to bargain her soul... But really doesn't. I stayed up the entire night to read this in one go, because I was so entranced. Absolutely loved it. - Girl, Goddess, Queen by Bea Fitzgerald Very feminist take on the Hades and Persephone myth, which is basically badass girl falls in love with soft artsy boy with hilarious banter and the best supporting characters. Also a great take on rape culture, dysfunctional mother-daughter relationship and the growth of an adolescent into a woman embracing all of her power.

your frensh is excelent :). may i sugest to you 2 books, older ones, but very nice mystèries by gaston leroux: le mystère de la chambre jaune and le parfum de la dame en noir? i haven't read any of the books in this video, but some are going te be on my tbr. i've been finisching some fantasy series that i started.

I am watching your video 1st time and immediately subscribing you after you gave deserved stars to ''It ends with Us'' and ''Normal People'' 😁😁💖

I have a book recommendation. I think you would quite like it! This book got me back into reading in 2020 The Only Girl in the World: A Memoir by maude Julien Description from Amazon: Maude Julien's parents were fanatics who believed it was their sacred duty to turn her into the ultimate survivor -- raising her in isolation, tyrannizing her childhood and subjecting her to endless drills designed to "eliminate weakness." Maude learned to hold an electric fence for minutes without flinching, and to sit perfectly still in a rat-infested cellar all night long (her mother sewed bells onto her clothes that would give her away if she moved). She endured a life without heat, hot water, adequate food, friendship, or any kind of affectionate treatment. But Maude's parents could not rule her inner life. Befriending the animals on the lonely estate as well as the characters in the novels she read in secret, young Maude nurtured in herself the compassion and love that her parents forbid as weak. And when, after more than a decade, an outsider managed to penetrate her family's paranoid world, Maude seized her opportunity.

You need to read “Rapture Force” by Jaeden Tremblay. It’s very short and…. Interesting to say the least. It’s his/her debut novel so of course it has its problems. Interesting, nonetheless.

If you’re looking for another french book, one that marked me for life was written by a journalist named Marc Boulet- Dans la peau d’un intouchable.
