Une PAL pour la fin de l’année 📚✨

Aujourd’hui on se retrouve pour un article que je n’ai pas fait depuis très longtemps : une pile à lire !
Si vous suivez le blog depuis ses débuts, vous vous souvenez peut-être qu’avant j’en faisais tous les mois. On peut dire que c’était mon rituel pour bien commencer le mois.

Et en cette fin d’année 2019, j’ai décidé d’en faire une (ne vous y habituez pas, c’est juste une envie ponctuelle).
Comme vous pourrez le voir, je ne m’impose pas trop de livres, histoire de rester un minimum libre si d’autres lectures me tentent, et aussi pour ne pas trop forcer alors que je sors tout juste d’une panne de lecture.

The Folk of the Air, Tome 3 : The Queen of Nothing de Holly Black

Synopsis

Lecture VO

The finale to the New York Times bestselling Folk of Air trilogy, that started with The Cruel Prince and The Wicked King, from award-winning author Holly Black.

After being pronounced Queen of Faerie and then abruptly exiled by the Wicked King Cardan, Jude finds herself unmoored, the queen of nothing. She spends her time with Vivi and Oak, watches her fair share of reality television, and does the odd job or two, including trying to convince a cannibalistic faerie from hunting her own in the mortal world.

When her twin sister Taryn shows up asking of a favor, Jude jumps at the chance to return to the Faerie world, even if it means facing Cardan, who she loves despite his betrayal.

When a dark curse is unveiled, Jude must become the first mortal Queen of Faerie and uncover how to break the curse, or risk upsetting the balance of the whole Faerie world.

Bring Me Their Hearts, Tome 2 : Find Me Their Bones de Sara Wolf

Synopsis

Lecture VO

No one can save her.

In order to protect Prince Lucien d’Malvane’s heart, Zera had to betray him. Now, he hates the sight of her. Trapped in Cavanos as a prisoner of the king, she awaits the inevitable moment her witch severs their magical connection and finally ends her life.
But fate isn’t ready to give her up just yet.

With freedom coming from the most unlikely of sources, Zera is given a second chance at life as a Heartless. But it comes with a terrible price. As the king mobilizes his army to march against the witches, Zera must tame an elusive and deadly valkerax trapped in the tunnels underneath the city if she wants to regain her humanity.

Winning over a bloodthirsty valkerax? Hard. Winning back her friends before war breaks out? A little harder.

But a Heartless winning back Prince Lucien’s heart?
The hardest thing she’s ever done.

Festival New Romance, The Rose en concert, lectures, favoris & autres : Bilan de Novembre 🌾

Le mois de Novembre aura été très chargé pour moi, pourtant je n’ai pas eu l’impression que le temps passait trop vite (comme ça avait été le cas en Octobre). Et avoir un mois aussi chargé m’a fait tellement de bien mentalement, bien plus que je ne le pensais.

J’avoue que maintenant je me sens un peu vide puisque je n’ai rien de prévu en Décembre, mais j’attends de voir ce que le mois me réserve.

Alex Stern, Tome 1 : Ninth House de Leigh Bardugo

Synopsis

Lecture VO

The mesmerizing adult debut from #1 New York Times bestselling author Leigh Bardugo

Galaxy “Alex” Stern is the most unlikely member of Yale’s freshman class. Raised in the Los Angeles hinterlands by a hippie mom, Alex dropped out of school early and into a world of shady drug dealer boyfriends, dead-end jobs, and much, much worse. By age twenty, in fact, she is the sole survivor of a horrific, unsolved multiple homicide. Some might say she’s thrown her life away. But at her hospital bed, Alex is offered a second chance: to attend one of the world’s most elite universities on a full ride. What’s the catch, and why her?

Still searching for answers to this herself, Alex arrives in New Haven tasked by her mysterious benefactors with monitoring the activities of Yale’s secret societies. These eight windowless “tombs” are well-known to be haunts of the future rich and powerful, from high-ranking politicos to Wall Street and Hollywood’s biggest players. But their occult activities are revealed to be more sinister and more extraordinary than any paranoid imagination might conceive.
