    I started The Wonderful Wizard of Oz this morning :3 It's actually a book that I'm reading for my Creative Writing class, because I'm going to write a modern adult Alice (from Alice in Wonderland) that will end in Oz instead of Wonderland :D I finished both stories of Alice yesterday, also in English :P

    Hi everyone ! I just finished Sidhe 2, by Sandy Williams. I've half read it in french then in english, and I was more involved with the english part. It was a good book and I'll try to read the last book of the trilogy next month.

    For my actually readings, I've started Allegiant by Veronica Roth, and L'autre T2 by Pierre Bottero.
    Have a nice week !

    [offtopic] you say: My current reading / I'm currently reading

    Actually means something else than "Actuellement" ;) It's a false-friend :) It's more like : "En fait" "Vraiment", "En réalité" [end of offtopic]


    I've finished The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, and now I'm not really reading anything, I'm more reading stuff for my research paper about Creative Writing, and it's very interesting :3

    I'm currently reading Les Fiancés de l'hiver, wrote by Christelle Dabos. It's a very good book, even if there are some repetitions sometimes, which disturb me a little.
    I've already read three books in original version, namely Love Letters to the Dead by Ava Dellaira, which was easier to read than what I thought (same title in french), The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky (which is "Le monde de Charlie" in french) which was a little more complicated than I anticipated, but I get it all nonetheless. And, the last, Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Saenz (same name but translated in french), which made me cry a little... Even the language fence didn't keep my tears from falling down. :'(
    And i'm currently reading "Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children", too. It's really complicated to understand sometimes, but I'm convinced that I can read it ! :D

    I finished yesterday the first book of the serie Les aventuriers de la mer, written by Robin Hobb. I really appreciated it because this writer is able to make me feel feelings and emotions for every character and it is one of things in books that I like the most : feel like characters ... So, in this book, there is many long descriptions but I think it is necessary to make living the characters.

    I'm currently reading two others books : Et soudain tout change and Les Hauts de Hurlevent. Two books totally differents ! I appreciate the Emily Bronte's book but the language put some distance between the characters and me and the descriptions seems to me a bit long sometimes. The plot (l'intrigue ?) is long to arrive in my mind but when we have a little view of this, it seems really interesting and I really want to know how could this family explose.

    The second book has more echo in me : I recognize me in some passages and the character are charming in their recklessness punctuated by many adult questions about life, future and disease ...

    This topic is really interesting for me : I have to train myself to speak English because I have difficulties in this language and I hope I didn't do too many faults :p.
    Have a nice day !
