[En cours] Chall.Read in English 2024/Inscription édition 2025

Et comme annoncé en septembre, j'ai relu en VO
Pride & Prejudice de Jane Austen
coup de :heart: !!!
mais quel plaisir que de redécouvrir cette histoire dans sa langue originale avec des émotions encore plus fortes et une ironie encore plus prégnante !!! Tout m'a semblé décuplé. A quoi s'ajoute le fait que n'ayant pas relu le roman lui-même depuis 2012 (j'ai regardé plein d'adaptations diverses et variées et lu pas mal "d'austeneries" - des suites, des dérivés etc), j'avais oublié la narration qui nous fait voir autant les sentiments de Darcy  dès le début que l'évolution de ceux d'Elizabeth donc j'ai particulièrement apprécié de retrouver cette vision-là. Enfin la critique de la société ressort encore plus. Bref un régal !
(et LISEZ Jane Austen, c'est bien !)

Total : 4,5 (alors là je m'épate toute seule :lol: )

I really hope you'll keep the challenge going for next year. I really don't post as often as I should but i really like this challenge :)
This update is going to be quite small as i've recently read in french more, which is quite unusual :lol:

- Loveless d'Alice Oseman
First of all, i want to say i read a lot of reviews about this book and i know they are very mixed and some of them are pointing out the problems with this story and the representation.
I can't really agree or disagree because i'm not aro nor ace so i can't talk about it from that point of view.
I read this book because i actually wanted to understand more about this orientation and while i know Georgia's feelings and orientation doesn't mean all aro or ace people experience the exact same thing, i think it did a pretty good job at explaining at least some of it and it's still great to have that kind of representation in books because we definitely don't see it enough.
It was a bit simplistic at times and the other aro or ace characters were sadly only here to validate the main character but we didn't explore their experiences fully and that's a bit of a shame.
That being said, i'm still glad this book exists as it seems it has help some people feel understood and seen.

- You've reached Sam de Dustin Thao
While i feel like sometimes the story was dragging a bit and some conversations between Sam and Julie were playing on a loop, i liked the message the book was sending, talking about grief and how to learn how to let go. Some sentences really got through to me.

- The midnight library de Matt Haig
This book is exactly what i needed to read at this exact moment in my life.
Sure, some of it might feel a little cliché, but it did give me a perspective on life i didn't have before.
I think wondering what our lives might have been if we had made slightly different choices, some of them even minor, and getting to explore them, is extremely interesting.

- Buffy the Vampire Slayer, season 10, book 26 to 30
I like where this arc was going, the ending was a bit too easy and rushed but overall i enjoyed this season.

3 books and 5 comics : 22 + 7,5 = 29,5 points

Bonjour,

j'ai lu en majorité en novembre un policier qui est le deuxième tome d'une série.
The thirty miles trilogy tome 2 : and your enemies closer. https://www.livraddict.com/biblio/livre … loser.html

J'ai trouvé ce tome plus sombre que le premier, avec beaucoup de violence, En revanche, il y a tellement de personnages que je m'y perds un peu.
Mais bon, il y a les flics et les criminels, sauf que parmi les flics, il y a aussi des corrompus.

Score = 9

Quelle bonne nouvelle ! j'ai au moins 3 romans en VO de prévu pour l'an prochain alors ça va me motiver :D
Merci Frankie :bisous:
