Bastien et Mathis: les orphelins Andersen by Yvan Godbout

3.0

Non mais what? C'est quoi cette fin, qui me semble precipitée?!
J'ai bien aimer le cote paranormal, l'homophobie un peu moins.. l'action tarde a s'en venir- un peu trop.

A nice mix of astrology and cats- truly a fan of these healing fiction. I've learned plenty of astrology in this book, making me curious about my own charts!

The adrenaline!! 

I don’t think i’ve ever read anything as fast before! Now to nicely tie the bow, I kinda wanna watch as above so below again 🙈 only down point from me, being a native french, was the misspelled words I found through the book; I can tell no native speaker spoof-read before publishing.

J'ai toujours voulu faire de l'urbex, ce livre a étancher ma soif a cet egard! Je ne m'attendait pas a la suite, mais je doit dire que c'était coherent et bien placé! Sa joue sur une de nos peur lorsque l'on voyage, assurement s'a avais sa place dans un Destination Extreme!

All the Bright Places by Jennifer Niven

5.0

(Reread). I was shocked by how much of the story I remembered! It hit me so much different as I wasn’t in this dark place anymore like when I first read it- but I found myself loving the same quotes that I picked at first anyway.. and I still got a thing for damaged boy Finch.
