The World's Even Dumber Criminals: Unbelievable True Tales of Crime Gone Wrong by Duncan McKenzie

hopeful informative lighthearted fast-paced

4.0

It's a collection of short stories being 1 or 2 pages maximum each- all following a theme of burglary going wrong. As you can guess, human's stupidity really is something.. and I gotta say that's hilarious 😆 Many times have I giggled to myself or facepalmed inward. 

At first I thought it was gonna be read in no time, which I don't really like to read a book too fast, but I was wrong! despice it being multiple stories that gets read pretty fast, it lasted longer that I pictured it at first.
A slight too long for my taste however. 

The Wall of Winnipeg and Me by Mariana Zapata

I loved how their relationship progressed, it was adorable! Specially the scene in the elevator at the beginning of it- while i’m not really scared of the dark, I am claustrophobic, so the thought of being stuck in an elevator for a while? That’s it. i’m out.

J’ai adorée, avec une bonne dose d’humour! 

Uninvited: Living Loved When You Feel Less Than, Left Out, and Lonely by Lysa TerKeurst
Did not finish book. Stopped at 21%.

Didn’t read the synopsis all the way through… WAY too much quotation of god for me, being a non-believer. 

Disfigured: On Fairy Tales, Disability, and Making Space by Amanda Leduc
Did not finish book. Stopped at 22%.

Too long chapters, not what I thought it would be. I was expecting remade fairytales with added disability rep; less explaining. 

Share Your Stuff. I'll Go First.: 10 Questions to Take Your Friendships to the Next Level by Laura Tremaine

informative inspiring reflective

4.5

I’m both an oversharer & a nosey person.. so I quite liked this one! She mixed a few lists aswell as 10 questions to make you think about yourself, and her own answers. Furthermore, in the start of the book she spoke a bit more about oversharing on her momma’s blog; which I could quite relate to!

YouTumeurs : L'idéologie du mal | Partie 1 by Dave Turcotte Lafond

Mon préféré! J’aime comment on comprend les évènements des autres livres en en apprenant plus sur Nathan & sa back story.

Je cravais de retourner dans les personages masqués de youTumeurs. 

J’avais comprit depuis le debut du jeu avec les deux A ce qu’était le mot.. oh my god que la realisation le pogne juste a la fin!
L’ironie pareil venant de celui qui disait jamais ne pouvoir virer fou sur cette chanson.. 💀 il s’est vu avoir tord sur un moyen temps

No Judgments by Meg Cabot

4.0

I love the instant connexion between Bree & Drew- and I gotta say I love how he calls her Freshwater 🥰 the longing & mutual pining was so good it diverted me from it being a slow start into business- the rescuing of people’s animals.

Before the Coffee Gets Cold by Toshikazu Kawaguchi

Not guaranteed i’d read the others, as i’m not a serie person- maybe off libby or if I find pretty editions like this one! We’ll see!

The one question that didn’t got answered by the end though, is who the spirit of the girl in the dress from the chair was?
