Readathon de printemps 2020

Grâce au confinement j'ai pu participer pour la première fois que Readathon organisé par TwoFaceLizzie (sans le confinement j'étais à New York à m'embêter, ça aurait été dommage).

J'avais choisi le menu de 6h (vu que j'ai des problèmes de concentration) et j'ai pu lire un roman, deux bandes dessinées achetées à Montreuil et un album :

Percy Jackson, le sort du Titan (Rick Riordan)


Ingrid Chabbert et Léa Mazé (Dargaud)


Laura Nsafou (Cambourakis)

Never a hero - Vanessa Len

Image
  Thanks to NetGalley and publisher for the arc! This is the second volume of the Monsters trilogy by Vanessa Len (I assume it's a trilogy), the first was Only a Monster that I also read thanks to NetGalley. I had given it 5 stars and I was a little afraid to read the second volume, but it was really great! I had so much fun reading it and found myself reading it instead of sleeping. Without spoilers, I can say that it was interesting to see the characters from the first book in another environment, and I think that the author understands perfectly the world and rules she has created. And now for the spoilers! Joan was so clueless that it became funny. She didn't notice A THING while Nick saw everything, and the only explanation she found was that Nick had been trained to be a monster hunter and that had stayed within him in the new timeline. Maybe, but still, Joan, you're just not very observant. Oh, unless it's for noticing how handsome Nick and Aaron are. Joan, focu

Come Home Safe - Brian G. Buckmire

Image
  I gave this book 4 stars because I feel it is very important in our society, whatever the country. The author wants to give keys to Black people as how to navigate a world where racism and police brutality are so prevalent. As a novel, it isn't a really captivating or groundbreaking but I still feel it is a read that every non-white person should have. White people too, of course, to really understand how pernacious racism is. I wish the book was better written and the dialogues were more realistic, especially for young teenagers, but it still gave a good idea of what can happen to any non white person in the public space. Thanks to NetGalley and to the publisher for this eArc. Rep: Black people cast, mixed race kids TW: police brutality, violence, gaslighting, racism

Infinity Gate - M.R. Carey

Image
  Merci à NetGalley et à la ME pour ce SP (English below) J'avais déjà lu (et abandonné) un livre de cet auteur, Celle qui a tous les dons , mais j'avais vu la critique de l'excellente booktubeuse Willow sur sa chaîne Books and Bao qui m'avait vraiment intriguée, donc quand j'ai vu Infinity Gate sur NetGalley, je n'ai pas hésité. L'histoire est narrée à la première personne sans qu'on ne sache qui est lae  narrateurice, qui va présenter trois personnes : Hadiz Tambuwal, Topaz Tourmaline et Essien Nkanika. On rencontre d'abord Hadiz qui, dans une vaine tentative de sauver le monde qu'elle habite, va découvrir par hasard l'existence d'autres mondes, d'autres Terres, ainsi que le Pandominium, un consortium d'un nombre incalculable de mondes parallèles. Le principe du Pandominium m'a paru fascinant ! Dans ce tome, on voit un peu son fonctionnement, surtout celui de son armée, et le début de la guerre contre un consortium de monde
