What a good idea, a classic I never read yet. Will get it next.

I just (30’ ago) finished Le tueur intime, by Claire Favan. Since I’m French native speaker (Belgian), read it in French although I mostly read in English (but when the author is French, better to read the original version). My opinion is mixed, on the story itself, I never considered giving up, I wanted to learn what happens next so a good page turner. I, however, had more difficulties with the writing style which I do not enjoyed that much. I also found that there was a bit too much repeated details on the crimes. After finishing it, I thought that the hero found too easily the solution and that some stuff were poorly studied by the author and thus there was a lack of realism.

What’s next, I don’t know, maybe I will (as often) find it in this community ;)

Just finished Trust, by Hernan Diaz. I read it without looking up at summaries or so before and at first I was a bit disappointed by the first part (and even asked myself if it would not be a dnf). But when I discovered there was 4 parts in this book, progressively revealing the facts, I told myself “what a great piece of literature it is”. This is just a real performance for the author to write in 4 different style as if the part were written by different people with the key markers of each type of writing.

Just started The Whisperer, by Donato Carrisi.

Just finished Trust based on this comment advice. I read it without looking up at summaries or so before and at first I was a bit disappointed by the first part (and even asked myself if it would not be a dnf).

Thanks for this advice, my first reading during my vacation and it was a real piece of artwork.

Just finished The midwife of Auschwitz, by Anna Stuart. Very good, very emotional, just loved this book.

For now, I search for something lighter for the vacation (and not too complex to follow because during vacations, I’m frequently interrupted in the reading). I don’t see something in my to read pile, so I’ll look in this post or older. But if someone have an advice…

If it has to be water resistant, why using chalk instead of paint? Real question, not trying to make fun.

I just started Never Flinch, by Stephen King. I’m an absolute fan of Stephen King, so I couldn’t not start reading it.
