A clipped screenshot of my Goodreads 2022 Reading Challenge page that shows that I've completed 60 out of 60 books.

I hit my Reading Challenge target this morning when I finished #ForceOfNature by #JaneHarper. Now I am curled up with the first of my #LibraryBooks : #EnolaHolmes:TheCaseOfTheLeft-handedLady by #NancySpringer. Delightful as ever so far.

Can you believe its December already? The end of the year is fast approaching and it looks like you haven't hit your reading goal 😕. But don't fret! Not only you still have time but they are plenty of short but compelling reads that will help you crush your reading challenge!

I have a feeling I'm going to be going right to the wire with this year's reading challenge on Goodreads. Presently on my 42nd book, with a target of 52. Eek. Best get my skates on.

Just read the titular short story from Ken Liu’s _The Paper Menagerie_, and it left me teary-eyed and missing my parents. Liu’s a potent storyteller, and anybody interested in SFF needs to give him a shot if you haven’t already.

I read East of Eden, by John Steinbeck.

I loved it. That's one of my favorite book. The characters, the themes of the book, everything seems deeply human in that story.

I read The Seven Deadly Sins (🇯🇵 Nanatsu no Taizai), a manga written by Nakaba Suzuki.

In my humble opinion, it starts as a typical shonen, but the story is rich and the villains are (often, not always) interesting! I enjoyed it!

I read the Lanfeust of Troy series. A french comic that was quite popular back when I was a teenager.

A bit of nostalgia I guess. Also it's peak action through all the series. It's interesting story-telling wise.

I read the autobiography of the sister of the mother of my father. It's not a published book.

She was born in 1921 in France's countryside. It's very interesting (at least for me) because it's the story of my father's family, but also because it describes the typical life in France's countryside after WW I, during WW II, and after WW II.

I read Witches (🇫🇷 Sorcières), by Mona Chollet.

It's a very well-documented book about witch hunts and modern feminism. Truly interesting!

I'd complain about one thing though: it's the work of a journalist and not of a scientist, and I sometimes find the examples not convincing even if I agree with what is being said.

I read The Black Dahlia, by James Ellroy.

I took longer to read this one, I do not know if it's that I am not really into thrillers or if it is just that I had other things to do!

But the book is worth reading anyway! I liked it 🙂.

I read Cocoa, by Jorge Amado.

It's a small novel published in 1933. It expresses socialist ideas and speaks about class struggle.

I took it at random in the library but it is oddly very close to what I actually think!

I read Dune (the original novel), by Frank Herbert.

I somehow knew the universe because I read some prequel when I was young.

Well, I found it brilliant, I was totally addicted to it. It feels good to be addicted to something that does not want to sell your data (and maybe your soul).
