[Aya]

One of my resolutions is to start reading books in spanish :D

[Hiba]

Well, my resolutions for this year is challenging myself by upgrading the amount of books I'm gonna read inshaAllah, maybe reading in more languages other than Arabic-French-English. And finally, focusing more on my "novel" project. :')

[Ibtissam]

my resolution for this year is to read books about the history of the world

[Naïma]

Hello! One of my resolutions for 2017 is to write and publish weekly a blog post, on the blog I share with some friends. That will require discipline, ideas, planification and above all to overcome procrastination :-)

Hello Ibtissam. It is not a literary or a bookish blog. It is a rather random blog that was recently founded by a group of friends, all girls, who studied together 30 years ago... This is the link : https://flemiblog.wordpress.com/

Hi Aya!
I'll keep it simple and give you this title :
Como agua para chocolate

Great choice! It's been ages a long time since I decided that I wanna read it :D Thanks for reminding me

[Aya]

Abdel wrote: "Hello

I think we messed up the order a little bit but anyway, I guess I'll have to recommend to Abdel. Now since you claim to like Romance and History, I chose you the perfect book that combines both, along with mystery and suspense. It's one of my favourite books even though I'm not into Romance, it's called Bridge of Scarlet Leaves, the blurb doesn't do it full justice so please don't judge it upon that :D

Ce qui me laisse à recommander un livre pour toi Ibtissam. Which was not easy since History was my pet peeve back at school lol But! I went through some popular world history books et j'ai choisi celui-ci, A Little History of the World car il me parait de bonne consistance sans être trop lourd ;)

Hello dear Sophia. J'ai longuement hésité sur le livre à te recommander, j'avais opté finalement pour le livre de Stephen King sur l'écriture parce que j'adore Stephen King, je trouve qu'il a une imagination fabuleuse et le livre a de bonnes critiques. Et puis heureusement j'ai vérifié et tu es déjà en train de le lire :-).
Le livre que je t'ai choisi est finalement un roman que j'ai lu et qui n'est pas du tout un livre de conseils pour avoir plus d'imagination, mais est écrit par un spécialiste de l'imagination débridée et décomplexée, j'ai nommé Terry Pratchett avec "Timbré" ou Going Postal en anglais si tu préfères le lire en VO.

[Sophia]

Coucou Naima !
Effectivement, je suis toujours en train de lire "on writing" de Stephen King. J'aime beaucoup cet auteur mais ce livre là it's reaally giving me a hard time, ça parle plus de lui que de l'écriture en soi XD

Merci pour ta suggestion! Je ne connais pas cet auteur, je suis très curieuse de le découvrir. J'ai trouvé la traduction en français, I'm gonna go with this one :D

Ah oui c'est vrai je l'ai pas trouvé en ebook non plus!
Je vais te recommander un autre titre alors, l'un des meilleurs polars que j'ai jamais lu avec une intrigue impeccable : il s'appelle Eh bien, ma jolie, en anglais Well now, my pretty par James Hadley Chase. Tu le trouveras en pdf sur google (mais en anglais) Bonne lecture! :D

Hello Ibtissam. J'ai commencé le roman (en retard!). Ça me plaît bien pour le moment, quelques passages sur l'ecriture sont marquants. L'intrigue me fait penser à du Guillaume Musso. Bye!
