5 books to read in winter
janvier 26, 2020
Hi everyone!
I come back today with a selection of 10 books to read in winter. Indeed, at the moment, I have only one desire: to be in my bed with a good book. So I selected 10 books perfect for the season.
1. The Truth about the Harry Quebert affair - Joël Dicker
I red this book last winter, that's why I can assure that it's an ideal book for the period. It's very simple: once the novel opened, it's impossible to close it without having finished it! As you probably know, the story is an exciting investigation: new suspects appear in every chapter, new clues are discovered, the narrator is threatened, his friend is accused… You never get bored with this book and I really liked it!
2. The casual vacancy - J.K Rowling
I don't need to introduce you this author: you all know Harry Potter. But have you ever heard about The casual vacancy? This book was first published under a pseudonym, allowing J.K Rowling to detach herself from her sucessful saga. Personally, I discovered it knowing that she was the author and I really liked it. It's an intense novel, with a solid scenario and a lot of interesting characters. It's the perfect novel to keep company by the fireside!
3. Optimists die first - Susin Nielsen
If this book is in this selection, it's mainly due to its characters: they are so adorable that you can only love them! Of course, they are not perfect but as the novel goes by, you will see them face their fears, their lies, their family… It's moving and also funny to see them evolve. If we read this book quickly, it's not only because it's short, but also because it's very good!
4. Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen
The story of this novel is apparently a marriage: is the heroine Elizabeth Bennett in love with the rich and proud Darcy? Behind this intrigue which seems simple, it's in reality a whole analysis of psychology and customs in society that Jane Austen shows in all subltety. It's a cult novel that immerses us in Victorian England! As a big fan of Downton Abbey, I liked a lot this book!
5. The Shining - Stephen King
The Shining is a masterpiece often cited as Stephen King's best book. Perfect for winter, this book immerses us in an icy astmosphere, in the heart of an haunted hostel. When I red it for the first time, I was totally scared, I still wonder how I managed to finish it!
Do you know these books? What do you think about them? Which books do you like to read in winter? Tell me everything in the comments!
