I loved the premise: a convent of Sisters (the Order of St Rita, no less!) travelling in a massive slug/spaceship, there was so much to love and expect. It was just a bit less exciting than I'd hoped, a bit less weird and quirky... Maybe it could have been more developed, a novel instead of a novella, so that we'd know more about all the sisters, not just through bits of backstory, but through what they do. Because even with the few reveals, it felt a bit flat, unfortunately.

Really well done whodunit with clones in a spaceship, with the backstories neatly and slowly exposed. My only regret is how some characters didn't get the same amount of backstory or details. But all in all, a really fun read.

A really well-written banger of a novel: it's mysterious, sexy, anchored in history. The characters aren't necessarily likeable at first, but their trajectory made of obsession, confusion, revenge and desire make for a incredibly compelling read. (I just have a minor qualm concerning one thing, but I can't say much without spoiling...)

Des tranches de vie de deux compagnes artistes vieillissantes qui se connaissent par cœur, dans la Finlande des années 70-80, décrite par touches impressionnistes. Une bonne approche de l’œuvre d'écrivaine de la créatrice des Moomins.

Really interesting memoirs and reflections from one of the most influential journalist and nonfiction writer in the US. The backstage of his greatest article "Frank Sinatra has a cold" is the best part of the book, but the last part drags on and on, while there's no denying Talese's love for New York and obscure details.

Great book, where the author reflects on what is a copy, what is an original, and all the nuances of life in between. It doesn't hurt that the narrator, despite the circumstances, is a strong and relatable young woman, in the middle of characters that are all interesting.

A really funny comedy about a young lesbian clown who's trying to figure out her life in central Florida. So while I'm still not too impressed by clowns in general, there were a lot a good musings about the art of clowning, about the parallels between being queer and a clown, about capitalism and central Florida. It felt at times like the narrator was more 18 than 28 in how she handled things, but maybe it's just me growing old—after all, I can't pretend I had my shit figured out at 28.
