Algerian Bookworms discussion

Hey everyone! sooo have you guys started reading this one? I personally haven't yet, but I will be attacking it soon later on.
PS: SSHHTTT Don't post any spoilers! At least not until the 28th. xD

Okay, no spoilers. I didn't start either maybe in the coming days, but i took quick look since i didn't read a graphic novel before and from the first look it is kinda for young people no

I've already read this once, can't really remember it that well, but I remember I was really fond of it! So I told my 27 year old friend to read it, and he seemed to really enjoy it as well. So give it ago! you might end up liking it!

Sure, I will!

:) :) a bit of advice Hamza, a book written with illustration doesn't necessarily mean it's destined for children.

our society tend infantilize such genres, Yet I find that I sometimes appreciate that kind of story telling ex: history books with illustration. it really helps me visualize the scenery or the events in the past.

really helpful and at the same tie visually pleasing !!

@ Liela, hahahaha I avoid using children book, as I know that you have an algery for that kind of judgment. Actually I didn't judge the book with its cover, I read the first 25 page before I post that. But i am willing to read it, to be a part of the group activies. it is not possible to ask people to be active and then run away xD

Are you talking about "Through the woods"? I just finished. It was a quick read, but I advise you to read it at night when everybody is sleeping with some spooky BGM.

Wafa, Yes exactly that’s why I picked it up, so that more ppl can join in since it literally doesn’t take that much time. I’m so excited to hear your opinion! But not just yet 🤫

Any updates guys?

i'm in 130/202 pages

Hamza.... you and my name "@ Liela" xD /i've had it mispronounced, miswritten soo many time that I've lost count by now haha

for the running part, I am deeply sorry I was under some life pressure as always (story of my life) that I've just didn't have the energy to check any of my notif. Hope I can be forgiven

as for the book I'm starting it tonight, I'll try to challenge myself to finish it this very night... hopefully I'll commit this time because it's getting ridiculous how many DNF books I have these two months...

I'll have my notebook and pencil ready to write well detailed critic.. brace yourselves !

PS: if I finish the book xD

xDD I’m not that good with reviews so I’m excited to read yours. Btw you can totally finish it in one sitting.

Ohh great that's my kind of book!

and btw Yasmine, I was terrible with reviews, trust me xD the only words I knew where "Amazing book" "shocking book" and my favorite "this a great book" xD it was ridiculous

but I trained myself to be more expressive and just annotating my books continuously so at the end, I can formulate a full opinionated review based on my feelings throughout the whole book.

so I totally urge you to do the same next time, especially if you have a paperback at home, train yourself because once you go to university you need to write full 20 pages essays and those are terrible if you have not practiced befor !

Oooh trust me when it comes to essays, even I can’t stop myself from writing xD But that’s only because I’m forced to. On the other hand, when it comes to books I usually tend to be lazy xD but still, I’ll try to write more detailed ones^^

Heyy guyss! So I’ll be sharing my review.

So as I said this is my second time reading it, yet I felt relatively the same excitement as I did in my first reading. It’s very rare that I can be entertained this much by a book! It wasn’t scary at al’ but it was exciting and thrilling. I might have to say that I couldn’t understand the second story, the lady with the cold hands...does it mean she died? I think both the first and the second ones were about death, what do you guys think? Anyways my least favorite one was the fourth one I think, Janna and her friend, that one was pretty expected and wasn’t as enjoyable as the others. And don’t even get me started with the illustrations! I throughly enjoyed turning the (electronic) papers and they were probably the first thing that grabbed my attention. Anyways I’ll give this one, yet again 4/5. Waiting for your reviews!

hahaha, I didn't notice that til now :)

I just finish the book and I am not gonna put any review since I didn't find it my type of books, so any review of mine will be unfair.
@ Yasmine, thanks for the review and I think that Leila is right about reviews, I write them for myself more than for people to read xD, trying to make a conclusion of what I read, what I learned, what I liked ......

Hey Wafa, I tried your advice and the stories scare the hell out of me xD " No, It Didn't" :D, Happy that you enjoy it!

When I read the first two stories I was trying to link events thinking that they were connected somehow, the cold lady in the second story is the mysterious person with the cold hand in the first but, after reading the rest; it appears that they are separate stories and most of them with an open ending ( I hate that xD).
What about the last one, I didn't get it and I was too lazy to re-read it !?

Hamza noo haha As I said the lady might have died because the woman that was hidden inside castle had cold hands too and she was already dead, so that’s why I jumped to my conclusion. What about the last story? The girl and her brother and his fiancé right? I think it’s obvious she found out that her brother was a monster as well.

The last one is the girl and wolves I think, no!

I don’t think it’s the last one. I guess it’s just to end the book, it’s the same one they started it with.

why? like, stay tuned for the next episode or what! 😁
