Unfortunately, I don't know where the video comes from, so I can't give credit, i'm sorry :(

Personnellement, elle me paraît plutôt pas mal, les seuls livres de la liste que je n'ai pas lu étant adolescente, sont:

https://archive.is/CNdTw ( c'est un article du Figaro.)

- Siddhartha (Hermann Hesse)

- La vie Devant Soi ( Romain Gary)

- La Jarre d’Or ( Raphaël Confiant)

- Tristan et Iseut

( Notre-Dame De Paris me paraît trop mâture pour un public adolescent, je trouve.)

J'aimerais beaucoup rajouter dans la liste: ( Bien sûr, ce n'est pas une obligation de les lire, mais ça peut potentiellement intéresser certaines personnes.)

- Rouge Brésil (Jean-Christophe Rufin) ( Plutôt attendre 15 ans car le sujet abordé est plutôt dur.)

- Alice Au Pays Des Merveilles (Lewis Caroll) ( et la suite De l'Autre Côté Du Miroir)

- Un Chant De Noël ( Charles Dickens)

- La saga La Sélection ( Kiera Cass) ( j'avais bien aimé le livre "La Sirène" également)

- La Rivière à l'Envers ( Jean-Claude Mourlevat)

- Stupeur et Tremblements ( Amélie Nothomb)

- Les Contes Fantastiques ( Edgar Allan Poe) ( Personnellement, je les avais étudiés vers 14-15 ans mais certains sont plus dérangeants que d'autres.)

- La Tresse ( Laetitia Colombani)

- Petit Pays ( Gaël Faye) Comme le sujet est sensible, peut-être attendre d'avoir 17 ou 18 ans pour le lire.

- Le Songe d'Une Nuit d'Été ( William Shakespeare) ( Une des seule pièce de Shakespeare qui n'est pas une tragédie et que j'avais adoré.)

- La Mort Du Roi Tsongor ( Laurent Gaudé) ( Je l'avais lu à 15 ans.)

- Oliver Twist ( Charles Dickens)

- La saga Eragon ( Christopher Paolini)

- Le Petit Prince ( Antoine de Saint-Exupéry)

- l'Histoire Sans Fin (  Michael Ende)

- Moi, Simon, 16 ans, Homo sapiens ( Becky Albertalli)

- la saga Heartstopper ( Alice Oseman)

- l'Île Au Trésor ( Robert Louis Stevenson)

- Sans Famille ( Hector Malot)

- Mary Poppins ( Pamela L. Travers)

- Les Aventures De Sherlock Holmes ( Arthur Conan Doyle)

- Toutes les sagas de Pierre Botero ( Ewilan, Ellana: Le Pacte Des Marchombres...)

- La saga Le Château Des Étoiles ( Alex Alice)

- Anne Et La Maison Aux Pignons Verts ( Lucy M. Montgomery)

- Orgueil Et Préjugés ( Jane Austen)

- La saga Percy Jackson ( et en général toutes les sagas de Rick Riordan)

- La Fiancée Du Dieu De La Mer ( Axie Oh) ( Livre magnifique, dont l'histoire est basée sur des mythes coréens avec une ambiance douce qui fait penser aux films Guibli. Il y a de la magie et une romance toute douce.)

- Second Summer Never See You Again ( Akagi Hirotaka) ( Histoire profondément poignante. Il y a seulement deux tomes, parfaits pour une lecture intense et rapide. On navigue entre sourires partagés et fatalité médicale. je pense qu'en raison de certains passages du manga, peut-être le lire vers 15-16 ans mais ce n'est pas obligatoire, les lecteurs ciblés ont entre 12 et 14 ans. Personnellement, je l'ai lu à 15 ans.)

- Contes de Grimm

- Contes de Perrault

- Contes d'Andersen

- Toutes les sagas de Victor Dixen ( Phobos, Vampyria, Extincta...) (Tous ses livres sont géniaux! Il y en a pour tous les gouts, entre magie et aventures, tousses livres ouvrent des portes différentes et certains de ses livres ont été adaptés en romans graphiques.)

- Croc- Blanc ( Jack London)

- l'Appel De La Forêt ( Jack London)

- Le Royaume De Kensuké ( Michael Morpurgo)

- Des Livres de Roald Dahl ( J'avais bien aimé: Matilda, Charlie et la Chocolaterie, Le BGG, James Et La Grosse Pêche, Charlie Et Le Grand Ascenseur De Verre.)

- Le Livre de la jungle (Rudyard Kipling)

- La Métamorphose ( Frantz Kafka) ( Plutôt une édition jeunesse)

- Les Livres de la Comtesse de Ségur ( Les malheurs de Sophie, Un bon petit diable...)

- La saga La Passe-Miroir ( Christelle Dabos) ( Je la recommande tout le temps tellement elle est incroyable!)

- Le Hobbit (J.R.R Tolkien)

- la saga Le Labyrinthe ( James Dashner) ( À lire si vous aimez les dystopies et la saga " Hunger Games".) ( Plutôt attendre 14-15 ans pour la lire, je pense, car ce n'est pas trop joyeux.)

Voilà! :) C'était tout pour cette sélection! :) ça me fait plaisir de parler également de livres jeunesses car je suis une étudiante en fac de lettres et parfois nous étudions nous-même des livres jeunesses. :)

De plus étant une grande soeur de 21 ans, Je me suis permise de recommander des livres que ma petite soeur de 14 ans aime bien ( et que j'avais lu aussi.) :)

N'hésitez pas si vous avez d'autres recommandations :)

Here are a few books to read if you enjoyed these video games. :)

Detroit Become Human:

- Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? ( Philip K. Dick)

This is the definitive masterpiece that inspired Blade Runner and laid the groundwork for stories like Detroit: Become Human. The story is about a bounty hunter tracking down escaped Nexus-6 androids who look and act exactly like humans. It shares the game's core focus on empathy tests, androids passing as human, and the blurred lines between biological and synthetic life.

- Ancillary Justice ( Ann Leckie)

The story features a unique AI protagonist who used to control a massive spaceship and thousands of android soldier bodies, but is now trapped in a single human body seeking revenge. It offers a deep dive into fragmented AI identity, autonomy, and fighting against an oppressive empire.

- Sea of Rust ( C. Robert Cargill)

A gritty, post-apocalyptic novel set in a world where humanity is extinct and robots won the war, only to face their own survival crisis. It follows a scavenger android in a lawless wasteland, capturing the darker, survivalist side of a machine uprising.

- Klara And The Sun ( Kazuo Ishiguro)

This story is told from the perspective of an "Artificial Friend" chosen to be a companion for a sick human teenager. It explores themes of devotion, obsolescence, and whether an AI can truly replicate human love and soul.

The Last Of Us

- The Road ( Cormac McCarthy)

This masterpiece is the primary blueprint and direct inspiration for the relationship between Joel and Ellie. It follows a father and his young son walking through a burned, ash-covered America while avoiding cannibalistic scavengers.

- The Passage ( Justin Cronin)

It's an epic sci-fi thriller where a government experiment gone wrong unleashes terrifying, vampire-like infected creatures. It features an FBI agent who goes rogue to protect a young, special girl named Amy who might hold the cure to the virus.

- The Girl with All the Gifts ( Mike Carey)

This is the closest thematic match to the game, featuring a world destroyed by a mutated cordyceps-like fungus. We follow a teacher and a soldier escorting a young infected girl who retains her human consciousness and might hold the key to a vaccine. This book captures the exact moral dilemma of the game's ending regarding what humanity is willing to sacrifice for a cure.

- Wanderers ( Chuck Wendig)

A gripping pandemic thriller where a mysterious illness causes people to sleepwalk in an unbreakable, collective flock across America. It's about s a protective older sister guiding her afflicted sibling, combined with scientists racing against time to figure out the outbreak.

Doki Doki Literature Club

- House of Leaves ( Mark Z. Danielewski)

This is the ultimate "corrupted medium" horror masterpiece that mirrors the game's glitched code and file manipulation. The physical book itself requires you to flip it upside down, read footnotes within footnotes, and decode hidden text as a house impossibly grows on the inside.

It shares the game's ability to make you feel like the piece of media you are holding is actively haunted or changing.

- If on a Winter's Night a Traveler ( Italo Calvino)

I talk about this book because it's a classic piece of metafiction written in the second person, addressing you directly as "the Reader." Every time you start a new chapter, the book gets interrupted by "glitches," corporate conspiracies, or printing errors, forcing you to chase the real story. It matches the game's unique focus on self-awareness and interacting directly with the audience.

- Bunny ( Mona Awad)

It’s not a personal favorite, but I’m mentioning it because you might potentially like it. This novel feels exactly like joining a twisted, exclusive campus literature club. It follows a lonely writing student who gets sucked into a clique of overly sweet, pastel-wearing girls who call each other "Bunny" but hide a grotesque, occult secret. It captures the sharp, jarring shift from sugary schoolgirl tropes to severe psychological horror. To get a sense of this surreal, dark academia aesthetic, you can explore visual examples of the book's vibe online.

- Perfect Blue: Awaken from a Dream ( Yoshikazu Takeuchi) Ps: I loved the movie by Satoshi Kon!

This book is a psychological thriller that inspired the famous anime film about a pop idol transitioning into acting who loses her grip on reality. It tackles intense themes of obsession, stalkers, identity dissociation, and the terrifying pressure of performing a perfect persona. It mirrors Monika's desperate, suffocating obsession and the crumbling mental states of the club members.

Blasphemous

- Between Two Fires ( Christopher Buehlman) This is the closest thematic match to Cvstodia, set in 1348 during the Black Plague, which is revealed to be a literal war between Angels and Demons. It follows a disgraced knight and a mysterious young girl on a pilgrimage through a nightmarish, apocalyptic medieval Europe filled with grotesque monsters and twisted miracles. I think this book mirrors the game's grim atmosphere, religious dread, and the concept of an entire world suffering under a divine curse.

- The Enterprise of Death ( Jesse Bullington)

This novel is A gritty, dark historical fantasy set during the Spanish Inquisition and Renaissance Europe.

It follows an enslaved necromancer on a desperate quest through a brutal world filled with occult magic, religious zealotry, and deep body horror. Plus, it shares the game's specific cultural roots in grim Iberian history and unflinching, bloody dark fantasy.

- The Book of the New Sun ( Gene Wolfe)

In this masterpiece, we follow Severian, a disgraced torturer exiled from his guild, wandering a dying, far-future world full of bizarre relics and ancient secrets. Like Blasphemous or Dark Souls, the world is incredibly deep but tells its story cryptically through item descriptions and environmental clues rather than direct exposition. The book matches the game's somber tone, the protagonist's grim profession, and the feeling of exploring a world long past its golden age.

- Vampire Hunter D ( Hideyuki Kikuchi)

This one is a manga and it have an anime but it's my favorite of the list! It's a gothic sci-fi fantasy series following a lonely, silent dhampir (half-vampire) warrior who travels a desolate, monster-infested wasteland executing dark threats. I love it because It shows the silent, melancholic nature of The Penitent One and features stunning, baroque dark-fantasy imagery.

Bioshock

- Atlas Shrugged ( Ayn Rand)

This is the exact philosophical text that BioShock is parodying. The character Andrew Ryan is a literal anagram and ideological clone of Ayn Rand's ideals. The plot follows a group of brilliant capitalists and industrialists who abandon a crumbling society to build their own secret, unregulated utopia called "Galt's Gulch." Reading this book, gives you the exact blueprint for Rapture’s founding philosophy and lets you see exactly where Andrew Ryan’s "Great Chain" came from.

- The Deep ( Nick Cutter)

It's a psychological horror novel set inside a research station built at the very bottom of the Mariana Trench.It follows a scientist investigating a mysterious substance called "the Ambrosia" while the crew slowly loses their minds to madness and horrifying physical mutations.It perfectly mirrors the pitch-black, claustrophobic atmosphere of Rapture, the genetic decay of the Splicers, and the terrifying isolation of the ocean floor.

- Sphere ( Michael Crichton)

A sci-fi thriller about a team of scientists sent to a high-tech habitat at the bottom of the ocean to investigate a mysterious spacecraft. As they spend more time near a strange alien artifact, their deepest psychological fears and subconscious desires begin manifesting as deadly physical threats. It suit the game’s blend of hard science fiction, retro-cold war tension, and intense psychological paranoia.

- Snowpiercer ( Jacques Lob and Benjamin Legrand)

A graphic novel set inside a massive, luxury train carrying the last remnants of humanity through a frozen wasteland. The train is strictly divided by a brutal class system, where the elite live in decadence at the front and the poor starve at the back. It shares Rapture's concept of a self-contained, engineered ecosystem that collapses due to class warfare, human greed, and hubris.

That's all for these recommendations! :)

Maybe there will be a part 2! :)

I watched it when I was seven, and everything scared me. I don't have many memories of it, but just the faces of the rabbit and the Cheshire Cat played by Whoopi Goldberg, terrified me; I found it all a bit too scary. I haven't seen it recently, but I don't think I'm the only one who was traumatized.

I don't really collect Barbies, but here are the dolls I'd like to have. :)

In case you're wondering, I'm 21 years old. :)

- Barbie Marilyn Monroe in Gentleman Prefer Blondes

- Barbie Lucille Ball

Do you have these Barbie dolls? :)

I'm a bit too young to have children for now ( I'm 21) and I don't know if I'd want any, but managing to sew some would be incredible! Having bought this type of nightgown for myself, I find them very elegant.

Voici les séries que j'ai regardées cet été et que je continuerai à regarder (et que je regarde chaque été, comme Orgueil et Préjugés et H2O).

- The Other Bennet Sister ( Ai-je vraiment besoin d'en dire plus ? Ce fut le coup de foudre ! Pour tous les amoureux de Jane Austen et de orgueil et préjugés, foncez! Cette série n'est disponible qu'en anglais ou avec des sous-titres sur certaines plateformes.)

-Orgueil et Préjugés 1995 (L'une de mes séries préférées de tous les temps depuis mes 14 ans ! À mon avis, elle est meilleure que le film de 2005 ; tout est parfait !)

- La réceptionniste Pokémon ( Une série doudou en stop-motion pour tous les amoureux de séries cozy et de Pokémon.)

- Rilakkuma et Kaoru (Une de mes séries en stop-motion préférée!)

- Westworld ( Je ne regarde pas beaucoup de séries de science-fiction, mais Westworld est toujours incroyable!)

- Bridgerton (Désolée, je n'aime pas la saison 1, mais les saisons 2 et 4 sont mes préférées!)

- H2O ( Parce que cette série s'apprécie particulièrement en été ! Et puis, il y a des sirènes!)

- Anne With an E ( Dans mon top 10 des meilleures séries ! Les paysages sont fantastiques et cette série apporte un vent d'air frais!)

- Black Mirror ( Je ne sais pas pourquoi, mais je trouve que l'été est une excellente période pour regarder Black Mirror!)

- The Night Manager, saison 2 ( J'adore cette série ! Tom Hiddleston est toujours parfait, mais je l'aime un peu moins que la première saison.)

- A Cruel Love, The Ruth Ellis Story ( Une série difficile mais intéressante, basée sur l'histoire vraie de Ruth Ellis, une femme en avance sur son temps qui, après avoir tué son partenaire, est devenue la dernière victime de la pendaison au Royaume-Uni.)

- Miss Scarlet and The Duke ( C'est l'une de mes séries préférées ; si vous aimez l'époque victorienne et les mystères, allez y jeter un œil! Le duo marche très bien et voir Miss Scarlet résoudre des enquêtes en bousculant les codes de son époque est très satisfaisant! Sur le site où je la regarde, la VF est disponible jusqu'à la saison 6.)

- Young Sherlock ( Étant une grand fan de Sherlock Holmes ; je craignais que ce ne soit que du « fan service » ou quelque chose du genre, au détriment de l'intrigue, mais j'adore!)

- The Curious Creations Of Christine McConnell ( Je sais que ce n'est pas la saison pour regarder ça mais j'adore!)

- Dickinson ( J'adore vraiment les poèmes d'Emily Dickinson, alors il fallait absolument que je regarde cette série ! Je n'en suis qu'à l'épisode 6 de la première saison pour l'instant, mais j'aime beaucoup!)

- Once Upon A Time, saison 3 ( J'adore toute la série mais la 3 est ma préférée!)

C'est tout pour mes séries de l'été ! :)

I'm still not sure about the title😅​

Part 1 here https://www.reddit.com/r/LovingMichaelJackson/s/nK0ZBktjwi

(Also for the last take, the music video adds a touch of class to the cover!🤭​)

Since I'm French, I thought it would be fun to put together a compilation of movies set in France. I hadn't realized there were so many!

I've wanted to play it for so long! :)

It's a fan art of Melody from The Little Mermaid and Jim Hawkins from Treasure Planet, but they look so much like Eren and Mikasa!

It was sent to me via WhatsApp, and since I don't have TikTok, I don't know who made the video, so I can't give them credit. :( If anyone recognizes the person, please let me know in the comments! :)

I don't think this is a "hot take", since a lot of people feel the same way, but a romantasy novel doesn't need spicy elements to be interesting.

Speaking for myself, I've never really liked spicy romantasy; ( just so you know, I'm 21).

I prefer the romance to remain very light. A book can be just as captivating thanks to a solid world and engaging characters, without needing to add a spicy romance.

I don't really like using the term "spicy," but you know what I mean.

Of course, I do read romantasy with romance, but as I said, I like it when it's very light or soft, sometimes even taking a backseat to the rest of the story. ( Because yes, there are romantasy where romance isn't the center of the story.)

Here are some romantasy titles featuring romance without spice.

Books featured:

- Caraval trilogy ( Stephanie Garber)

- An Enchantment Of Ravens ( Margaret Rogerson)

- Once Upon A Broken Heart trilogy ( Stephanie Garber)

- The Celestial Kingdom trilogy ( Sue Lynn Tan)

- Uncharmed ( Lucy Jane Wood)

- The Girl Who Fell Beneath The Sea ( Axie Oh)

I'm sorry if what I said was a bit muddled, but do you share my opinion? :)
