     - Continue where Wednesday ended.
     - Very interesting and fun adventures. The main characters weren't sure whom to trust.

  4. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J.K. Rowling

     - The last showdown. It would be better if Malfoy had joined Harry's side, he could have been redeemed.
     - There are parts when the story could have been cut, I think. I think that the first 3 books are the best.
• Manga:
  
  1. Yona, Princesse de l'Aube 3 by Mizuho Kusanagi - in French
     - Even though Soo-won is on the cover, Hak is on the inside cover! The cover designer is partial to Hak :P

  7. Dix-huit and Vingt ans story by Johan, art by Zhena - in French
     - I read it on webtoon and saw that it's licensed in French. So, I got them, but left them on tbr pile until now.
     - Cats, lots of cats in different poses :)
     - The story is about 2 young adults, trying to find out what they'll do with their future. They both love cats and feed stray cats in the neighborhood. Some people don't like that because that will attract cats to the neighborhood ... conflicts.
