20 minutes

for the "feeling of jubilation" it provides and its romantic breath that "borders on perfection".

"What pleasure and what pride"

Asked this Tuesday by

20 Minutes

, Estelle Tolliac is "delighted and honored" by this selection.

“I see that I rub shoulders with big names like those of Virginie Grimaldi, Victor Dixen or Riad Sattouf (in other categories than mine).

For me, a great reader of all kinds, what pleasure and what pride!

"

But for the novelist, also a high school teacher in Haute Savoie, it is also a new opportunity to make 

Noir de Lune

and its

Bleu de Lune

suite known

, “because 2020 and 2021 are very complex years to go ahead of its readership ”.

A single award-winning book in each of the ten categories

Babelio has selected a hundred books in total, ten works in ten different categories: French literature, foreign literature, non-fiction, detective novel and thriller, fantasy literature, romance novel, children's literature, young adult literature, comic strip , manga.

The reward for each of the ten winners?

A nice highlight through "a wrapping campaign of 100,000 postings over three weeks on Babelio" and "an e-mailing sent to the 530,000 newsletter subscribers" of the site.

And even if

Noir de Lune

does not win in its category (which we dare not imagine, thanks to you), Estelle Tolliac's book will remain "highlighted on the home page and in the menu. de Babelio during the six months following the award ceremony ”, like the 90 other finalists.

Last year, more than 11,500 readers voted to elect the ten winners.

And it is Pénélope Bagieu for her adaptation of

Sacred Sorceress
