WELCOME

Hi everyone! I’m Lucie, a 23 years old French girl who lives in Paris. I mainly post about books on my blog, as well as all the things I’m obsessed with, which includes musicals, TV shows and so on.

“You have risen from the ashes before. The only way to survive, "he said, "is to believe you always will.“ — Samantha Shannon, The Song Rising . . Hi everyone! . We have about two weeks of the year left, how did that happen? There are so many books I wanted to read this year and now... I don’t think I’ll have time to get to them all. Can we stop time so I can just read all day long? 😱 . I’m trying to be realistic now, so I’m hoping to *at least* read The Song Rising, Godsgrave and Ship of Destiny (it’s a 900 pages beast though haha) before the end of the year, we’ll see how it goes! . Which books do you want to get to before the end of the year? 🖤

“Tomorrow owes you the sum of your yesterdays. No more than that. And no less.“ — Robin Hobb, The Mad Ship . . Hi everyone! . Here’s what I wish my shelves looked like: all of Robin Hobb’s beautiful books all together. Someday, someday. 😍 . I finished reading The Mad Ship by Robin Hobb this morning and I can’t believe how invested I am in her Liveship Traders series. I only have one book left to read in it and I can‘t wait to read it, but I really don’t want to (fictionally) leave the Realms of the Elderlings world (I still have three series to go, but anyway 😂), nor the Vestrit family anytime soon. There’s a huge chance this trilogy might end up being my favourite series of the year and I’m so glad: it feels amazing to find new favourites at the end of the year. 🙌🏻 . Do you think sone books could still blow you away this December and become part of your favourites of the year? 📚

“So let the sun come streaming in 'Cause you'll reach up and you'll rise again If you only look around You will be found.“ — Dear Evan Hansen . . Hi everyone! . I went to London this weekend to see my second favourite musical ever: Dear Evan Hansen. I’ve been listening to this musical for almost three years now and yesterday, I finally saw it live. It’s been a hard second half of the year and I think I saw Dear Evan Hansen at the moment I needed it the most: I do feel a little less alone and found. . I lip-synced all the songs, laughed so hard, sobbed most of the time, even did stage door and got to tell Marcus Harman what an amazing Evan he was. Truly one of the best afternoons ever. So thank you, Evan Hansen, for doing what you’re doing. 💙 . Do you like musicals? Are there any you’ve seen live/would love to see? . . #picoftheday #winter #musical #westend #london #dearevanhansen #deh #weekend #positivity #happymoments #wappower #snapseed #lightroom #happiness #dearevanhansenmusical #dehwestend #musicals #youwillbefound

“When she smiled, it was as though she embraced the world.“ — Daphne du Maurier, The Birds and Other Stories . . Hi everyone! . I finished The Birds and Other Stories by Daphne du Maurier yesterday, a chilling collection of short stories and I really enjoyed it. . I’m not always a big fan of short stories, but Daphne du Maurier is my favourite author and she proved it yet again. I fell in love with most of them, my favourite being the daunting Monte Verità. These stories were perfect for autumn (and Halloween, as I read two stories then 😅), so I’m glad I got around to finishing this volume in November. Now onto figuring out what my next du Maurier will be. 🖤 . . Do you enjoy short stories collections? Do you have any favourites?

“Look forward, not back. Correct your course and go on. You cannot undo yesterday's journey.“ — Robin Hobb, Ship of Magic . . Hi everyone! . I’m currently reading Ship of Magic by Robin Hobb and I’m loving it so much! It’s the first book in her Liveship Traders trilogy and it’s full of pirates, magic, talking ships and from what I’ve read so far, it seems like a family saga (I love those 🥺). . I read and loved Robin Hobb’s Farseer trilogy last year, so I was really excited to get back to her Realm of the Elderlings with this second trilogy (though it’s set elsewhere and it’s about different characters)! She actually wrote five series set in this world and I’m so happy about it, I want to live in this fictional world for as long as I can. 🖤 . . What’s the last book series you’ve been completely obsessed with? 👀

“Perhaps there is some secret sort of homing instinct in books that brings them to their perfect readers. How delightful if that were true.“ — Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows, The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society . . Hi everyone! . I finished my reread of The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society last week and it was so good to be back in this story, which feels so much like home. As always, it made me want to run away to Guernsey (tbh I’m only half-joking 😅), fingers crossed I’ll be able to see the island for myself in the next few years and walk in both Victor Hugo and Juliet Ashton’s footsteps. ✨ . . Have you ever wanted to travel somewhere because of books? 💙

“I do believe in killing the messenger. You know why? Because it sends a message.“ — The Vampire Diaries . . Hi everyone! Happy Halloween! 👻🎃 . I’m celebrating it with @wavesandpeanuts and we’re having so much fun so far! This morning, we went pumpkin picking and took pictures with our costumes there: say hello to Katherine Pierce (The Vampire Diaries) and Sabrina Spellman (Chilling Adventures of Sabrina). We’ve watched some more of Vampire Diaries, we carved our vampire pumpkin (he’s modeled after Stefan Salvatore 😂), we’re eating too much and we’re planning on watching Crimson Peak tonight. What a great Halloween day! . Are you celebrating Halloween? Do you have any plans for today? 👻 . . 📸 : @soophiedesbois

“Anyway, if you stop tellin' people it's all sorted out afer they're dead, they might try sorting it all out while they're alive.“ — Terry Pratchett & Neil Gaiman, Good Omens . . Hi everyone! . I finished Good Omens yesterday and I was quite disappointed in it, to say the least. The writing style was a bit too over the place for me, which is a shame as I could have loved this story and I was so excited to read the book! In this case, I think the show might be better for me in terms of storytelling, I’ve only watched the first two episodes though, so we’ll see how it goes. 🙈 . On a happier note, I’ve started my reread of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and I’m so excited about it, I’m hoping to finish my reread of the series by the end of the year. 🧡 . What was the last book that disappointed you? 🙈

“Kaz leaned back. "What's the easiest way to steal a man's wallet?" "Knife to the throat?" asked Inej. "Gun to the back?" said Jesper. "Poison in his cup?" suggested Nina. "You're all horrible," said Matthias.“ — Leigh Bardugo, Six of Crows . . Hi everyone! . This morning, I got my ticket for Leigh Bardugo’s signing in Paris in November and I’m so excited about it! I already met her in Rotterdam back in 2015 and it was one of the best days of my life (we got Six of Crows cupcakes and a Grisha cake... it can’t get better than that, right?). I can’t wait to see her again in a few weeks, to talk to her and to get some more of my books signed, I love her books so much. 😭 . . Which authors would you love to meet? 🧡
