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.

“I'd rather choose to fall in love and be hurt. Sometimes I can't even sleep because I love someone too much. And there's always sadness in our lives. It's that sad feeling that keeps us going.” — Naoko Takeuchi, Sailor Moon, vol. 1 . When your drink accidentally matches your current read. ✌🏻 . Hi everyone! . After seeing everyone rave about Sailor Moon for such a long time, I finally started reading the series last month. It might be quite cheesy for me at times (sorry 😭), but it’s a lot of fun and I’m getting really invested in the storyline now that I’m a few volumes in (plus the cats are the cutest 😍). . I went to the library with my best friend to get four volumes and the rest of the Mighty Thor comics (Jane Foster for the win!) this afternoon, my back isn’t quite happy with this decision, but I have no regrets. Now into volume 5 of Sailor Moon! . Do you read mangas? What are your favourites? 🌙

“High above the clustered houses and the grey harbour waters of Plyn, the loving spirit smiles and is free.” — Daphne du Maurier, The Loving Spirit . . Hi everyone! . I reread The Loving Spirit by Daphne du Maurier last month and it made me the happiest, in part because Daphne is my favourite author and I feel like she “gets” me. . I’ve been feeling very nostalgic about my favourite books lately and I really want to reread them soon. I already reread Les Misérables in January, but I’d also love to reread The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society (... yes, again) and Far from the Madding Crowd (there you have it, my top 3 favourite books 💗). . I’m also planning to reread The Host by Stephenie Meyer with @wavesandpeanuts, we were already supposed to do it last summer (oops) and it means we’ll be able to rewatch the movie afterwards, I cannot wait!! . How often do you reread books? Which books would you love to reread right now? 📚

“Night and darkness made a believer of everyone.” — Kat Cho, Wicked Fox . . Hi everyone! . August is such an amazing reading month for me so far and it’s all thanks to the #newtsreadathon2019, so I’m really happy about that. I haven’t read as much as I used to since the beginning of the year, mainly because I had so many things to do and had a hard time focusing on reading, but it has finally changed. I’ve been reading while listening to ASMR over the past few months (I live for ASMR Rooms, truly) and I’m finally reading without being too distracted by the outside world. . I’m currently reading Wicked Fox by Kat Cho right now (my tenth book of the month, what? 😱) and I’m really intrigued so far. I cannot wait to read more of it and see what this week will hold for me reading-wise. . What are you currently reading? 📖

“A good story is always more dazzling than a broken piece of truth.” — Diane Setterfield, The Thirteenth Tale . . Hi everyone! . It’s been raining on and off since yesterday here, it almost seems like Autumn is around the corner and I love it, as it’s my favourite season (my cats hate it though, they can’t go outside in this weather 😅). Because of that, I have already switched to Halloween mode and want to read/watch everything paranormal and spooky. I’m currently watching some episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer while drinking tea and it feels amazing. . What’s your favourite season? 🍂

“That’s human nature, isn’t it? People want to put someone on a pedestal. Maybe it gives them something to dream about.” — Marissa Meyer, Archenemies . . Hi everyone! . I finished Archenemies last week as my first read for the #newtsreadathon2019 and I’m so glad I finally did! While I adored Renegades, I put off reading it’s sequel for months, because I’ve been terrible at continuing series in the last year or so. This one was a solid sequel, I adore the world-building and the storyline got quite political, which I’m always there for. I wasn’t a huge fan of the romance tbh, as the characters had *quite* repetitive thoughts, but well, it’s quite rare I’m a fan of romance in books these days. 🤷🏼‍♀️ . If you could have a superpower, what would it be? 🦸🏼‍♀️ . 📸: @wavesandpeanuts

“Knowledge is dangerous. Once you know something, you can't get rid of it. You have to carry it. Always.” — Samantha Shannon, The Bone Season . . Hi everyone! . Today is the last day of the month, so it’s time for my monthly wrap-up! In July, I read: . — Son of the Shadows by Juliet Marillier, 4.5/5 stars — Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty, 3.5/5 stars — Child of the Prophecy by Juliet Marillier, 4/5 stars — The Loving Spirit by Daphne du Maurier, 5/5 stars (reread) — The Bone Season by Samantha Shannon, 3.5/5 stars — The Pale Dreamer by Samantha Shannon, 4/5 stars — The City of Brass by S.A. Chakraborty, 5/5 stars (reread) — Sailor Moon, vol. 1 & 2 by Naoko Takeuchi, 3/5 stars . If we don’t count my rereads, my favourite read of the month was Son of the Shadows, I love the Sevenwaters series so much. 💗 . What was your favourite read of July? 🌿

“Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.” — J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban . . Hi everyone! . August is almost there and with that, the #magicalreadathon (a Harry Potter inspired readathon) hosted by @book_roast is coming back! As a follow-up to the OWLs in April, we’ll be sitting for the NEWTs in August, I’m super excited about it! I’m planning to become a magizoologist (what a surprise, really), so I’ll be studying Care of Magical Creatures, Charms and Herbology. I have *finally* settled on my TBR, which you can see in my bullet journal above. ☝🏻 I also published a blog post about it if you want to know more about the prompts I’m reading for. 👀 . Are you participating in this readathon? What would be your magical career in the wizarding world? 🌿

“Knowledge is dangerous. Once you know something, you can't get rid of it. You have to carry it. Always.” — Samantha Shannon, The Bone Season . . Hi everyone! . Here’s a little picture of amazing fantasy books from my shelves. 😍 . I’ve been quite unmotivated for everything for most of July, but I’ve been feeling a bit better since this weekend and I’m also super motivated to read again. I started to track how much I was reading each day and I’m finally reading more. . I’m currently reading The Bone Season by Samantha Shannon and I’m flying through it, it’s taking me by surprise and I’m so intrigued by this world, I’m hoping to finish it tomorrow and I might get the next few books in the series ASAP. 👀 . Other than that, I ordered the last books I needed for the #NEWTsReadathon2019 today and I cannot wait to get started on all my reading. Phew, it feels so good to be excited about reading again. . What are you currently reading and how are you enjoying it? ✨

“She knew that this was happiness, this was living as she had always wished to live.” — Daphne du Maurier, Frenchman’s Creek . . Hi everyone! . I spent another weekend at the beach, taking long walks near the sea, rereading The Loving Spirit by Daphne du Maurier and spending time with my loved ones. It was what I needed and I’m so ready for the new week to come now. . How was your weekend? 🌊
