Wishes and Pages (EN): I didn't celebrate Halloween but met Leigh Bardugo

Hi guys! As you’re reading this post, I’m currently on my way back from the Netherlands and have met Leigh Bardugo *fangirls* October was a pretty tiring month because school all over again. Hopefully, I’ve been on holidays this past week and I went to Germany to visit my boyfriend who is abroad for the term (that’s why I’ve been MIA for more than a week, he doesn’t have Wi-Fi yet…).

I had a weird reading month – but great! – because I read five books during the first two weeks of the month, and then I acted crazy and read three books in one week-end! Lair of Dreams took me forever to read though (two weeks), I read six other books between the moment I started it and the moment I finished it. It was just SO LONG but great. I became totally obsessed with the Something Strange and Deadly trilogy, I read these books in five days, it was so addictive! My love for Susan Dennard doesn’t have bounds now. Then I was on holidays so… I read one book per day or more.

WHAT I WATCHED

Because it’s October, it means my TV shows are back, yay! Unfortunately, I don’t have time to watch all of them… *sighs*

Once Upon a Time (season 4): Sometimes, I’m wondering where the show goes, because when you think where it started… Anyways, I love the Camelot storyline of this season, it’s getting so intense!

Arrow (season 4): There are SO MANY storylines in this season, it’s crazy! However, I’m enjoying every single moment of it. And Olicity is on point now J

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D (season 3): Will Grant Ward be a useful character this season? That’s what I’m asking myself season after season now, because seriously… Still, things are intense with the Inhumans but also with Jemma.

The Big Bang Theory (season 9): As fun as ever, it is weird that I’m still not tired of this show after all this time! It is so entertaining and quick to watch, it’s a guilty pleasure when I’m coming back to uni.

I have so many shows I need to catch up on, like… The Flash or Downton Abbey!

WHAT HAPPENED IN MY LIFE

As I said, this month was full of schoolwork, but it wasn't that bad, because November will be so much worse (I'm really scared). I didn't even bought a lot of books at the beginning of the month, because I was going to Germany for the holidays. As I mentionned at the beginning of this post, I went to see my boyfriend in Kleve, near the boundary with Netherlands. So of course, I HAD to go to Rotterdam to meet Leigh Bardugo on October 31st! I'll do a recap of the even next week, so stay tuned for that, but spoiler alert: it involves awesome cupcakes. My boyfriend won a hardcover of Six of Crows (because he's the lucky one, I'm not :P), I'm so happy with that because I now have two copies of it (as you can see on the picture)!!!
