Hi everyone !
You must
be wondering where a blog called Of Wishes and
Pages is coming from but it's me, Lucie from Tea, Books and Fun. In January, I had said I was considering
changing my blog name, because I had already changed all of my social medias
for my French blog. Last night, I decided it was time to come back, so here we
are :
Welcome to Of Wishes and Pages !
But
first, let me explain where this change came from, because it's a big deal to
change your blog's name. You might have noticed I've been MIA since last August
(yeah, almost eight months). The truth is, my family went through a very
complicated thing (hi, euphemism), I started a master's degree in September,
while doing an internship and then my mental health went to hell in December.
That's why I haven't been there. But I've been thinking about Tea, Books and Fun a lot. I just checked my
page count – not that it's what matters most to me – and saw that you kept
coming during all these months. You guys are the best, you know that,
right ?
In
September, I started a French blog named Wishes
and Pages, which was more cultural-based (about TV shows, museum
exhibitions and such) and I've had so much fun with this one. It's been the
source of my joy for a long time. However, I missed writing in English and
since most of the books I read are in English, it has always made more sense to
blog in English. That's why I wanted to come back: it took me awhile, but I
missed being around here. I wanted a fresh start and since I didn't like Tea, Books and Fun anymore, I chose a name
close to Wishes and Pages... That's
where Of Wishes and Pages came from!
But
except that, nothing really has changed. I might talk about TV shows and movies
more, but I had already started to do that last year. I won't post a lot
though, because I have to turn in my master's thesis in less than two months
and will go back to my internship in May.
Anyway,
before I wrap this blog post up, I wanted to talk to you guys about my favorite
books of the year – so far. I'm not counting rereads (because I reread The Infernal Devices in February and I'm
still in love with it), which means I've only rated three books (but there's
one French book that's not on the list because you can't read it, obviously)
five stars. What is happening, I'm so shocked. I still have read some amazing books
and here are my top 5:
1. A
Monster Calls by Patrick Ness
2. We
Should All Be Feminists by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
3.
Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them: The Original Screenplay by J.K.
Rowling
4.
Caraval by Stephanie Garber
5.
Windwitch by Susan Dennard
What have you guys been up to, since the beginning of
the year? What's the best thing that have happened to you? What are your
favorite books of 2017 (so far)?
