About Me

I'm an English girl, born in London, currently studying at the University of Edinburgh. I've always loved sending letters and packages, and getting things in return, of course. I love history of all kinds, reading and making many different books and zines and listening to loud music. I like cooking and baking, but I don't think I'm very good at it yet!

Favorite Books

I like to read anything! Especially trashy fantasy and romance novels, gossipy biographies of historical figures and fairy tales and mythology. I really like horror stories with ghosts and ghoulies, but serial killers and physically gruesome horrors don't interest me much. Historical novels are lovely, especially ones set in the ancient Mediterranean or Byzantium.

I love stories that include the following tropes: comedy, storytellers, thieves with honour, assassins, two people against the world, royal courts, political intrigue, complex morality, estranged family members reluctantly reconciling, running away to new climes and the adventures that follow.

I also like to read non-fiction about any topic, and I always want to learn new things. Science, philosophy, travel adventures, psychology...

Favorite Television

I'm not watching much television currently, but I love comedies and political quiz shows. I like to laugh. I have a love-hate relationship with the new Doctor Who. I'm watching a few Korean dramas at the moment too, which are very good, even though I'm incredibly slow at getting through them.

Things I like

Cute stationary and journals

Milk and white chocolate, especially ones with different flavours or caramel and biscuit inside them.

Hard sweets and mints

Different teas

Anything related to Ancient Egypt

Beaded and wooden jewellery

Fine art

Handwritten letters

Postcards and stickers

Hairclips and accessories

Traveling

Cute baking things like sweet cookie cutters or sprinkles

Vintage pictures or pictures of old places and scenes

Dolls

Intricate patterns

Political and social activism
