Seven things about me
1. I love to read and I have read over 1000 books. I like “escapism” whether it’s through books or movies or by listening music :) I think they are best things in life.
2. For few days now I have been listening Celtic music. I discovered Adrian Von Ziegler and now have all his songs in my iPod…maybe this will pass.
3. I hate when people try to put me into some box when they ask what do I read. I read both fiction and non-fiction and fantasy, scifi, YA, children’s books…I don’t think it matters, don’t put me into box genre box :)
4. If there would be a possibility, I would love to meet with Victor Hugo or Guy de Maupassant. Victor Hugo because I love every book he has written (well pretty much) and Maupassant thought like I did in some book. So I think I would like to just ask him “yo, where did you get this idea from?”
5. I want to be writer in the future, but I find it really hard to get characters out of my head into Word document.
6. I love coffee :3 especially dark roast and Mövenpick is the best but hard to find.
7. I am a bit of a nerd. I love Doctor Who, Supernatural and all the similar shows, love to read, I like linguistics, love history and playing video games :D

I’m very happy that you like my blog and as you might have seen,the feeling is requited!
Your random fact reminds me that I should read Maupassant!! And 1000 books,wow! Kudos!
Here are my 7 facts:
1.I will be studying Financial Mathematics in less than 2 months and a half at Kent.
2.After I’ve made my mind which books I’ll buy,I always pick the nicest editions.(When it isn’t already available in Folio)
3.I have 2 bookcases.They are very tall vertical rectangles with five squares in each and with a mirror in between.I have turned each square into a section: one for children literature,one for Russian literature,one for existentialism,and so on…
4.I am huge Breaking Bad fan! (Who isn’t?)
5.I find scrabble and crossword pretty addicting!
6.I rate literary awards very highly,as many of their nominees and winners turn out to be little gems!
7.Although I read great and well-known classics mostly,I like reading once in a while lesser known books that I find in a myriad of ways.The latest such books added to my wish-list are ‘Don’t Go Back to School’ by Kio Stark and ‘The Classic Fairy Tales’ by Maria Tatar.
Definitely read Maupassant! I am not actually sure what I like about his books but I do like them…
Thank you for sharing 7 so interesting facts :) Congrats on getting to study Financial Mathematics! Your bookcase sounds fascinating! I need more bookcases…I need my own personal library but I don’t know where to fit the books haha. You are right about gems :p
I think the lesser known books are great in a way that that they are “yours” as probably they are not as read as the classics. I do love classics though haha :)
Thanks so much. What seven cool things to find out. Which video games have you been playing recently?
Haha, unfortunately lately I have had very little time lately so I have been really happy to play …Mario Kart :D xD not that I don’t like it though.
Hey, congrats on that award!!:) Haha, award that has rules
Haha thanks Sara :) Yeah! I thought about that too, but I guess everything comes with rules, terms, conditions whatever ahaha
Thanks Anastasia for the award! :)
By the way, I haven’t started with Sinuhe yet but instead I’ve been reading plenty of Stephen King this summer.. ;)
:) Looking forward to read your 7 facts and whom you nominate!
Haha, luckily summer isn’t over yet :p Stephen King is the best horror writer ever! As you like him, I would recommend also to have a look at his son,Joe Hill’s books. Like 20th Century Ghosts or Heart-Shaped Box :)
Love your blog! Came across it recently but its really good.
Hi Sweetie, Happy 4th on the 5th, I had to work so I fell asleep. I am well rested but doing college at age 47 so I am so busy. I love your blog and then some. Reading is so much fun. I love your header and background too. Thanks for connecting with me and the award, I hope to get it up today, your friend, Jackie
Thank you, Jackie! I agree that reading is so much fun, I can’t understand people who don’t read, they miss a lot in life. That’s admirable that you do college, all the best with that :)
Well done, and good nominations… I know some of these wonderful people! :)
