I'm an English student so obviously I love reading! I love writing too and hope to be an author one day. I live in a little village in Wales which I love because it is surrounded by beautiful countryside but I'm away at university a lot now and can't spend a lot of time there.

I have a pretty eclectic reading taste. Some of my favourite include: Jane Austen, The Magic Toyshop by Angela Carter, The End of the Affair by Graham Greene, Brideshead Revisited by Evelyn Waugh, Wilkie Collins, Charles Dickens, Lolita by Vladamir Nabokov, Robin Hobb, Tom Jones by Henry Fielding, Ian McEwan, Life of Pi by Yann Martel, Harry Potter books and many others...

And poets: Ted Hughes, Seamus Heaney, John Donne, Emily Dickenson

Dresses, curling up with a book, shoes, floral designs, Victorian dresses, buttons, period dramas, countryside, ballroom dancing, writing, being cozy by the fire, notebooks especially moleskines, interior design, long walks, fountain pens, playing oboe in orchestras, ribbons, stationary, the sea, pandas, beaded jewellery, beads in general, pre-Raphealite art, shopping, looking round old country houses, Paperchase...
