Hey there :)

I have been thinking of creating a blog to talk about books, series/movies, and travels since high school (the cat topic has been added to my thoughts since I got my cat Cookie, whom I'm totally obsessed with).

 

Over the years, I've created multiple websites with blog posts, but not one of them has seen the light of day - so if this one does, this means I am absolutely happy with my blog.

​
Anyway, as you came to this subpage to see what I'm all about, here are 10 facts about me:

​

1. I have always loved reading books (I was that kid who stayed up all night reading just to sit hungover in class to read more under the table).

2. My favorite genres are romance, fantasy, and self-help books.

3. When I attended university, I pressured myself into the mindset that fiction books (especially romance and fantasy) have less value than non-fiction books, which will expand the skillset and create the "right" mindset. While I did/do love a good self-help, educational book, this mindset caused me to jump from reading slump to reading slump as I didn't want to learn more after a full day of stress and learning.

4. I grew up with dogs and I always thought, I'd get a pug as an adult (influenced by Marzia Besognin and Zoe Sugg, oh well). Never in a million dreams would I have thought to become a cat person but then Cookie marched into my life and proved me wrong.

5. My all-time favorite series is Gossip Girl (the original version with Blake Lively and Leighton Meester).

6. In highschool, I was into creative writing and I wrote a lot of short stories.

7. I want to become an author.

8. I cannot, for the love of life, pinpoint a favorite book. If I had to, it would be "The Book Thief" by Markus Zusak.

9. When I was in tenth grade, I went on a month-long student exchange program to San Diego, which was my first time traveling alone and my first time on an airplane.

10. Even though I am German with Czech roots (yes, I can speak the language and I read books in Czech as well), I feel more comfortable writing this blog in English and then translating everything back to German.
