About Me

Abroad with limited access to the internet until around June 16th

Favorite Books

Afted some break I found my love (and time) for reading. Genres I like: fantasy, supernatural, magic, travel logs.

Recently I read some memoirs, mystery and crime and enjoyed it, too.

Favorite authors: - R. E. Feist - Robert Asprin - Terry Pratchet - James Clavell

Book I recently read and liked: - I Must Betray You by Ruta Sepetys - Henna Artist by A. Joshi - Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir - Sleeping Giants by Sylvain Neuvel - A Curious Beginning by Deanna Raybourn - Legends & Lattes by Travis Baldree - Howl's Moving Castle by Diana W. Jones

I read books in Czech language which are not translated to English (and probably never will be).

I noticed I tend to read books mostly from American authors, so I started to mindfully pick authors from different countries to broaden my horizonts.

Favorite Movies

Top recent movies: - The Dune (the old one) - Harry Potter movies - Spirited Away (Ghibli Studio) - Howl's Moving Castle (there is a book, I didn't know)

Top recent anime - Apothecary Diaries - Ascendance of a Bookworm - Heaven Official's Blessing - The Morose Mononokean - Mushishi

Top recent series - Outlander - Bridgertons - Sherlock

About swapping

If you wonder what to send to make my day better.

I love STICKERS - floral - animals - nature - sea - space & sky - cute - cats - owls - forest - landscape (please, no fashion or food)

I keep POSTAL STAMPS - I am not "pro" collector, I just like to look on different stamps from all around the world.

I collect WASHI my collection mostly consists of floral and landscape washi. But I am open mostly to anything (EXCEPT scary and death and overly childish ones)

POSTCARDS / CARDS - places - nature - flowers - buildings (please, no technical or cars or sports) If you have some nice postcard from your city or with some landmark, please send. And if you write a thing or two about your city, all the better.

CHOCO & CANDIES - like to try new types of chocolate / candies / snack (dislike raisins in chocolate and liquorice)

PAGE OF NEWSPAPER - especially if you are non-English speaker :)

LOOSE MEMO PADS / PATTERNED PAPERS - any original, cute, with animals, with people, flowery, patterned

RECOMMEND ME A BOOK - did you read some nice book, add a title and author! I am always on the lookout for something new to read.

TELL ME ABOUT YOUR PLACE - did you visit a nice place, tell me about it!

Comment: Thank you for the wonderful list, I am in awe with how much you read every month, how inspiring. At most I can probably finish three books a month because of how slow I read! You are wonderful! Hope you have a great rest summer :)

Comment: Very much enjoyed looking over your reading stats and the books you read. A couple familiar series and authors here! I quit reading Green Gables when Anne got older, def not as good as the first ones! And I've enjoyed the Singing Hills Cycle by Nghi Vo...I loved the first book! This one, #3, I must have blocked out of my memory, I don't remember it at all. I suppose that makes it my least favorite! Laughs! But thanks for the reminder, I need to get the last two books in the series! :) The Island sounds really interesting, thanks for that recommend.

Comment: You managed some good goals for August! The goal for two bricks ! might be too much for Sept! Main, Reserve? Ocean? I have questions. What kind of nonfiction do you like the most? Is the math still mathing?
Response: I feel like math is never mathing with me... Anyway, I guess I like traveling nonfiction and historic ones.

Comment: I love the overviews of your journal, it does give me some inspiration for next year (for now I keep it simple which makes it manageable). Some cute looking novellas in your list!
