chaienthusiast

Hi there! I'm a grad student originally hailing from Boston, MA. Currently living in Virginia and getting my PhD. I love to read (a lot), hike, craft, run, and bake.

I have always loved sending and receiving postcards and letters, and often collect postcards when I travel somewhere. I love unique cards, especially ones with some type of art on them.

Favorites in no particular order:
• Just Kids - Patti Smith
• Braiding Sweetgrass - Robin Wall Kimmerer
• The Friend - Sigrid Nunez
• A Wizard of Earthsea - Ursula K. Le Guin
• 1Q84 - Haruki Murakami (or any Murakami, really!)
• Figuring - Maria Popova
• Virgil Wander - Leif Enger
• Way of Kings - Brandon Sanderson
• Any Jane Austen

I love learning new art forms! My favorites have been ceramics (specifically wheel-throwing), linocut, cross-stitch, and 35mm photography.
