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 nicely written book list and bonus stickers. I haven't read any of these, but think I'll look into the Egyptian one you mentioned first. I'm currently reading The Tearsmith, and realized it is now a movie on Netflix after I started reading. Will have to watch once I'm done. Happy reading!

Comment: :D I come here for the pretty sheet you do and the numbers from TBR...don't ask me why but I am addicted. Ooo pinks and purples for this one, 5 star month, Do you find you enjoy certain grade books more? I started a young adult author last year and am hooked, I don't know what it is about her writing that I love.

Comment: Thank you for the list and the reviews. This swap is making me feel very inadequate; I'm lucky if I can make time to read one book in a month. 😺
Response: Thank you for rating! Don't feel inadequate. Everybody reads in his or her own pace.

Comment: Such adorable note papers you used. So very different than American papers. You also can write so tiny. And so very well. Thank you for filling me in about your days. When I was in high school I wanted to be a travel agent but now they are are a very rare breed. Everything is done online now. It sounds like over all you enjoy your job. Have a wonderful rest of your week. Thank you for the post card.
