Lina

Hello everyone! 

It's about time I finally a little something about myself, don't you think? First, some basics. My name is Lina (as you probably already know at this point lol), I'm 18, Scorpio, Croatian, a dog person and a coffee lover.
 
Books have been my passion for pretty much as long as I can remember. I enjoy discussing them, fangirling over them, criticizing them, even reading about them. After joining Goodreads and discovering my love for writing reviews at the beginning of 2018, I decided to start this blog with one of my real-life close friends as a place to share my love for books and reading with others.

Nowadays, I mostly read young/new adult fantasy, although I also enjoy historical fiction, sci-fi, mystery, thrillers, and even some contemporary romance from time to time. The only thing I'm really not keen on is poetry, so don't expect to see much (or any) of it among my posts.

My all-time favourite books/serials include Harry Potter by J. K. Rowling, Six of Crows duology by Leigh Bardugo, The Folk of the Air trilogy by Holly Black, Shades of Magic by V.E. Schwab, The Ember Quartet by Sabaa Tahir and The Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo. I'm a big sucker for fairytales, classics, a good villain, enemies-to-lovers trope, and Star Wars fanfiction (original six only!), and you'll often find me rereading some of my favourites instead of making my way through my already overflowing TBR.

Some of my other interests (aka things that I do when I'm not reading, in school, generally procrastinating on my phone) include watching movies and TV shows on illegal piracy sites ahem Netflix and eating or preparing things to eat. I also play squash and occasionally try drawing something, so keep an eye out for some fanart I'll probably never do I've been planning on doing since forever.

Outside of the bookish world, I'm a big fan of Star Wars, Disney (but not those two combined because, let's face it, the sequel trilogy sucks), and TV musicals (such as Grease, Moulin Rouge (2001) and Mamma Mia (#2; unpopular opinion: the second movie is better and I'll fight you for it)), and my favourite TV shows are Game of Thrones, The Witcher, Stranger Things, Teen Wolf, and Lucifer (yes, I'm that basic :P)
