I read in English and Russian.
My other hobbies are Postcrossing, writing letters, cross-stitching, and gardening. I just started Geocaching, too.
I like to "release" my books when I travel. I'd always look for an open bookshelf or an OBCZ at my travel destination. A friend of mine is organizing English book swaps in Zurich, so some of my books will be released there.
If you would like a list of LFLs in Zurich ( that I know of), feel free to PM me.
Things I would love to get in a surprise bookish parcel:
- cozy socks ( size 38.5 / 5.5)
- beautiful stationery for writing letters ( can be from a charity shop; I especially love Pigeon Posted stationery)
- Earl Grey tea
- BC stickers and stationery; 1001 books challenge stickers
- dark chocolate
- beeswax candles
- something small/affordable from Neal's Yard or Lush stores, or similar stores in your country
- Oracle cards
- sheet masks
- anything British-themed ( I used to live in London!)
- anything with garden birds ( especially robins or pigeons) or chickens
- Country Living or BBC Good Food magazine from the UK, or Victoria magazine from the US ( new or second-hand)
- slimes
- as well as books from my wishlist, of course!
* Second-hand items in good condition will be loved and cherished as much, as new things. I'm always happy to receive wings!
My latest obsession is The Sandman series on Netflix, so anything connected to these ( merch, comic books - I already have vol.1, etc) is very welcome!
