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:
- anything ramen-themed ( pins, stationery, stickers, etc), or actual ramen noodles if you can!:) ( vegetarian, please!)
- 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
- something small/affordable from Neal's Yard or Lush stores, or similar stores in your country
- 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)
- coco wyo colouring books
- 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!
