Über mich: Ich glaube, ich muss nicht wirklich erwähnen, dass ich Bücher liebe! Ich lese unterwegs in der Ubahn und im Bus, im Kaffeehaus, in der Badewanne und auch gerne im Bett vor dem Einschlafen.
Ausser Büchern mag ich auch gerne: Musik, vegetarisches Essen, Schokolade, Kino, Konzerte, Tee, in der Badewanne relaxen, usw.
