About

Hi, I’m Lydia and I mainly talk about books here.

I have never quite pinned down my favourite genre of book, but I suppose I am mainly drawn to adult and literary fiction and ancient Greek literature. I also adore re-tellings of the Trojan War and am an Achilles apologist. I don’t limit myself to any particular genre though, as it’s the themes of a book that matter more to me. Give me some complex characters, grey morality, found family, a bit of mystery, ladies supporting ladies, character-focused stories, or just plain beautiful writing and I’ll be happy.

Things I enjoy:

• My parents’ dog
• Cats
• Taylor Swift
• The Iliad
• Sappho
• Jane Austen
• James Baldwin
• Bad TV shows
• The Mummy (1999)
• The Lord of the Rings
• Piano
• British folk music
