About Me

Abroad with limited access to the internet until around June 16th

Favorite Books

Afted some break I found my love (and time) for reading. Genres I like: fantasy, supernatural, magic, travel logs.

Recently I read some memoirs, mystery and crime and enjoyed it, too.

Favorite authors: - R. E. Feist - Robert Asprin - Terry Pratchet - James Clavell

Book I recently read and liked: - I Must Betray You by Ruta Sepetys - Henna Artist by A. Joshi - Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir - Sleeping Giants by Sylvain Neuvel - A Curious Beginning by Deanna Raybourn - Legends & Lattes by Travis Baldree - Howl's Moving Castle by Diana W. Jones

I read books in Czech language which are not translated to English (and probably never will be).

I noticed I tend to read books mostly from American authors, so I started to mindfully pick authors from different countries to broaden my horizonts.

Favorite Movies

Top recent movies: - The Dune (the old one) - Harry Potter movies - Spirited Away (Ghibli Studio) - Howl's Moving Castle (there is a book, I didn't know)

Top recent anime - Apothecary Diaries - Ascendance of a Bookworm - Heaven Official's Blessing - The Morose Mononokean - Mushishi

Top recent series - Outlander - Bridgertons - Sherlock

About swapping

If you wonder what to send to make my day better.

I love STICKERS - floral - animals - nature - sea - space & sky - cute - cats - owls - forest - landscape (please, no fashion or food)

I keep POSTAL STAMPS - I am not "pro" collector, I just like to look on different stamps from all around the world.

I collect WASHI my collection mostly consists of floral and landscape washi. But I am open mostly to anything (EXCEPT scary and death and overly childish ones)

POSTCARDS / CARDS - places - nature - flowers - buildings (please, no technical or cars or sports) If you have some nice postcard from your city or with some landmark, please send. And if you write a thing or two about your city, all the better.

CHOCO & CANDIES - like to try new types of chocolate / candies / snack (dislike raisins in chocolate and liquorice)

PAGE OF NEWSPAPER - especially if you are non-English speaker :)

LOOSE MEMO PADS / PATTERNED PAPERS - any original, cute, with animals, with people, flowery, patterned

RECOMMEND ME A BOOK - did you read some nice book, add a title and author! I am always on the lookout for something new to read.

TELL ME ABOUT YOUR PLACE - did you visit a nice place, tell me about it!

Comment: thanks for sharing your lists! I think Katabasis is the only one I'm familiar with (oh and Anne, of course) - I enjoyed Yellowface by the same author but I haven't read her other work as I don't read a lot of fantasy. hope there's a lot of great reads on your winter tbr!

Comment: Wow. That's quite the list. Thank you! I don't read a lot of fantasy but of your list, I DID enjoy The House in the Cerulean Sea, The Midnight Library. I also read Dungeon Crawler Carl but it wasn't for me. You mention reading more nonfiction. The three best nonfiction books that I have ever read were Remember: The Science of Memory and the Art of Forgetting by Lisa Genova, When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanithi and Know My Name by Chanel Miller.

Comment: Lucie! Today I received your wonderful letter. I loved hearing about your life! I also just started crochet and am very excited to try to make a sweater. You inspired me! Anne of Avonlea is from very very close to where I live in Nova Scotia. I loved hearing about the organist, I am sad we don’t have a bus here because much less happens alone in your own car! Happy 2026!

Comment: Good luck on your list! I like how you gamify completion. I bet giving weights/importance would be helpful - I may have to try.

Comment: At least you got to explore a new place, even if you didn't read as much as you'd hoped. I love TJ Klune's books.
