About Me

Oh gosh..erm..I’m real nerdy about books and music. I study English Literature which takes care of my obsession with the former. I’m a music journalist, too. I’m still getting used to the fact I can now say that for legit.

Favorite Books

The Perks of Being a Wallflower, To The Lighthouse, The Bell Jar, Fear and Loathing In Las Vegas, Vile Bodies, The Garden of Eden, Things Fall Apart, Handmaid’s Tale, Brave New World, 1984.

Sonic Youth, The Smiths, Grizzly Bear, The Antlers, Stone Roses, Radiohead, Dirty Projectors, Animal Collective, Tame Impala, TOY, The Strokes, Velvet Underground, Elvis Costello, St Vincent, Purity Ring. That’s what comes to mind right now. But I love music, really. Talk to me about it.
