My name is Sophie and I'm a twenty-three-year-old British girl living in Belgium. I started this blog in the summer of 2013 to fill the endless days of nothingness that make up the summer break and since then I've really enjoyed having my own little space on the internet to talk about the things I love and share bits of my life with you.

I could write something really pretentious about my appreciation of literature but to be honest I just really love books. I especially love mysteries and historical fiction and my favourite book of all time is probably The Secret History by Donna Tartt, although The Great Gatsby runs a close second. The physical nature of books appeals to me just as much as reading: I can spend hours just looking at my bookshelves, reorganising them and running my fingers across the spines - hence why my blog used to be called 'bibliophilia', the love of books.
