i've read since i was a kid; both my parents love books. it was what i did to escape for a while and go somewhere exciting. i love that you can be somewhere incredible, experiencing things you wouldn't ever experience in your real life, whilst curled up in a jumper in a comfy place. it's just the earliest form of imagination and creativity for me, so whenever i need a little bit of either that's where i go - to my books.

Bonus Question: What are some of your reading habits?
i hoard books. like i can never throw or give them away and i'm constantly re-reading them. but at the same time i can't stop buying new ones. i also tend to either read for like hours at a time or not at all. i'll go a week or so without reading and then pull all-nighters finishing one book.
