chaienthusiast

Hi there! I'm a grad student originally hailing from Boston, MA. Currently living in Virginia and getting my PhD. I love to read (a lot), hike, craft, run, and bake.

I have always loved sending and receiving postcards and letters, and often collect postcards when I travel somewhere. I love unique cards, especially ones with some type of art on them.

Favorites in no particular order:
• Just Kids - Patti Smith
• Braiding Sweetgrass - Robin Wall Kimmerer
• The Friend - Sigrid Nunez
• A Wizard of Earthsea - Ursula K. Le Guin
• 1Q84 - Haruki Murakami (or any Murakami, really!)
• Figuring - Maria Popova
• Virgil Wander - Leif Enger
• Way of Kings - Brandon Sanderson
• Any Jane Austen

I love learning new art forms! My favorites have been ceramics (specifically wheel-throwing), linocut, cross-stitch, and 35mm photography.

Again, in no particular order...
• Spirited Away
• Kiki's Delivery Service
• Lord of the Rings
• Pride and Prejudice
• You’ve Got Mail
• The Grand Budapest Hotel

• The Princess Bride
• Singing in the Rain
• O Brother Where Art Thou
• Little Women (2019)
• The Shining
• Midsommar
