About Me

Hello! Iโ€™m Erika from Canada, and I love riddles, word games, and I've probably done over 100 puzzles in the last few years.

I love ALL genres of books (I donโ€™t discriminate) but especially poetry and fantasy. I love tea (I drink ginger peach daily. Like 3-4 cups a day!), and journaling.

Iโ€™m obsessed with Sailor Moon, the colour green (dark, moody forest greens, especially paired with a light pink, so cute!), and cows are my favourite animal ๐Ÿ„

I work in the film industry, and we do superrrr long hours so I love to be cozy at home, usually wrapped in a blanket playing Sims 3 or watching Critical Role, while eating dark chocolate.

I collect watches, my most prized possession is my beautiful monstera (her name is Emmy), and Iโ€™m a sucker for a good cheese fondue. My dad's side of the family immigrated from Switzerland, so we take cheese VERY seriously in this family.

I LOVE:

-TIKI !!

-nail stickers

-tea & coffee

-washi tape

-sticky notes

-temporary tattoos

-dice/D&D

-memes

-coins

I DO NOT LIKE:

-anything religious -anything political -anything drug/alcohol related -gore/violence/horror movies -teacher/reward stickers

Favourite Teas

I drink mostly herbal teas but to be honest I will drink anything as long as its not artificial tasting! My favourites are Ginger Peach, Earl Grey, Jasmine, or anything fruity! But I am always willing and excited to try new things so please don't hesitate to send whatever :)

Favorite Books

I have read hundreds of books and am always looking for new recommendations! My all time favourite books are (in no particular order)

-The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller

-The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid

-Goldenrod by Maggie Smith (not the Maggie Smith you're thinking of)

-You Don't Have to Say You Love Me by Sherman Alexie

-A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas

-The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab

-The Queen's Gambit by Walter Tevis

-The Light We Lost by Jill Santopolo

-The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes by Suzanne Collins

-Caraval by Stephanie Garber

-The Alice Network by Katie Quinn

-Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier

I watch way more TV than movies because I have a short attention span. Here are some of my faves:

-How I Met Your Mother

-True Blood

-Battlestar Galactica (the newer one)

-Vampire Diaries

-Sailor Moon

-Downton Abbey

-Jane the Virgin

Comment: I totally agree everyone should read Night! I also said knitting for a skill I'd love to learn! I played Shadowrun as a kid! It's like D&D. I'm the same with textures I think I have the avoidant/restrictive intake disorder.
