About Me
Hello and welcome to my blog! 🙂
My name is Lili and I am a Romanian expat living in Canada. It has been over four decades now since I have learned how to read, but my "serious" reading started a bit before high school. I was 13-14 years old when I had my first crush - Margaret Mitchell's "Gone with the Wind" and I met my first favourite writer - Fyodor Dostoevsky. In high school I also discovered my soulmate - Octavian Paler, a Romanian writer who is unfortunately poorly known throughout the world since his books are rarely translated to English.
I enjoy reading fiction, classic, biography/memoir and mystery/suspense books.
