Hi! I'm Grace. This is my space for all things literary, lifestyle, and creative (and the one place I don't obsessively proofread).

I'm a reader and writer who finds almost anything interesting. (I flit around from hobby to hobby -- frankly, it's amazing I've been doing this blogging thing for as long as I have.)

I'm originally from the southern United States, but I now live in the U.K. If you stick around, you'll learn that I listen to a lot of audiobooks and feel very passionate about indie bookstores.
Get to know me.
