Hi! I'm Abbie and I'm currently studying English Literature at university. I particularly love children's literature (Winnie the Pooh is my fave 💕). I love playful and bright colours, patterns and themes.

I'm new to this so am not 100% certain what likes and dislikes to put here. I'm just excited to get to start pen-palling again.

*** Please don't send me things about weight loss and diets. Unless it's anti diet-culture stuff then I feel very strongly about that! :))

1. Winnie the Pooh 🍯 (any of them to be honest but I do love Christopher Robin and Goodbye Christopher Robin)

2. Matilda

3. Girl Interrupted

4. The Imitation Game

5. Carol

6. Feed (by Troian Bellisario)

7. Knives Out

8. Ocean's 8

9. St Frances

I love traditional art in particular watercolour and oil paints, and I usually tend to paint portraits.

I also love journaling, scrapbooking and embroidery. I learnt to crochet when I was younger and like making blankets and scrunchies too. It's always fun to make funky granny squares.

One of my favourite things to use in my journal spreads and art is pressed flowers and incorporating nature in general. Some of my favourite flowers are pansies, daisies, hyacinths, passion flowers and sweet peas.

I love reading but due to demand avoidance (thank you neurodevelopmental disorder) I struggle to focus on reading. It's a very viscious cycle when you study English Literature hahah.

Anyways, some of my faves are:

• We Need to Talk About Kevin by Lionel Shriver
• The House of The Spirits by Isabelle Allende
• Anne of Green Gables by Lucy Maud Montgomery
• The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas
• To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
• The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood
• The Collector by John Fowles
