About

My name is Aine, and I own a vintage typewriter.

Here are five things you should know about me:

1) I like making lists. It’s a weird, calming thing to me.

2) I tend to be a bit scatterbrained. This is because I am often thinking of three or four things at once.

3) My name is Celtic and pronounced “awn-ya”. Most people pronounce it “Ain”, as in rain without the R, or “ainy”. Honestly, I’m extremely used to this, and so if you call me Ain or Ainy I will probably still answer to it.

4) I write quite often, however, I rarely actually finish what I write because I barely plot before I start writing. This is a problem, since I want to be a published author (or at least be agented) before I’m twenty.

5) I bake. I’m starting pastry school Fall of 2016, and I talk about this extremely often. Because I am very excited.

Because this is a book blog, I should probably talk about books as well.

As well as these things, I also like Doctor Who, Sherlock, Parks & Rec, New Girl, Marvel Comics, MCU, macarons, fuzzy blankets, coffee with more cream and sugar in it than actual coffee, my converse, hoodies, pictures of pretty books, the internet, Canadian candy bars, stationary, sleeping bags, our giant red umbrella, and grocery stores where you can buy ingredients that you probably will never use but are really cool anyways.

It’s nice to meet you.
