I read in English, Spanish and Finnish. I do not like chick-lit or whodunnits. My wishlist and the bookrings/rays I've participated should be a good indicator of my likes! I love to discover new authors and have already made acquaintance with the likes of Kazuo Ishiguro and Haruki Murakami since joining.

My all time favourites are Margaret Atwood, Mario Vargas Llosa and Hilary Mantel.

Other than books I like continental chocolate, scented candles, ground coffee and liquorice. And my cat loves toys for cats :)
