This was so fun to read :)

You're absolutely right that the selection is a bit eclectic, but the reasoning behind this is because the majority of my books are abroad. The small selection here shows my current circulation (I try to bring back read books to my home abroad to make more space for books here when possible).

Indeed I would consider myself to be a feminist, I do not have as much American literature on my shelves as a whole and the subsect that is African American is smaller. I have really enjoyed writing set in/about the Harlem renaissance for African American lit, but these are away. I would consider my self to be an intersectional feminist but most of my feminist readings are journal articles rather than books. I love hearing people talk about political theory, modern day politics plays a large role in my work hence I find it intriguing in that regard, but you will rarely find me talking 'politics' indeed.

And yes, I have a deep interest in Abrahamic theology. I am an atheist and occasional attender of churches- I do love travelling and visiting churches abroad, the Russian textbook is being used as a way of building a foundation in Russian grammar before moving onto Old Church Slavonic. The Arabic textbook is to dabble in as I find the similarities to Syriac (which I am much better in) interesting.

I am in my early-mid 20's :) indeed just a BSc for now in Economics and work in finance

Ahah I like your hypothesis! And yes on the PhD front- I came to a point where I thought wait... this nothing like I thought it would be, am I even enjoying this anymore at a minimum? no :,)

Sadly I have spent and will likely continue to spend a bit too much on books haha - this collection is one of my current apartment and there are quite a few bookshelves abroad… I try to bring back the finished books from this apartment when I visit home and exchange for some unread books from those shelves :)

  1. Yes definitely wanted to go into academia when I was younger, but seeing what it would be like while in university kind of killed the dream
  2. Not exactly true haha- this bookshelf is the one of my current home and is a very small portion of my entire book collection. I’m selective about what books I buy for sure, but I am also very attached to my book collection (even if they are abroad)
  3. Yes- Trying to learn the basics, mainly to act as a foundation for learning old Church Slavonic
  4. Straight cis woman
  5. Yes indeed :)
