Okay here goes! My name’s Kalie, I’m 27, I’m from British Columbia, Canada! I’m married and I have two cats. This blog is my biggest hobby, but next is probably reading. 

My favourite authors (top two favourite books from each) are: 

• Maritta Wolff (Whistle Stop and About Lyddy Thomas)
  
• Norman Collins (London Belongs to Me and Love in Our Time)
  
• Patrick Hamilton (Twenty Thousand Streets Under the Sky and Hangover Square)
  
• Willa Cather (My Antonia and O Pioneers!)
  
• F Scott Fitzgerald (The Beautiful and Damned and Tender is the Night)
  
• Kurt Vonnegut (God Bless You Mr Rosewater and Breakfast of Champions)
  
• Trollope (The Way We Live Now and the Palliser series)  
  
• Steinbeck (The Winter of Our Discontent and East of Eden)
  
• Zola (L'Assommoir and Nana)
  
• Dostoevsky (Crime and Punishment and The Idiot)
  

I also really like Peyton Place by Grace Metalious, An American Tragedy and Sister Carrie by Theodore Dreiser, London Fields by Martin Amis, The Bonfire of the Vanities by Tom Wolfe, The Jungle by Upton Sinclair, The Millstone by Margaret Drabble, The Best of Everything by Rona Jaffe, The House of Mirth and The Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton, The Crying of Lot 49 by Thomas Pynchon, The Heart is a Lonely Hunter by Carson McCullers and everything by Nancy Mitford and Dominick Dunne. I have a tattoo of Behemoth from The Master and Margarita! 

I’m not a big fan of historical fiction but I really liked Ken Follet’s Kingsbridge and Century Trilogies. 

My favourite TV shows are It’s Always Sunny and Curb Your Enthusiasm. 

My favourite podcasts are My Brother My Brother and Me, and Uhh Yeah dude.
