    Ha! I'm a useless Aussie, sorry. I enjoy playing tennis and football/soccer and watching the latter, but that's honestly about it. Going to use not being Victorian as an excuse for the absence of knowledge of AFL, though, lol. Thanks!

    *dips toe into the water*

    Thank you! I'm a poor excuse for an Australian what with my fear of the sun, dislike of beaches and lack of interest in sport and alcohol, lol, but thank ye. XD Oooh, very nice. That sounds fantastic. My knowledge of that side of things is mostly limited to inspired/retellings (from Novik...

    Oh, how fun! I don't think New Spring was at the library when I first borrowed and promptly bought the series, but it definitely was by the time I got to the latter books and/or re-read a year or two later. Whether because of the brevity or the smaller POV focus or the 'friendship' between...

    Thank you very much! Appreciate it. Can just add it to the my pile of 'Oops, Wish I Could Turn Back Time' choices. We love paying the university back for a degree that isn't and won't be used, lol. But seriously, there was a lot worthwhile about it, and at least you now have something to...

    Thank you so much! I tend to fixate quickly and easily, and at times, those burn out within weeks of deep-diving every last old LiveJournal community or YouTube channel, but at other times, they last the distance. Interest definitely has waxed and waned over the years, but my love of reading...

    Thank you! Very much appreciate it. No wrong choices when it comes to love of mythology, IMO. I enjoyed Tolkein but I have to say, I generally sat myself on the Lewis end of the spectrum when it came to those two friends. Though that may be the religious upbringing speaking, lol. Tolkein was...

    *dips toe into the water*

    Wonderful! And heh. I mean, it happens to all of us at one time or another, I suspect. I have literally zero friends or social life and that's been the case for about fifteen years, so that kind of helps me get my reading and puzzling hours in. ^^ Thank you! Oh, that sounds absolutely...

    Thanks so much! Woah, that's an interesting one. I'm afraid my knowledge of hockey lives and dies by the very few romance books I've read that focus on players thereof, lol. One of my cousins lives in Canada and his family are very, very into it, though. As far as what I listen to goes, it's...

    Thank you! I'm not at all well organised, in truth, but I love a good list or table - always have. I just love tracking similarities and differences, I think, and it helped with memory. Miller is absolutely fantastic and I can't tell you how much I'm looking forward to her take on Persephone...

    *dips toe into the water*

    Thank ye very much! And heh. It's the most awful thing, truly. "List an interesting fact about yourself". Um, nope, nothing. Zilch. "Fine. Tell me your name." My what? Name? Ummmm. Yes. I have one. 1990. Damn. Name, right? Let me see. I wrote it down somewhere to prepare. The internet is much...

    *dips toe into the water*

    Thank you! I'm a little old school, honestly, because my love stemmed from my father's love of the same. I usually go for grid logic puzzles (sometimes on puzzlebaron!) mostly in-app or in a book from the newsagency. I'm also a sucker for traditional crosswords, clueless crosswords, and...

    *dips toe into the water*

    I always found being instructed to introduce oneself about the most anxiety-provoking thing possible, but I'll likely just go on lurking forever if I don't take a deep breath and do it. And so. I'm 32, Australian, and when I like something, I tend to become obsessive very quickly and very...
