An introduction .. ~

Hello everyone !

So, I am new here, and therefore I have a little introduction for you all Coming here for the first time;

 

Who am I ?

My name’s Kristina; a 22 year old lady from Canada in a mostly unknowned maritime province. As you can maybe say with my reviews that got published from my other blog, I do only read in french for the time being; although I am fluent in both french and english.

I got started a while ago from my tumblr’s booklr, books-and-dachshunds.tumblr.com, and recently decided to try the wordpress format!

 

Other interrests ?

Apart of reading, I really like playing videogames; Anything nintendo, mostly, and also sims 3 & 4. related to my blog names, I am also really fond of dachshunds. I own two of them in the color black dapple, whom you will see in my later posts’ picture, and I love to participe in our maritime dachshund rescue’s events ! also I never have enough of dachshund items.. 

 

What got you into reading ?

Although my mom always read me to sleep, my godmother is the one whom I will always associate with my love of reading. She is the one to take me into our little “bookfair” kinds of thing happening, and always was a bookworm herself, unlike my mother who found the love of books only a few years ago.. So my godmother’s house would be surrounded in books and we loved to snuggle together on her couch and she’d read the adventures of Tintin’s comics to me while having each of the characters having a different voice. I have read them several times with her and alone and my faves has to be “le secret de la licorne / Le trésor de rackham le rouge” and “Les bijoux de la Castafiore”.

 

Your favorite genre of books ? 

I mostly read YA, romance (specially thoses cliché ones..), Paranormal (real ghost stories), aswell as Thrillers and just started some related with Mental health inside of them (kind of like self-help but not really).

 

Why only reading in french ?

Although I am aware of the fact that I’m missing a whole lot of new release everyone is on the hype train for, and might feel a little left out some times .. the reason is just because I am “training” my brain to get back into reading like I was when I was younger; but I unfortunately suffer from concentration issues after having anxiety & depression happening .. so I am just trying to get that one to “get solved” before trying to read in another language and getting myself frustrated as I cannot go along with it ..

 

What format of books do you enjoy ?

Currently sticking to the regular paper ones.. but I do wanna expand to E-books and audio books some time ! I am thinking the two latter ones would be great to start reading in english aswell, I just need to get the funds for it !

 

How quick do you read ?

I am definately on the slower side of that, still adapting to how I work evenings & weekends mostly, aswell as my concentration issues and my reading slumps … average is about a month or two per book once I do stick to it.
