Rather than talk about me, I decided to give you some lists of my favourite fictions and art (in it’s broadest sense). Eventually, each will have a blogpost describing how I discovered it, what it means to me or how it influenced my writing. I’ve encountered so many wonderful new experiences and references through recommendations, I just like to share the love! So you can see what shaped my writing or just just use it to discover great new things worth reading, listening to or looking at. Your choice. Updated regularly.
