Hi!
G'day from Australia! (No, I don't say G'day in person, it's an oddly weird thing to say for my family, though we use it ironically!)

I have no idea what to say, but, let's give it a go!

My name is Jess, and I'm a 22-year-old now! I'm a University and past TAFE student from Australia. Currently, I'm studying Bachelor of Primary Education! I was originally studying something else but alas changed my direction. My other studies are also in Library and Information Services. Yes, I'm a major library lover! If you visit libraries or you are a librarian, definitely tell me of your experiences and what you like about libraries!

I love animals and have the cutest little terrors (a jack russell x pug and a kelpie x border collie). I used to also have some annoyingly monstrous but still pretty cute budgies (respectably named Oscar, for his grouchiness; and Mellow, for her chill attitude) but they have since passed.

Reading and writing are one of my many passions, and I try to read when I get the time and much the same for writing.

I love to hike when I get the time. If you travel to Australia, the Blue Mountains has lovely places to hike and honestly just enjoy the outdoors!

I love to write, I'm in the process of trying to flesh out a series I've been building for a while! Yes, this is still going on, but still many other stories are swimming around my brain.

I've grown up with Doctor Who, and yes, I am a Whovian! I love Jodie Whittaker's version of The Doctor! She brings this gorgeous lively energy and the dynamic between her and the other characters.

I'd like to call myself an amateur baker, mostly because I experiment with the food rather than follow a set recipe. Sometimes this works out and sometimes it, well, does not.

If you have any quotes, sayings or phrases in your native tongue, totally tell me, I'd love to learn of them and what they mean!

I absolutely adore any postcards you send my way, so send what you like!
But, if you want some inspiration, here it is:
- recipe postcards
- animals (birds, dogs, whales, snakes, frogs, deer, wombats and well any animal if I'm honest)
- books, bookish, literary, library-themed
- quotes
- forests
- nature
- deserts
- odd, wacky, weird
- art (any style)
- doctor who, class, torchwood
- she-ra and the princesses of power
- kawaii, anime, manga
- vintage
- handmade

If you have any book recommendations, definitely tell me! I'd love to read them!

I hope you all have a beautiful week!
