Jinxes, vampire, dwarf! (lord-diavolo)

Why hello anon! :D Thank you for the ask - I’m really excited to get into these! (These are from the Fantasty Asks post).Jinxes- If you could be anywhere, where would you want to be? This one is hard! I’m an immigrant who’s lived in 4 different countries (born in Canada, lived in Belgium, Czech Republic, and am currently in the UK to be with my British partner) and I’ve been very lucky to travel to quite a few...Lately, I’ve been really nostalgic for Prague, St Petersburg, and Japan...but I’ll say Japan. It’s a stunning country and I found the people to be incredible. I’ve been lucky enough to be able to go a few times to different parts of the country (my partner works in an industry that forces him to travel a few times a year, so I can get discounted travel if I go with him) and it’s somewhere that I would never hesitate to go back to. It’s amazing that you can be in a country that has such sprawling metropolis but you can still find pockets of such peace...Vampire- Are you currently reading any books? If so, what book(s)?I always have such the longest reading list!I’m currently re-reading the Grisha Trilogy by Leigh Bardugo, Sacré Bleu: A Comedy d'Art by Christopher Moore (in English and French - I’m hoping it’ll help me some with my French humour!), and City of Thieves by David Benioff.I’ve also started Educated by Tara Westover, which was recommended to me by a friend (and I really like it, but fucking hell am I glad that I’m also reading comedy at the moment). The Grisha Trilogy is just fantastic fantasy and I love how it weaves together different cultures as well! Sacré Bleu is just freaking hilarious - it’s one of the few books that I won’t read in public because of the noises I tend to make when I’m reading it (I CAN’T HELP IT, IT JUST TICKLES MY FUNNY BONE!). City of Thieves is a nice piece of historical fiction that is sometimes funny, sometimes tear jerking, but always a joy to read. It’s set during the Siege of Leningrad and as somebody who loves St Petersburg, it’s always really interesting to me.Educated was lent to me by a friend who is the fucking funniest person on the planet - so when he said to me, “You’re going to struggle with this book because it sounds a lot like your family...but I think it’s important that you read it”, I was really shocked? But he was totally right. Incredible book, if it’s your sort of thing. Dwarf- Favorite tv show? UGH, THIS IS REALLY HARD. And harder in a much different way than question number one...I can’t pick just one!!! But here, have a list (because I suck at choosing I’M SORRY)- Bones- Sherlock- Midsomer Murders- Boku No Hero Academia / My Hero Academia- Death Note- Yuri!!! On Ice- Poirot- Jane the Virgin- Killing Eve- Kuroshitsuji / Black Butler

(Those either make me sound like Satan or like some psychopath ;; )(Oh, Psycho Pass is also super good!!!!!!!!!!!!!)ANYWAYIf there’s anything to take away from thisI’m very indecisive >>;Thanks again for the ask! 💕
