I’m Alice and I love books with cosy, soft vibes, but also darker, moodier ones full of atmosphere. I love talking about dark academia books, witchy reads, gothic fiction and magical stories that feel a little eerie or enchanting. I read everything from classics to contemporary fiction, fantasy, mysteries and non-fiction, generally anything with beautiful writing and strong, immersive atmosphere. When I’m not reading, I adore baking, hot chocolate, crafts and creating a peaceful, aesthetic space for myself. I live in Oslo, Norway, and I’m so happy you’re here! ___ This video is not sponsored.
