What kind of books do you read during anxious times like these? I always get drawn back into apocalyptic fiction, and thought I'd share some favourite and my current to read list. Wilder Girls was gifted to me by the publisher. 📖follow what I'm reading on GoodReads: http://www.goodreads.com/booksandquills insta | http://www.instagram.com/booksandquills blog (travel, food & London) | http://booksandquills.co.uk twitter | http://www.twitter.com/booksandquills freelance website | http://www.sannevliegenthart.co.uk Hoi!

Now that I live in London, I still mostly have my American accent, but with lots of British vocab mixed in.
