Welcome to my Profile and Contact page! Of course, you'd like to know a bit more about who is behind this book blog. Aside from my name is Jennilyn and I live in the Philippines, here are some details about me:
I am an accountant by profession but I secretly want to be a celebrity frog, like Kermit.
My favorite color is green. Specifically, shades of mint green, teal green, and olive green.
I got my blog name because when I created this blog way back in 2015, I am into Rurouni Kenshin.
It's ridiculous to pick book favorites but the The Harry Potter series is surely memorable for me. I've read them growing up with my sister and my three HS best friends. I guess it pretty much sealed the deal for me as a lifelong bookworm. If you're wondering what House I'm in, I am placed by The Sorting Hat Pottermore in Slytherin and I am mighty proud of it. (UPDATE: Re-sorted to Gryffindor, My Patronus is a heron.) My wand is 12 ¾ inches long, black walnut wood, dragon heartstring core, unyielding. Needless to say, YES I DO BELIEVE IN MAGIC!
Before the first HP book and in between releases of the sequels, I could read almost anything. I did classics to romance pocketbooks (yes, I started reading romance early) and everything in between. A classic book that left an indelible impression on me is "Great Expectations" by Charles Dickens. It's a big book and I can't believe I've read it. I am not much of a reader of old books now but this one I want to re-read someday. I’ll be forever haunted by Miss Havisham. Poor old creepy hag. I think I can relate to her.

I also love films! I watch a mishmash of genres but quiet films are the best. Probably, the movie that I can watch over and over again is the Before trilogy directed by Richard Linklater, starred in by Julie Delpy and Ethan Hawke.
I invented and live by the saying that: "If you must learn the true meaning of love, own a cat." Thus, I have two!
