About Me

P.S. The “+” is silent.

Hi, I’m Alexa, but my friends call me Lexa, Lexi, Alexaviar, Alexplusa or any variant thereof. As long as you keep it nice, I’ll likely respond to anything.

Welcome to my blog. If you’ve clicked on the “About Me” button I take it that I (hopefully) already caught your curiosity. That makes me happy. I’ll try to keep things exciting, and not lose you with a boring article about why I’m still a fan of bell-bottom jeans. I might however bug you with a lot of literary inspired stories, whether the topic is food, travel or fashion – Most likely Austen or Pratchett sparked the idea.

My page is unique mess, kind of organised, but not too much to ignore the deurmekaar girl inside of me. So, if you’re looking for some weekly lifestyle inspiration, personal rants & nerd news with a major focus on books and fantasy tales, then you’re at the right place.

Also, cats. Let’s talk about that.
