Hello! My name is Katja (pronounced “Kotsya”) and I have yet to meet an anglophone who can correctly pronounce my name, which is why I go by Kats a lot. I am a Canadian bibliophile, writer, and child of God. I have many favourite things (including bullet point lists, so you guys will be seeing those a lot) and I love to talk about the things I love.
I am a 20-something-year-old homeschool graduate with an editing certificate from University of California San Diego, a preacher’s daughter, and the oldest of nine children. I live in Québec and am bilingual French & English (an all-important skill when it comes to reading cereal boxes and product descriptions. Seriously, do you have any idea how much those two little squares of writing differ?) Being bilingual has its challenges, but I am embracing my weird French-English language as part of my heritage from both cultures. (The same goes for my mixture of ASL and LSQ xD).
I am a real-deal history nerd with strong British attachments and old-fashioned leanings. I’m also a complete and absolute bibliophage and librocubicularist. This blog will envelop all these interests of mine, except reviews, which have been moved to my reviews blog Old-Fashioned Book Love. I hope someone else can find it enjoyable, inspiring, and helpful. 🙂

Hi Katja! I just cam across your blog! It is so pretty! I also love hymns and singing! I really like it that you like pink roses! I also like how your blog looks so girly! It makes me sad today to see so many girls who aren't girly. Anyways… I really like your blog especially your blog title! ~Bethbethinboots.blogspot.com
