General

I'm a book nerd through and through, but check out the book section for more on that. Went to school to train horses, so that's a massive part of my life. Other interests include staring at my husband for uncomfortably long amounts of time, eating too much sushi, and sleeping in positions that usually wind up with my not being able to move my neck in the morning. I'm a classically trained pianist and have been playing my entire life. I'm a military wife, but not one of those 'address my by my husband's rank' kind of girls. Ew, no. Grew up riding horses and even went to college for it. Still ride whenever I can.

Music

B.O.C., AC/DC, Journey, Queen, Pink, Imagine Dragons, Hozier, Avicii, Mikey Wax, Pentatonix, Calum Scott, The Lumineers, Dermot Kennedy, Barnes Courtney, Louden Swain, Tim McGraw, Luke Brian, Ryn Weaver, Flordia Georgia Line, Sam Hunt, Thomas Rhett, Dolly Parton, Carrie Underwood... I love most music. I also listen to piano music, as I'm a classically trained pianist. My favorite composers are Ludovico Einaudi, David Lanz, Billy Joel (he totally counts, ok?)

Movies

I don't usually just sit and watch movies, but I enjoy the Marvel series. I am a fan of movies that actually have a story. I Am Sam, Spirit: Stallion of the Cimmaron, any princess Disney movie (top favorites are Rapunzel, Moana, Princess and the Frog), Home, The Pianist, Into The Wild, The Zookeepers Wife. I also like documentaries, especially if they relate to true crime; American Murder, Ted Bundy Tapes, Athlete A, Black Fish, Abducted In Plain Sight.

Television

SUPERNATURAL. Honestly, I don't sit down too often and just watch TV either, but there are a few that I love. Supernatural for starters. Heartland, Lucifer, Sex Life, Manhunt: Unabomber, The Witcher, Mindhunter, Unsolved Mysteries, Anne With An E, Gilmore Girls, Merlin, Ginny and Georgia, Queen's Gambit, Umbrella Academy.

Books

Oooh where do we start? Well, I run a BookTok account, for starters. _airwreka_reads_ if y'all want to follow me there. ACOTAR, The Bargainer Series. I also really like fluffy books; Don't Read The Comments, Red White and Royal Blue, Tweet Cute, most anything by John Green. A Touch of Darkness, Neon Gods, The Song of Achillies, Circe, Master of Salt and Bones (Phantom of the Opera retelling), Bound in Sacrifice. The Secret Life of Bees, Skeleton King (check trigger warnings), anything by Roald Dahl.

Heroes

Like... who we look up to? Or who our favorite protagonist is? Because Marvel just classified Loki as a Hero, so yeah. I'm a Loki stan. But IRL heros? My huband. Cliche, but hey, I love the sucker. Otherwise, my parents are pretty good mentors, my current boss, my boss I had in England, my childhood piano teacher. Celebrity heros? Tom Hiddleston, hands down. Robert Downey Junior, anyone who ever escaped a Serial killer.
