A blog where I get passionate about literature, folklore, etymologies, occasional stupid shit, and the idyllic fairytale that is The Great British Bake Off. Feel free to give my book reviews a look so I can convince myself it's not a complete waste of time to write them. Twitter: @PuckRumhollow Letterboxd: https://letterboxd.com/bake/
