Who’s Drinking All The Tea?

Hello there!

I’m Yvann, who likes reading and drinking tea, and multitasking, which is fortunate because it permits reading, with tea!

I’m 26, working as an accountant with a Big 4 firm in London (and also part-time – very part-time – as a German-English translator). I studied physics at uni (Oxford) and am now studying modern languages (Open Uni). I had the good fortune to choose parents who love languages, so I grew up bilingual (in German) and with a smattering of other European languages (which is making the language degree easier). I used to play a lot of cricket, quite well actually, but now I don’t do that any more.

I am well-educated, but not well-read – and now I’m trying to fix that. I went on a classics binge before my wedding and lost heart when I got to Dickens, but I’m hoping to rectify that at some point. Now that I’ve discovered this blogging business, there are so many recommendations coming through every day that I’ll never catch up with them all, but I’ve already discovered a few good authors through reading review blogs.

I live in East South central south-west London with my physicist husband, who’s tall and skinny and Scottish and very very clever, and our housemate. I am actually Australian, but no one seems to believe me when I say that. Given my Irish first name and heritage, Croatian grandmother and German birth, that’s not really surprising, is it?

If you’d like to say hello, use the email me link on the front page, or find me here on LibraryThing or here on Bookmooch or here on Goodreads.

    Loved “meeting” you here! Such an interesting life. I just teach and go home. :) And read, of course.

    Love the idea and love the name of your blog – reading and tea; my two favourite things!

    Ohh no! Sorry to hear your classics binge was stopped by the likes of Dickens, he’s a tricky, over wordy fella. I had to study Oliver Twist for English when I was younger and after swore I would never go near him again! Five/six years later though I found myself picking up Great Expectations and adoring it. :)

    Good luck with your reading and tea drinking Yvann, I’m a big fan of the combination too. ;)
