About me
Hello Readers, my name is Shannon and I am the Creator behind this blog. Originally from England, I moved to Canada in 2019 to fulfill one of the many dreams that float around in my brain. As you guessed, I am a foodie, for as long as I can remember I have loved the meaning behind food and how it can make you feel, whether you are in a group or on your own there is always a meal or snack that can complete the atmosphere. I have fond memories of growing up and visiting my grandparents in northern England and there was always baked goods or amazing meals prepared, my grandma taught my mom how to cook, and the knowledge was passed down to myself and my sisters, we even have homemade recipe books filled with family secrets!
My love for books also started at a young age, taking part in the library reading challenge every summer. I lost the love when I became a teenager, reading was mainly for school work. But I rediscovered my love for books and reading when I was around 17, I found myself getting lost in the stories and imagining myself as the main character (of course the female)! The books on my bookshelf became a comfort blanket and I emersed myself in those foreign lands full of adventure. I have even got several of my own book drafts that i have tried to write! I developed a particular love for the smell of books, in particular Antique books, and would spend hundreds of pounds adding to my collection, much to my family’s dismay! Unfortunately when I relocated I had to leave them behind but one day I will be able to ship them here and build my dream library! For now though i have my Kindle to keep me satiated.
The idea behind this blog was to share my thoughts and review the books that I love, whilst discovering new authors and giving my two cents worth, and as reading tends to make me hungry I wanted to share some of those recipes that mean something to me and hopefully will begin to mean something to you too!
I hope you all enjoy reading and trying out some of the books and recipes for yourselves, and of course, if you have any recommendations my Instagram and Email are linked on the home page!
With great thanks,
The English Hungry Bookworm xoxo
