Hi I’m Squirrel,
and I like to read.
I live in Hamilton, in the Waikato region of New Zealand in a lil’ house with my husband and son.
Ever since I was a lil nipper I’ve loved reading. As a child I would hoard books and hide under the blankets with a pen light to read late into the night.
Things have not changed.
Still a book hoarder (although often digital) and still staying up late reading into the night.
