Music, Movies, and Books

I love all kinds of music. I grew up listening to classical music and playing the piano and violin, but I've since branched out into indie, alternative rock, and electronic. Some of my favorite artists include Coldplay, Walk the Moon, and Kygo.

Some of my favorite movies are Avengers, 21 Jump Street, the Lego Movie, X-Men, Lord of the Rings, and How to Train Your Dragon. I also enjoy watching anime and Japanese dramas.

My favorite books are A Tale of Two Cities, the Great Gatsby, Norwegian Wood, Ender's Game, Kite Runner, and Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet.
