Hey, I'm DanceWithShadows. I'm currently a registered nurse and midwife working in a government hospital in South Africa.
I'm always up for a chat, and I'm generally easy to get along with. I started reading stories here for a brief burst of.. enjoyment. But now I'm looking for stories that delve beneath the surface.
Interests I love to play piano, dance (I've done a brief course of ballroom and latin), and read. I also like going for outdoor hikes, reading on the beach, picnicking with friends. I love nature so anywhere with a breath of fresh air is good for me
Favorite Books Exodus by Julie Bertegna is a childhood favourite. The Riddler's Gift and Second Sight by South African author Greg Hamerton. The Castings Trilogy by Pamela Freeman. Brandon Sanderson is my favourite author, and I'm slowly making my way through his universe. (Any Fantasy will tickle my fancy)
Favorite Authors Greg Hamerton, Brandon Sanderson. I've enjoyed Terry Goodkind, and Diana Gabaldon but not enough to call them favourites
Favorite Movies Oooh too many! The Notebook, Moulin Rouge, Inception, A Walk to Remember, If Only, Avatar (James Cameron), Phantom of the Opera and its sequel Love Never Dies
Favorite Music Anything by Hans Zimmer, John Williams, Alexandre Desplat, Steve Jablonsky, or any other instrumental, classical or new age music. My favourite soundtracks are from We Bought a Zoo, Peter Pan and Ori and the Blind Forest. Guilty pleasure: punk-rock band Marianas Trench
I like music that has rhythm and that has meaningful lyrics. I also like music that has a beautiful melody and a singer that sings goosebumps to your skin
