welcome!

Hi, friends! My name is Lila and y’all may know me from my book blog, Hardcover Haven. Here on Life in Technicolor I’d like to focus mainly on non-bookish things that I’m obsessing over and thinking about.

about me!

As I mentioned above, my name is Lila and I’ve been running a book blog (Hardcover Haven) for 10 years now. I’m 30 years old and I’m a student currently pursuing a bachelor’s degree in cultural and physical anthropology. In my free time, when I’m not studying, reading, or blogging, I love singing (I’m a classically trained jazz, blues, soul, and choral singer), arts and crafts (especially fiber arts like knitting, crochet, and embroidery), journaling, writing, learning everything I can about pretty much anything and everything (I love a good Wikipedia rabbit hole), and spending time with my family, friends, and two cats.
