My name is  Helena and I am 27 years old (although I barely look 17...). Since  I learned to read at the age of about 6, I have  devoured books (save a  few years of university studies which totally  killed my reading buzz).  I'm kind of new to the whole YA scene but I  appreciate it more every day  that goes by, although I'm older than the  intended target audience. 
I was born  and raised in Sweden, where I still live together with my husband. We just bought a big old countryside school that we're rebuilding into a house so a lot of my time is now spent renovating instead of reading.
I am  a language teacher (English and German) and I am currently teaching 13- to  18-year-olds German. Fun, but challenging!
