Almost as soon as she was potty trained, Benedicta Foo has been reading, and hasn’t stopped since. From sappy romance novels by Cecilia Ahern she’d never admit to owning, to the pages of lyrical poetry by David Levithan, the former Books editor of theurbanwire.com has them all, and still wants more to fill up a secret, underground library she swears she’ll have in her future home. Besides spending hours deciphering symbolisms in her favourite literature texts and trying to resist the appeal of eBooks, Benedicta also spends her free time drooling at and buying vintage clothes, framing up vintage photographs, fawning over vintage typography, and eating copious amounts of dim sum. Also, coffee’s not her cup of tea.
