RISHAM
Actor Blogger
Location: England
Twitter: @RishamNadeem
Quick Bio: Risham is a fresher History student at Oxford University who accepted, long ago, that fictional men are so much better than real ones. After reading and shelving CLOCKWORK ANGEL a couple of years ago, she rediscovered TMI/TID very recently when, a couple of months ago, after finishing her gruelling summer exams, she went to her local bookshop to pick Harry Potter And The Philosopher’s Stone. They didn’t have it in hardback so she decided to have a glance to see if something else caught her eye. CITY OF BONES did. She read it in a few hours and ordered the following four books, and CLOCKWORK PRINCE, off Amazon the next day. Risham can’t remember being this excited for a book series/film adaptation since Harry Potter and, given that she was seven when the first film came out, that’s a lot of excitement. She plans to go to the London premiere and beg Jonathan Rhys Meyers to love her.
Favorite TMI Book: CITY OF GLASS
Favorite TMI Character: Magnus
Favorite TID Book: CLOCKWORK PRINCE
Favorite TID Character: Will
Fun Fact: Risham owns a copy of A Tale Of Two Cities, dated to the 1890s. She’s seriously considering writing Will’s dedication into the cover.
