Hello there! Welcome to Desert Island Discoveries! If you've heard of 'Desert Island Discs' then you might have an idea of what this blog post is about. If not, then you're in for a treat! Each week, I'll be interviewing a user on the site, presenting a situation to them: you're trapped on a desert island with no broom or wand, and no sign of civilisation. Your only choice is to await rescue. What song, book, and item would you like to have to make the wait more bearable?

Our next castaway for this blog is the lovely Aurelius Wayfinder!

Song

Heat Waves - Glass Animals

This song always reminds me of summer! I don't know if I'd really want a reminder of the heat and weather while I'm stranded on a desert island, but I feel like the song is so good that it would make up for it. There's also a really great mash up with 'Sweater Weather' by The Neighbourhood. Either way, I'm looking for a fun, upbeat song so I can try and work on a suntan or something!

Book

Curse-Breaking for Dummies Textbook

I'm going to preface this by saying that I have no interest or skill at all in Curse-Breaking. On a desert island, though, I'm going to want something interesting and challenging to read, so why not pick up a new hobby or skill? Plus, Curse-Breakers travel all over the world and are always getting stuck in tricky situations. If I can get some inspiration to keep me going, then I'll do anything!

Item

A Telescope

Well, if I can't bring another book to keep me entertained, I might as well do some... bird-watching? Dolphin spotting? Sky-gazing? There's plenty you can do with a telescope if you think about it, so it seems like a good bet to bring with me. Plus, I can start a fire... somehow. I don't know how, but that's definitely a thing.
