killercahillHello, hello – and welcome!
I’m Kitty: lifelong tennis obsessive, book lover, music time-traveller, and your guide through whatever chaos this blog turns out to be. If you’re into swoony stories, strong opinions, grass courts, and discovering songs that ruin your life (in a good way), you’re in the right place.
🎾 So… Tennis?
Oh yes. Tennis is my oldest and most complicated relationship. I’ve been playing since the ’70s and watching since the days when McEnroe was yelling and Borg was brooding. I fell hard, never recovered, and I’ve been chasing the drama of a fifth-set tie-break ever since. Grass courts are my sacred ground, but I’ve been known to flirt with clay now and then – especially if the coaching box is interesting.
You’ll probably catch a few tennis-flavoured detours here – I mean, I could keep them separate, but where’s the fun in that?
📚 And Books?
Books are my not-so-secret second love. I read widely, but I always come back to stories with heart, heat, humour, and a little angst for seasoning. I’m a sucker for sharp dialogue, slow burns, found families, and anything that makes me clutch my chest and whisper “oh no” in the middle of the night.
You’ll find book reviews here, reading wrap-ups, wild opinions about fictional people, and probably a few “how did this turn into a character study of a side plot” posts. I read for pleasure, but also for emotional devastation. It’s a balance.
🎶 And You’re Fixing Your Music Taste?
Yes. Well. Trying. My playlists got stuck somewhere around 1996 and never quite recovered. So now I’m actively exploring – current charts, viral hits, forgotten gems, recommendations from strangers — anything to drag me into the 21st century one banger at a time. Feel free to send me your favourite song, album, or “I can’t believe I love this” guilty pleasure.
😺 Miscellaneous Kitty Facts:
💌 Let’s Be Friends
If you love reading, rambling, ranking fictional men by how well they’d survive a camping trip, or dissecting match highlights like it’s your job — I think we’ll get along great.
Say hi in the comments, or find me on Twitter, Threads or Instagram @SliceServeSwoon where I yell about books, tennis, and the occasional cursed earworm. Let’s swap recs, share feelings, and build a little cozy corner of chaos together.

😺 Miscellaneous Kitty Facts:
- My first tennis crush was Darren Cahill. I regret nothing.
- I’ve cried at Wimbledon more than once, and I will again.
- I once made a spreadsheet to track book tropes. It got out of hand.
- I collect bookmarks like they’re a competitive sport.
- I believe every book is improved by snacks, a playlist, and yelling at the characters out loud.
