I've been an avid bibliophile since I
was a small child growing up in the
Midwest. More than thirty years later,
a move to the East Coast, and nothing
has changed my reading habits, except
that I no longer have to do it under the
blankets with a tiny light!
The genres I enjoy are mysteries,
thrillers, chick lit (especially Brit
chick lit!), contemporary fiction,
cosies... pretty much anything except
paranormal and historical stuff.
My favourite authors are Brad Meltzer,
Michael Connelly, John Lescroart, Marian
Keyes, Jane Green, Laura Lippman, Meg
Cabot, and Lisa Scottoline. But there
are a whole bevy of others that I adore.
(And I have the three
PACKED-to-the-gills IKEA bookshelves to
prove it!)
When I'm not reading, I love to knit,
watch a variety of television shows,
cook, and socialise with my friends.
I'm a huge sports fan, but I especially
follow football, NASCAR, tennis, hockey,
and most Olympic sports.
I always history classes in school, but I learnt more from my day at a living history museum with my mother (during holiday) than I did during most of my history classes put together! I wish that all history classes made the information as interesting and relatable as the narrators did.
It doesn't really matter to me whether it's a slow burn or an instant attraction, as long as isn't that "yes, yes, we all know you're going to end up together, so why is it taking SO long" type. I think there's a fine line between "slow burn" and just stringing the reader along.
As for what I pair my book with, I like hot tea or hot chocolate, depending on the season.
This sounds like a great book - right up my alley! Good luck with it!
