I have always loved books and cannot
remember not being able to read. As a
child, I read everything I could get my
hands on, including cereal boxes if
nothing else was available! I was a
very eclectic reader until college,
when I began reading mostly mysteries.
After reading nearly every mystery by
women writers available (I just love a
strong female character!), I finally
began to expand my reading to include
romantic suspense around 1995.
Then in 2000, I picked up a
Nora Roberts book and quickly became
hooked on romance. Linda Howard's books
soon followed and my TBR pile
skyrocketed!
I began reviewing in 2003 and I enjoy it
greatly. I am returning to my eclectic
roots by now reviewing mysteries. I take
pride in a
well-written
review. I hope that the readers find my
reviews informative and that the
reviews help readers to determine which
books they might like.
My rewards are books, of course. It doesn't matter that I have hundreds of books on my to-be-read list, I still want the newest and latest books.
When I'm rewarding my dogs, nothing can beat moist dog food for them. They get it very rarely, so both dogs are most appreciative when they get this treat.
I'm happy to support such a good cause. I do love fur-critters. :)
Ooh, I hate whiny vampires. It's like they should just kill themselves already if they are that unhappy. An eternal life is worthless if you're miserable.
I can't remember a time when I couldn't read. The local librarians knew me by name. I was allowed to check out adult fiction long before my peers. This actually got me in trouble on an out-of-state custody visit to my father. I tried to check out a book the area librarian thought was inappropriate for my age (it didn't help that I always looked years younger than I was). Books were my favorite presents and gift cards for books are still my faves.
I'm in the middle of moving, so I can easily say I hate dealing with picking out an electric company. Over 50 (mostly small) companies are available with varying prices, contract terms, cancellation fees, and lots of fine print to read. Argh! But if I don't make a good choice I'll be stuck for months, if not years with a bad company.
I like all types of books, both light and dark paranormal appeal to me.
I tend to be cautious about what sites I make purchases from (I worry about fraud and identity theft), but I use my name and email address at numerous sites. It's eye-opening to read about online predators and the dangers out there.
I'm also not an author, but I am an addicted reader. I read several romance-related blogs and websites like FF for new books. I have discovered several new-to-me authors from word of mouth and these sites.
