Re: One Touch of Scandal (2:12am September 26, 2010):

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. :)

Re: Beloved Vampire (4:50pm August 17, 2009):

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.

Re: Killer Cuts (4:07pm May 21, 2009):

All these books look great! I'd love to win some of them!

Re: Would-Be Witch (10:15am March 16, 2009):

The Roaring Twenties. But definitely not the Great Depression that followed.

Re: The Club (10:11am March 10, 2009):

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.

Re: Safe By His Side (5:40pm March 5, 2009):

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.

Re: Turn Coat (3:50pm February 21, 2009):

Sounds like a fun event. Enjoy yourselves!

Re: Evil Without A Face (1:28pm January 29, 2009):

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.

Re: Wicked Burn (1:57pm January 26, 2009):

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.

Re: At Grave's End (12:34pm December 31, 2008):

I love this series!
