I haven't read as many paranormals in recent years as past but I love Ward's Black Dagger Brotherhood and Fallen Angels, Feehan's Ghostwalkers and Sisters and really need to catch up on the Dark series, Leigh's Breeds, oh, oh, oh, and don't forget Sleepy Hollow if you are watching TV this season!
I read for fun and read because... well, I have to. I brought my children up reading and my daughter looks forward to break in from college so she will have time to read. My son, not so much but now that he is in the Marines he tells me he finds more time to read in the bunks. If I particularly enjoy a book I will leave a review in the usual places and definitely share my opinion of a good book with friends. I also join in chat groups when work and time allows. Interaction with authors and other readers is great.
Except for a short period of time, I have always lived in a small town and raised my twins in a small town. The sense of belonging you get in a small town cannot be found in a city. Though knowing the sidewalks are rolled up at dark and driving quite a distance for anything is well worth the frustration.
