I'm an avid reader, a bookworm of the
first order. Wherever I am, whatever
I'm doing, needless to say that a book
is always in my hand - at times to the
immense ire of my family. :-) But I'm
addicted, been addicted for practically
all my lifetime and I love it! Books of
all sorts, shapes, sizes and genres
populate my home. My tastes oscillate
from Jane Austen to Nora Roberts,
Charlotte Bronte to Catherine Coulter.
Although I read various genres, my
first love amongst books will always
remain Romances. Only through romance
books can I be swept away to Regency
England and waltz my heart out at
Almack's in one moment, and in the next
have a sexy cowboy charming my eyes
out!
Viva la romance!
