Member Choosing: Michelle T. has been a GoodReads member since July, 2012 and a participant of Happily Ever After Café since February, 2014. She joined GRs out of curiosity, and got involve with reading clubs because she had never being in one. Besides reading, she likes to cook (most dishes are Colombian and Venezuelan), cross stitch, spend time with her family (including the pets), and sleeping. Her family has a very mixed culture: Colombians, Italians, Venezuelans, and Americans. She’s really sensitive, and sincere (her mom used to say it was a good and bad thing). She loves life, and believes she can learn something from everyone that passes through her life and everyday that goes by…
