Birthday: March 13
Favorite Color: I'm on a pink kick because of my three year olds obsession with pink.
Favorite Food: Does coffee and Biscotti count?
First Romance Novel Read by Julie Garwood.
Favorite Romance Genre: Paranormal or chic lit.
Finished the line: I know I'm a book addict because I can't say no to review books or buying a book that catch my eye. I have my books double stacked even triple stacked on my shelves because I've run out of room. I've only read 10% of my collection and keep adding new books daily physical and ebooks. Plus I never leave the house without a physical book and at least one kindle (I have a keyboard and the new hd fire).

LOL! For me, Mastercard would have to call... But since I mostly use my credit card rewards for Amazon credit, I don't see that happening! Although I'm sure it would make my husband happy if they did. =)

And mmmmmm, cheeseburger.... that is a definite weakness!

And ice cream is a weakness too! =)

They just don't get it and would probably be a lot happier if they did! Certainly they'd be more fun!! =P
