    <about><![CDATA[Stating the obvious, my name is Holly.  And I have an addiction to books.  I can spend hours in front of the computer, making my Goodreads to-read list grow ten-fold.  I frequently sit on my butt, reading just about any book I can get my hands on.  My favorites are YA fantasies.  I've been hooked on them since I was 9 and introduced to Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.  I became interested in vampires after reading The Historian, but I became addicted after reading Twilight and The Vampire Academy series.<br/><br/>YA romance is my next favorite category, as long as there are fantasy themes.  I sometimes read normal romances like Sarah Dessen, but I don't like them nearly as much as, say, Vampire Academy.<br/><br/>Well, that's more about my book preferences than about me, but if you want to be my friend, that's probably somewhat helpful!]]></about>
