I live in the greater Toronto area, but I was originally born in Dundee Scotland. I have travelled a lot growing up and have also lived in Germany and the U.S.A.

I love to read! I will read just about anything, and I'm usually stubborn enough to finish it, even if that means putting it on a shelf and trying again a few years from now. ;op Pig headed I guess!!!

This is a great series and I find it gets better with each book. I'm totally hooked.
You may also like the TV series based off of the books called "True Blood".
I would recommend reading the first few books though before watching it.
