As we can see from my Goodreads, I will read anything with text on it! Like . . . anything. I love Scandinavian crime novels, and YA..."

I'm not big on horror either but I'll read almost anything else.

I just finished Silver in the Blood and I would love a sequel. I don't think it would be weird at all, even if you had to wait. Those characters are so amazing and there is so much more in that world. You should definitely consider it. It was awesome!

I had the main points planned out but many parts of the journey surprised me. I had no idea the part Kishan or Mr. Kadam would play and I never envisioned a brother for Anamika.

I've always got more than one going at a time. I have a physical book by my bed and then an audiobook on my phone and sometimes I have a different one in my car or my purse.

I would have loved to have been a birthday party girl. I made party trays for a grocery store before so I guess that's the closest I've come. In another life I think I'd like to be a party planner.

That's awesome! I always wanted to be a teacher too. That would have been my choice of a career.
