Hi Melissa! I'm Lauri from Hawaii. Couldn't help but notice you said you love all things Disney... Me too! I was almost going to put it in my intro, but some people think it's selly. I can talk Disney forever! We speak in movie quotes at work and home. I'm jonesing for a visit - we haven't been to Disneyland since 2012. Hopefully we'll make it out this year. We've never been to Disneyworld. It's one of my dreams....

Hi Caitlyn! I'm Lauri from Hawaii. Just had to tell you I'm a huge Harry Potter fan, too. I must've read all except the last book at least 3 times. (The last book is just too sad.)

Hi Rylie! What did you think of 'The Red Tent?' It's one of my personal favorites. It made me seek out all of her books. I just wish there were more of them.

I recently discovered Nora Roberts while looking for a trilogy to read for the Pop Sugar challenge last year. She's great! Have you read her Three Sisters books? Loved them!

Favorite genre: historical fiction, mystery
Favorite author: all the ones listed above plus Leslie Meier, JK Rowling, Peter Tremayne, Christopher Moore, Charlaine Harris...
Favorite color: pink and turquoise
Favorite food: pizza and chocolate
No pets at this time, but I had everything while growing up and would still love to have a couple dogs and cats
If I could live anywhere in the world? Well duh, I'm already in Hawaii! I would love to travel the world, though...
I know I'm a book addict because I need to read like people need food and air. I read between 5 to 12 (or more) books simultaneously. Book addiction?
Hope everyone is doing great... I am extremely happy today! Got a much-needed haircut this week and tonite am gonna get it colored. Hope to take at least 10 years off myself!! Also got a bunch of clearance tops for under $50! It's nice and quiet and cozy here. Hope to finish off a couple more books by tomorrow. I'm torn between reading and the Harry Potter weekend.
I have finished
Could someone add it to the spreadsheet, please?
So there's the castle detour... Am reading The Abbey for an A book... Do we need any other letters for a spell out?
Also reading Red Rising and An Ember in the Ashes
Either of those should be good for a rebellion, right?
Castle detour? I'm almost done with The Queen of the TearlingI am so swamped at work, I'm brain dead! But Im still alive!!
