Denise’s comments from the Nothing But Reading Challenges group.

1. What are your favorite book genres to read? What do you least like to read?

I tend to read mostly romantic comedy and smut. Autobiography books, too.

I'm not into horror and not a big fan of mystery.

2. What are 5 of your favorite books?

Cinder
A Midsummer Night's Dream
Little Women
To Kill a Mockingbird
Bossypants

3. What was your favorite book as a child?

Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret

4. What's your favorite kind of book challenge?

Group challenges keep me accountable to someone, so I keep on track.

5. Favorite color?

Teal

I'm Denise. Mom of two teenage girls, 18 and almost 16. I'm a radiation therapist in California. I do the majority of my reading during insomnia bouts, on the treadmill at the gym, or waiting to pick up a kid, since neither one drives yet. I'm nursing a knee injury, and I'm almost back on it. It's taking time and frustrating me. I did 5 half marathons last year, but can't this year. I'm working toward a 1.5 mile swim from Alcatraz in October.

This is my first team challenge with NBRC. I'll need some guidance, I'm sure.
