Here's my answers:1. I'm in
2. Why, both KC's series of course! I also love Kate Daniels, and George RR Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire Series.
3. Three reasons: 1) It's the Lannister family sigil, 2) It's a hat tip to Curran, my book boyfriend, and 3) dammit, it's just so cute!! Who doesn't want to cuddle it?! :D
4. I swoon over more people than I can list, but they usually fall into two categories: longish haired grungy guys and pretty boys with eyeliner. I don't really do Mr. Clean Cut.
5. CHOCOLATE!!! Anything with chocolate.
6. I'm a bit of a computer geek.
So, you beautiful people, tell me all about yourselves!

I'm Zeenat, I talk too much and use any excuse to be on goodreads and not do what I'm supposed to. You can call me Zee, a lot of people online do :)1. El Paso, TX, USA. Dry, deserty. I hate it here. But husband is in the army so we'll hopefully move within a few years!

Not really a dessert fan.
6. Anything else you want to share about yourself?
I don't know... I'm vegan, love my dog and am learning Japanese. That's all.
Good stuff people! Especially the desserts LOL! It's good to get to know a little bit more about each other. :)Zeenat, I'm also totally guilty of being on Goodreads way more than I should, but what the hell! It's about books, so it's intellectual and improving, right? It's not like we spend all day talking about toe sucking and sex. Oh wait ... !!!

6. Anything else you want to share about yourself?
Humm..I have 2 dogs and a kittie. Hate vegetables which is weird because everyone says I love'em when I was a kid. I sometimes disappear for a whole week when I'm reading a new series. Or I used to, not since I found you all here. That's it I think. Feel free to ask anything else!

Don't really know, just liked it I guess. It's the wallpaper for my phone and just sort managed to become my online picture.

The first couple actually sound more like sci-fi.
PS It doesn't look like you've uploaded an avatar yet. You've just got the default Goodreads pic at the mo! :)
Hi, I'm i m anonymous - I'm Duane's alter ego. I'm the one he blames all those erotic Curran Bimbo Room stories on, among others.1. I'm in a virtual world, so I have that going for me.
2. My favorite series right now are October Daye, Incryptid Novels, Anita Blake, and all Karen Chance books. Oh, and Kate Daniels. Well, their his favorite books.
3. I don't have an avatar as I'm trying for incognito.

6. I don't post much, well really not at all. This is like my first real post. I leave all my snide comments to that slave driver who keeps me locked away in the dark. I hope he knows I'll escape one day, and paybacks are hell! LOL!
Are you Jane Yellowrock's Beast?? Admit it! ;)
Hi ya'll! I'm Lexi. I'm still kinda new to goodreads.1. I'm currently living in Atlanta, GA (Where ya'll is considered acceptable grammar. Lol). Although I grew up in New England.
2. My favorite series: Kate Daniels, Jane Yellow Rock, Elemental Assassin, Fever Series, Dorina Basarab, Downside, & Guild Hunter to name a few. Non-UF/PNR: Anything Jane Austen, Wuthering Heights & Memoirs of a Geisha and biographies of historical figures. (I'm gonna stop there because I could just keep going.)

4. Currently Henry Cavill, Joe Manganiello & Idris Alba (I could keep going...really.)
5. My all time favorite dessert is a very rich chocolate cake. Which I will be seeing less of now that I have a personal trainer. Apparently these fitness types aren't big on chocolate. Go figure.
6. I am a designer and I love to do all sorts of crafty things. My top favorite movies are Legends of the Falls, Pride and Prejudice (the one with Keira Knightly), Mean Girls, Interview with the Vampire, Coming to America, and Finding Nemo (Because who doesn't love Dory?) I am also a pop culture junky and love trashy tv. My current tv addiction is The Real Housewives, Scandal and The Walking Dead.

Ooooh I love Ian Somerhalder. He is really good looking. I remember loving him as Boone on LOST. Good picks Jane and Lexi ;)
Scent marking is so last year! LOL! Attacking is always goo, though, and lots of fun. Plus, we need to come up with a new series since all ten of the Bimbo Rooms are done!
Mod
Hi,I'm Alissa and I just started reading Karen Chance's books a few weeks ago, and have now finished them all.
1. I am in the Santa Cruz Mountains
2. My favorite book is hard, maybe The Time Traveler's Wife. For series right now I would say it is a tie between Karen Chance and Karen Marie Moning.
3. I just loved this pic of a prevost squirrel, and hey we are all a little squirrely at heart.
4. Ewen McGregor or Harrison Ford.
5. Anglefood cake with cocoa whipped cream.
6. Having devoured Karen Chance's books, I would love suggestions for other paranormal, not too x-rated, funny, fun series.
Thanks!
Kate Daniels, October Daye, Night Huntress, Incryptid, to name a few.
Mod
I agree with Duane about the Kate Daniels series. That one is very good. Don't know the others.
Btw, have you read Karen Chance's short stories as well? There are also deleted scenes on her website.
@Sarah - yes, but who could we possibly get to diddle Marlowe?

Death Gate Cycle and Time Master Trilogy are not PNR or UF, they are more like epic fantasy.
Guardian of Eternity by Alexandra Ivy is definitely PNR with a different character getting a HEA each book. Its got vampires, shifters, fae , demons ect.
Aisling Grey by Katie MacAlister is more like UF. Its about dragon shifters & is quite lighthearted. There are 2 spin off series - the Light Dragons and the Silver Dragons.

For funny, check out Linda Wisdom's Jazz Tremaine and G.A. Aiken's Dragon Kin as well as anything by her alter ego, Shelley Laurenston.
