Introduce Yourself Part Two Showing 1,601-1,650 of 1,852

[Christine PNW]

Hello! I just signed up for WOBBLE, and am really excited to participate!

About me:

Birthday: 2/28
Favorite Book(s): The Lord of the Rings, To Kill A Mockingbird, Pride and Prejudice, Harry Potter, Anne of Green Gables
Favorite Book Genre: I can't choose, I like mystery, fantasy, YA, historical fiction & classics
Favorite Author: Agatha Christie
Favorite Color: Red
Favorite Food: chocolate
Any Pets: 4 cats, 2 dogs
If I could live anywhere in the world it would be: Sweden
Finish the line: I know I'm a book addict because....I have reached the point that if I never bought a new book, I will never be able to read every book on my kindle/bookshelves. And there is no chance that I'll stop buying books.

[Calypsa]

Here goes...

I don't actually have a favorite book. I think the sentence "I am a book addict because..." should be ended by "...because I don't have a favorite book" or a favorite genre for what it's worth. Anyone who looks at my reads can see how varied my readings are. And I genuinely think that this is one of the best things abouts reading, being able to love so many different books.

Then, I do have a favorite author or two... First is Guy Gavriel Kay, who's just amazing in the fantasy genre. Next is nicolas Dickner, a writer from Quebec, where I live, who can turn ordinary, uninteresting things, like lemons or containers, are turn them into magical, weird, fascinating items. I don't know how he does it, but I love it nonetheless.

In the random stuff, my favorite color is red, my favorite food is ribs, my favorite animal is the tiger, my favorite dessert is probably brownies... i have a cat, black with a triforce on the nose, which meant she had to be called Zelda.

I'm also a gamer and an anime fan. I think that sums me up in a nutshell.

I applied to Unseen University of Ankh-Morpork, but all they would offer me was a degree in optometry.

I wasn't able to force my way into the Jedi Academy.

So I stayed at home and started writing books.
