Here is heart for you: ♥ ♡

I'm an April baby, my favorite color is green, and there's no way I could choose a favorite book.
I'm an addict, because I usually have several books going at the same time (physical/kindle/audio) and feel weird if I don't. I will also be more concerned about moving/unpacking my books in a new place than furniture. (I bought bookshelves before I bought a bed--slept on a series of air mattresses.) ;)

As you see we have plenty of different challenges. Just be careful, they are addictive. P

Favorite Book(s): Hard to say - there are so many! One of my favorites is Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien. Another, a YA fantasy fave, is Keturah and Lord Death.

In sides, I'd say a nice green salad (especially with ripe red tomatoes) smothered in one of my favorite French dressings, mashed potatoes, and sweet corn on the cob drowned in either real butter or buttery spray. (Yes, I'm a food junkie.)
Any Pets: One - a chihuahua mix, about 10 lbs. :)
If I could live anywhere in the world it would be: Iceland! Definitely ICELAND!
Finish the line: I know I'm a book addict because.... I have more books than some libraries, and I keep my library cards (yes, cardS) maxed most of the time. :)
