One and the most important thing to know about me is that I made a book chatting site:)“Keep reading. It’s one of the most marvellous adventures that anyone can have.”
-Lloyd Alexander
Hey There!
I hope you and your family is safe during this time of crisis. I recently made an online book chatting website called- https://book-talks.com. Book-Talks is a platform where passionate readers like you and me and book readers from around the world can come and chat about their favourite books. For e.g. If you’ve read a famous book, then why not chat about the book with readers who have read the same book – share your thoughts on the book, the best moments and scenes in the book, post a fan edit for a part of the book you liked or disliked etc. I really really wish you would check Book-Talks and contribute in its aim for connecting book readers all over the world. Lastly, as said by Lloyd Alexander books are the best form of an adventure then why not share your adventure with others and also be of their adventures.
(PS: Thank you for spending your precious time reading this message. I Pinkie Promise that you will love Book-Talks and Book-Talks loves you back for visiting it.... Thanks again!! Have a wonderful day!)
Please check it out it right now!!! https://book-talks.com and don’t forget to sign up if you like it!!!

2. I have Pulmonary Hypertension (hbp in lungs), Eisenmenger's Syndrome (right heart failure), a PDA (heart murmur), and Sjogren's Syndrome (autoimmune disorder). I have been waiting for a double lung transplant since February 2, 1996. Never did drugs, drank alcohol in excess, nor smoked. All of my health issues stemmed from either the heart murmur I was born with, or came to me through family genetics.

4. I am totally addicted to pizza, soda, and candy. I own that proudly! :-)
5. I'm 5'3" tall, weigh about 103 lbs., and am on oxygen 24/7/365. I am usually a laid-back, funny, happy go luck ball of positivity. At the same time, I have an entire healthcare company, and a small handful of grown adults scared to make me mad because I can be a force to be reckoned with! I never use threats or violence, and rarely raise my voice. I use my intelligence & logical thinking. Luckily, I don't get that mad that often!
