message 1101: by Rachael (new)

Rachael (raychs) Birthday: February 12th
Favorite color: slate blue
Favorite food: Italian
First Romance Novel (that you can remember): read a bunch in Jr. high, but don't recall the titles, it was Lauren Willigs Pink carnation series that lit the spark again, now I'm crazy addicted.
Favorite Romance Genre: Historical for sure, but I like contemporaries, and mysteries
finish the line... I know I'm a book addict because: my 3 constant websites are our library's website where I have mine and my husbands hold account filled with my requests. Amazon for what the library doesn't have and good reads to know what to read next. plus I look forward to waiting room, stop lights and any moment when I can whip out a book to read.

Favorite color: blue
Favorite food: Sushi or pasta
First Romance Novel (that you can remember):haha I got caught in 5th grade reading one of my mother's Indian romance novels...the teacher called her to the school and everything. I guess the first romance novel that really got me hooked was "Years" by Lavyrle Spencer.....I still go back and read it every now and then!
Favorite Romance Genre: I used to be strictly historical, but I've branched out in the past few years and would have to say my new favorite is paranormal romance. I also like a good bit of YA stuff as long as there's some sort of love story in it. If there's no romance, I can't read it.
Finish the line... I know I'm a book addict because: I read at least 1-2 books per day!! I scour the internet looking for new material. I just joined Goodreads and I've been pretty much obsessed with it. I'm especially excited about the challenges here!

Birthday: August 1
Favorite Color: Usually green, but sometimes purple
Favorite Food: Pizza!
First Romance Novel Read (that you can remember): Daddy Long Legs
Favorite Romance Genre: Definitely PNR, despite the comments from my family
Finished the line: I know I'm a book addict because my husband is threatening to call the Hoarders show to do something about my piles of books. I started being an addict very young. I had to read above my year, because I kept running out of books at my school library. When I was in sixth grade, my parents grounded me from the library because my personal reading was interfering with my schoolwork. I now have a very active library card, in addition to spending about 10% of my income on books.
