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!

Woodiwiss' The Wolf and the Dove was one of my earliest romance reads, too. :)

For years I read historical romance and contemorary romance. I then read one Angela Knight book (picked it up by accident) and have been hooked on paranormal romance ever since.
