Birthday: July 27
Favorite Color: Pink or Purple or Blue or Red, depends on the day
Favorite Food: potato chips and chocolate - not necessarily together, although I've eaten that, too
First Romance Novel Read: probably something by Georgette Heyer, Victoria Holt, or Phyllis Whitney - after I outgrew Nancy Drew and Trixie Belden for being too 'tame'
Favorite Romance Genre: all of them except some paranormals
Finished the line: I know I'm a book addict because (1)I can't go anywhere, even to church without a book in my purse [after all, you never know when the pastor may need to take a break in the middle of the service and you would have to have something to do, right?] and (2) I have somewhere between 1,000 and 2,000 books in my TBR stacks, shelves, tubs, etc. My husband counted them at one point and came up with about 1,000 - I didn't tell him about the plastic tubs full that I have stashed here and there throughout the house and under the beds, so the total is probably closer to 2,000 but I'm not telling him! (at least until he trips over them!)

I love contemporary romance and women's fiction-- in fact, I write it. I also like the occasional historical romance. I know I'm a book addict because I make sure I never run out fresh books to read-- kinda like a junkie making sure he always has a stash!

Here's something a little out of the ordinary about myself: I'm horrible at making crafts. I didn't receive the craft gene. My projects always look wonky, as if a child made them. I'm not proud of that, but am just being honest. :/
Anyone else lousy at anything, and care to share?

Hi Lynne.
