Favorite Romance Genre: Paranormal/Fantasy. I like the books where the characters start up a romance slow, like the Mercy series or the Kate Daniels series.
Finished the line: I know I'm a book addict because I have over 30 pages of samples to read on my Kindle and even though that is more than enough for a while, I am on Goodreads and Amazon daily downloading more. I went through a huge gift card in 4 hours and bought only books with it for christmas. I can't imagine my days without at least 2-4 hours of reading. I would go crazy. My books are a way for me to escape stress, and just lose myself in another world if only for a little while.
