Favorite Romance Genre: Contemporary, historical, Suspense
Finished the line: I know I'm a book addict because....I am always buying books (or wanting to buy books) and can never seem to stop reading. Even when I am working all I want to do is pick up my book and start reading. And when I am reading I HATE being disturbed, it aggravates me to no end when people try talking to me while I am reading.

First romance novel read: Oh geez......does "Are you there God it's me Margaret" count? She did lke Phillip.
Fave romance genre: Modern stories. If it takes place before 1990, I am not interested.

I know I am a book addict because I get into reading modes where I ignore friends for weeks at a time! Oh and Jennifer, I too use the toilet as an excuse to read! It's an escape from my kids.

When I was 13 or so, I decided to be a vegetarian and I boldly declared to the world that we shouldn't be eating meat. About six months later I found myself sitting in the toilet eating a cold cheeseburger. Perhaps rather than eating the cheeseburger in the toilet I should have tried a little humble pie in the kitchen.


message 1918: by Jane (PS), Moderator (new)

Jane (PS) | 24347 comments LOL Ian - that is hilarious! Have you overcome your vegetarian hump? (I can't imagine that the toilet is the most sanitary of eating venues ;)


message 1919: by Ian (last edited Jun 26, 2012 03:43PM) (new)

Ian (setaian) | 203 comments That's when I decided to extricate myself from the mess I'd gotten myself into. I do eat meat now. A friend of mine is traveling to the U.S. next month. Last week I rang up the airline, told them I was his PA and told them he was on a strict fruit diet. They have him down for fruit platters for all meals. He's a big ex-Army guy and he likes his meat.

message 1922: by Jane (PS), Moderator (last edited Jun 28, 2012 06:50PM) (new)

Jane (PS) | 24347 comments Welcome Iphee! I haven't ever tasted fried yam, or in fact any yam I suspect... Off to google yam to see if I need to expand my taste-buds horizons ;)

***edit***

OK - I eat sweet potatoes nearly every day, but if they are the other type of yam - the 'original' yam - then I may have had them in Fiji or NZ... Clearly I love sweet potato but we can't buy the other type of yam in the supermarket.


message 1923: by Ian (new)

Ian (setaian) | 203 comments Yams are similar to sweet potatoes...Ive never actually seen them in Australia but I've eaten them in a bunch of countries in South East Asia and the Pacific. They're really delicious.
