First Romance: (after Twilight) Fantasy Lover by Sherrilyn Kenyon

Favorite Romance Genre: it really depends on my favorite authors. I like HR, PNR, RS and CR.

I'm going to admit the Twilight series kicked it off for me. After reading that I became possessed with romance novels. I had to get my fix some how. The whole "happily ever after" is something I crave. However, I've found plenty of authors that has series that still includes previous heroes and heroines intertwined with the current book. Those series are the best because it almost feels real. That's why I love J. R. Ward, Lisa Kleypas, Maya Banks, Dianne Duvall and so many more. These authors have beautiful minds and I so adore their talent.

Aside reading my ebooks, I enjoy listening to audio versions as well. My favorite narrators are Kirsten Potter, Harry Berkeley, Jim Frangione, Rosalyn Landor and Bianca Amato. Their voice and narration talents makes the characters come to life. I've found plenty of books that is better to listen to than reading it alone. My all time favorite is Love in the Afternoon by Lisa Kleypas. I've listened to this book countless time!

Thanks for reading my "about me"! Happy reading! (-;

Welcome Debra, Dolores and Mystehry

Yz looks after the birthday list Debra, and I'm sorry to say that I'm not sure how she updates this (or how often).

Dolores, I often wonder what I would have done with all those paperbacks if ebooks hadn't come along...

I came into the current romance books we all read here via Twilight with Fantasy Lover being close to my first book as well, Mystehry. Snap!

Aaw! I try to just tell him the parts I know he'll find interesting, especially the steamy scenes ;) He's pretty good about listening part. Glad to know that there's someone else out there that goes through what he does... At least he's not alone! ;) Yay us!

I started to read the book at stoplight as well - traffic can suck sometimes and plus I'll be constantly thinking about the story and I have to know what happens next. I'd listen too but it won't work in my case - one, I don't have any MP3 or anything.. Sound system is broken in my car.. two, I'm deaf so sure I can hear when it's turned up high but all of these words would just sound so garbled and then I'll have a headache because my brain is in overtime trying to make sense of these... Nah, reading with my eyes is a much better option!

Double chocolate truffle : ( this ones my fave) -www.tarladalal.com/Double-Layered-Cho... I normally make this triple chocolate by adding a whipped milk chocolate icing on top for design or whatever.

Normal truffle :Just replace the white chocolate layer with dark chocolate

You can replace the eggless sponge cake recipe with your own egg recipe if you want. The cake itself is v v easy.Enjoy :)
