Hahaha that's awesome! My parents are moving back to town, so I'm going to make my mother get a library card so that I can have an extra 10 books I can check out from Overdrive. :)

Hehe, the more library cards the better. :) I'm loving the checking out from the library. I just figured it out a few weeks ago. It really helps with all these challenges because there are some authors that I'm not sure if I wanna pay money for but renting them is okay in my book.

So you're the one who bought the beige ferrari. I always wondered."
How long ago was the Ferrari discussion, Ian! Maybe 6 mths ago? In another thread? LOL!

My local library is too small to have anything much in it :( ...So I was thrilled to be able to sign up to the library in our state capital because I work there. It has a half decent selection of audio from very mainstream authors. But in the end I've joined Audible as well - I LOVE my audiobooks. They keep me sane :)

Hi Zara and Leonie!!

I'll let you all in on a secret, Leonie is my daughter. However, having said that I certainly didn't realise until the other day that the first romance we had read was not only the same one, but also the same series. I introduced Leonie to this series in the first place but that wouldn't necessarily mean she would take me up on the suggestion and it therefore become the first romance book that she would read. LOL

It did cross my mind that you two must have known each other, but I figured friends/sisters. That is so great that you are both here, sharing this site! I hope you both love it :)

I know I love this site. I hope my daughter does as well. I love seeing all the different books that people read which are far more than I can count. It doesn't help keep my TBR list small that's for sure. LOL

That's for sure. LOL

I thought friends too!
That is so cool Zara! I love that you are sharing your love of books with your daughter - that it is romance is the icing on the cake! My kids all love to read, but don't share my love for happy endings ~sigh~

I agree it is great to share my love of reading with my daughter. In fact, she has recommended books for me to read in the past as well. It's wonderful for me to share this time with each other.

Finish the line: I know I'm a book addict because.... I keep buying books, practically devour them and when I read, a bomb could blow up nearby and I wouldn't notice. ;)

lol...I just put up a thing about favorite colors in another group and what they say about you. The funny thing is, I didn't include grey because I didn't think anyone would have it as a favorite color but seems it's not uncommon at all.
With gray as your favorite color, you are the middle of the road type, cool, conserved, composed and reliable. You tend to conform just to keep the peace.

What does Green say?

Maren - you could be the first here with grey as your favourite colour! I can't recall seeing it ;)

If green is your favorite, you have a deep need to belong, to love and be loved, and to feel safe and secure. You need acceptance and acknowledgment for the everyday things you do for others - just a 'thank you' is sufficient.
Green is apparently the second most liked color after blue.

My favorite colors are a toss up between green and blue. So what does blue mean?

Hey Tiff - nice to see you in this thread :)
Brandilyn *bumping into you here as well as in the MM Group* - I think your birthday may be very very very close to Fran's!

My favorite food is chocolate, cheesecake, cherries and so many others - I tend to waffle on the subject - then there are my eggs. I prefer them to be anything but grey or green, or blue for that matter.
My favorite color varies with the flower or the leaf.
I'm not a book addict.

I am a wife and mother of 3. I have been on GR for about 3 years and I am addicted to reading challenges.
Right now, I am mourning the end of Spartacus--a most beloved series on Starz. So don't be shocked when I start speaking like they do on the show (LOL).
But Game of Thrones is helping soothe me a little.
