Finished the line: I know I'm a book addict because even though I'm a nursing mom and I haven't had more than 3 hours uninterrupted sleep in 7 months, I'd rather read than sleep.

[MountainKat, Moderator]

Hi Clio! Bravo to for nursing your babe! (That is the soapbox I was willing to get one with my DIL. Being a midwife I think how a baby is born is really important, but how it is nurtured matters even more!!)

Oh, that is bad...

LOL that is really taking it to an extreme I normally want out quickly too.

I read P.S. I love you too!!

Between Calila and Teresa, you could keep each other happy! One could buy what the other sells! =P

I think owning a book store would be wonderful, but I have completely switched over to ebooks so maybe an online store would be more appropriate for me...

Welcome to you both!

First Romance Novel Read (that you can remember): Devil's Bride
Favorite Romance Genre: contemporary
Finished the line: I know I'm a book addict because I bought a spare kindle to keep on hand in case my main one ever breaks.

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Lol - a spare kindle! That's VERY prepared Laura, and perhaps a touch fatalistic ;)

I can't talk though since I have both a kindle and a sony ereader - but my reasoning and justification were based on accessing all possible cheap deals...

[Laura]

Oh yeah - I have a sony ereader too but I read most on my iPad mini, lol. I definitely have a problem!

I am right there with you! I'm not listing all of my toys though.... As long as I don't admit it to myself, I really don't have a problem! =P

[⚜️XAR]

You know, I've been a member of the group since July of 2012, and I don't think I ever posted in the Introduce Yourself thread, or in this one! Guess I can right the wrong now, huh?

Birthday: January 5
Favorite Color: Blue, specifically the shade Royal Blue
Favorite Food: Black Olives, but Chinese was the first thing to pop into my mind when looking at this question.
First Romance Novel Read (that you can remember): Susannah by Candice F. Ransom, and yes, I did read the entire Sunfire line...what's even more astounding is the fact that I still have all of my copies of those books!
Favorite Romance Genre: Don't really have one, I read several genres in romance
Finished the line: I know I'm a book addict because....I make lists of what is next to read and there is always a book or my e-reader within my reach!

[Jen]

Birthday: June 12th
Favourite Colour: It really depends on my mood but, I'd have to say that red is definitely one of my favourite colours
Favourite Food: Yogurt with granola and fruit
First Romance Novel Read (that you can remember): Was one of my grandmama's old Harlequin novels .
Favourite Romance Genre: I'm all over the map! Love PNR, some historical and am a huge fan of the NA genre.
Finish the line: I know I'm a book addict because... I can't make it through one shift at Chapters without buying a book and carry one with me everywhere I go... often in a ziploc bag to keep it safe.

[MountainKat, Moderator]

Better late than never Victoria!

Dangerous place to work Jen!

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

LOL Victoria! I have to say I hadn't ever heard of the Sunfire series, but after looking at Susannah, they reminded me of the American Girl dolls I saw in NY in November, where they build a whole story around a girl doll living in a particular period in American history. I have to say the 4 floors of American Girl blew me away (as Fran would attest to) - I couldn't believe it.

Glad to hear buying the paperback/hardback book at Chapters is still alive and well, even if it is solidly supported by the staff, Jen ;)

I used to have an American Girl doll! Mine was Samantha, and I took such good care of her that I have passed her on to my own daughter! Though I've never seen the American Girl store, I have seen and toured the original factory in Wisconsin.

There were 32 books in the Sunfire line, and some were better than others. Each centered on the named girl choosing between two guys, and they were usually set in a period of history. I loved most of them, and I agree, they do remind one of the American Girl line!

Fran's daughter has a couple of American Girl dolls but I can't remember their names. There is absolutely nothing like them in Australia - guess our population isn't big enough to set a doll in a piece of Australian history ;) (I suspect the doll variations would be pretty minimal too! LOL.)

Pleasant Company originally started with 3 dolls: Kirsten, Samantha, and Molly. Kirsten was 1854 (I think, I know it was 1800s!), Samantha was 1904, and Molly was 1944. They've expanded the line quite a bit since then! I know I would be interested to see some of the stories that come from the Australian history that the dolls might draw from! Australia is one of my countries that I have an interest in!

I'm afraid the Aussie dolls' lives would be hardship, tough times, and doing without! At least that is my impression of the pioneering days. ...Perhaps the daughter of a local Squatter (sheep farmer) might have had a few luxuries... :)

Kirsten's life was pretty rough too, but if I remember correctly, the books focused on how she coped with those restrictions and helped others despite them. It's been several years since I read them though, so I may be mistaken!

Welcome Jaclyn!"

Yeah, gotta agree with MK here, its perfectly normal to prefer to spend your day in a bookstore than a mall. I still go to bookstores, just to get more ideas to fill my Kindle wishlists with!

Glad you're joining us! Its a fun group to be in and trust me, the challenges are a blast to participate in as well!

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Welcome Jaclyn - Hope you find heaps to keep you busy and going back into that bookstore (or the online version ;)!

Welcome, Flower! My e-reader (in the form of a Kindle Fire) also travels everywhere with me...it is rare that I have an actual book in my hands now!

I hope you like it here, the group is just great! The challenges are a total blast and there is lots of good discussion to be had as well! So, pull up a virtual chair, sit a spell, and jump into some of the conversations going on!

Welcome Flower! My poor old ereader is looking the worse for wear - stuffed in my handbag or sitting in the car with me. It even went with me to help fix a water trough the other day ;)

Welcome Kaica~Mae! Wow, a Christmas baby! Happy birthday for a week ago :)

[Kaica~Mae]

Thank you (: It usually gets over shadowed by Christmas, but my other half usually takes me out at the end of January to celebrate my Birthday

That's a great idea! My birthday is in August and my husband generally only remembers at the last minute - consequently we often celebrate my birthday about a week later ;)

(And we both ALWAYS forget our wedding anniversary. It's dead easy, but we still forget!)

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Hi Gemma! My husband used to complain about my constant reading, but I've worn him down and he now handles me toting around my eReader everywhere ;)

[Aղցela W.]

Hi Gemma welcome to the group

[Gemma]

Hi Jane it's the same for me(except its my dad(I'm not old enough for a husband yet)) that gets annoyed with me for always reading but I just tell him to get over it and to just let me read in peace.

[Gemma]

Thanks every one for making me feel welcome to the group.

[MountainKat, Moderator]

Happy Belated Birthday Kaica~Mae!! I understand how easily a birthday can get overshadowed by other holidays. Mine is Valentine's Day and I think in 30 years of marriage I have only gotten presents for both a handful of times - makes them memorable I guess! I usually just go shopping to make up for it, it would probably be cheaper for my hubby to do the shopping himself! =P
