Favorite Food: Chicken Fingers
First Romance Novel Read (that you can remember): Twilight (Does that even count?? Hahaha)
Favorite Romance Genre: Paranormal Romance
Finished the line: I know I'm a book addict because.... Reading is the one hobby that stuck with me. It not only stuck, it’s become a full-grown obsession where I’ll cancel appointments to stay home, cooped up with a book. Because I will stay up night just to get to the ending because I know I won't be able to sleep until I get there. Because living in a fictional world is so much better than reality...

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

LOL - great reasons to be a book addict Emmee! And I tried chicken fingers in Canada when I was there last year - we don't have them as a meal as such in Australia :)

That's so cool that you're from Australia! I've always wanted to visit there, but now that they don't have my staple food of chicken fingers I might have to reconsider.... hahahaha

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Lol - we have the 'duck' aka 'Kentucky Fried Chicken' here. But otherwise - zip ;)

Jane (PS) wrote: "Lol - we have the 'duck' aka 'Kentucky Fried Chicken' here. But otherwise - zip ;)"

Ok, KFC I can definitely live off of. Do they have the delicious Mac and Cheese at your KFC?

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

No - no Mac & Cheese. Just chicken pieces, chips etc, burgers and wraps I think :) Mac & cheese isn't popular over here. We know what you mean, but you'll never see it in a food outlet - you'd either make it from scratch or buy the prepackaged dry stuff in the supermarket!

My birthday is January 8.
Favorite Color is black.
Favorite food is italian.
First Romance Novel was Vampires are Forever by Lynsay Sands.
Favorite Romance Genre Paranormal Romance/erotica
I read books to get away from the crap and stress of High School, though I know its odd for a 17 year old to enjoy reading, but I have nothing else to do. Ask my friends and Im literally stuck at home, because my parents believe it will keep me safe. So I read and do homework, because it is the only thing i can control. I also play RPG games and play yugioh naruto and pokemon. No job and going to college next fall, so im hoping to find some way books to bring with me.

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Hi Kate! Welcome to the group :) sounds like books give you your escape - my holidays through school were away from my friends, so I read a huge amount as a teenager. In the end I think it improved my English and writing skills immensely - so not all bad ;)

[MountainKat, Moderator]

I don't think it is wrong for a 17 year old to read so much either Kate! I know I was sneaking to stay up late to read when I was 12! It was a lot easier to recover from that at 12 than it is as you get older - so enjoy it while you can! Reading is the best escape there is!

[Kate]

thank you guys. A lot of kids at my school think im weird.

Favourite Food: I like eating, don't have a favourite~
First Romance Novel Read (that you can remember): From my memory it was a high fantasy series that had romance in it, The Witches of Eileanan by Kate Forsyth
Favourite Romance Genre: it's always been fantasy and paranormal and sci-fi is making it's way in right now. I did go through a huge historical phase so that too... maybe some suspense and contemporary.
Finished the line: I know I'm a book addict because.... I'm running out of space physically and I'm afraid I would run out of space digitally.

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Welcome Ranzes and Tiffany!!

Ranzes - I love organising books for all the challenges so I know it's tempting to skip out on other activities - that need may reduce in a few years, but who knows ;)

Tiffany, I totally get being worried yr storage isn't enough! I bought an external hard-drive to make sure I didn't loose my books!

Finished the line: I know I'm a book addict because…. I carry a book everywhere I go. And I already have a bookshelf for all of my books. I do everything I can to buy a book I really wanted. It's been my routine to read at least 10 chapters of a book before going to bed

I can barely manage a couple of pages - my husband hates me reading in bed :("

I'm sorry about that :( I just feel like reading in bed is much more comfortable because I feel more like inside the book's world rather than in my world-I feel like I just escaped reality.

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

I agree! It's WAAAY more comfy. *shrugs*

...And now its bedtime for me :) with very limited reading :(

[Diane]

Well, I wish you could read in bed, but since you can't, It's Okay :) (I want to cheer you up and be happy :) )

Birthday: May 16
Favorite Color: Black
Favorite Food: Does chocolate count?
First Romance Novel Read (that you can remember): Sweet Valley High! Gah...I'm showing my age, aren't I?
Favorite Romance Genre: Contemporary Suspense
Finished the line: I know I'm a book addict because...I read and write way past my bedtime several nights a week even though I know I'll pay in sleep deprivation the following day, have no will power to walk away from a good book till the last page is finished, and get all twitchy if too much life happens and a few evenings pass without carving out time to read and write.

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Hey Jo - chocolate always counts! LOL - I didn't read the SWH books growing up because my mother wouldn't let me, but they definitely around ;)

[MountainKat, Moderator]

I was thinking the same as Jane - chocolate always counts! I guess it would be showing my age to admit I'm too old for the SVH books...
