So I was tagged by two people, Cheryl St. John and Jambrea.

 

Apparently I need to share 6 or 7 unusual or interesting facts about myself. 
I have already done this before so I will try to come up with some new info…in fact, I think I will make them book-related to change things up

 

1.  The first book I ever remember reading on my own was The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein.  A few years ago, my parents gave me a copy for Christmas as a nostalgia gift.

2.  The first adult romance I remember reading was Julie Garwood’s For the Roses.  I didn’t know it was a romance when I got it (I have told that story here), but once I read it, I was hooked on the genre and haven’t stopped reading romances since…which leads to #3…

3.  For almost 9 years, I only read historical romances.  Then a few years ago I began reading other genres.  And as you can tell, I now read a little of everything.  I am willing to give any genre of romance a try.

4.  Rarely does a week go by that I don’t buy at least one book.

5.  I am a compulsive book finisher…meaning, when I start reading a book, I have to finish it…eventually.

6.  I sometimes rewrite books in my head or dream about alternate storylines.  I especially do this when I discover a secondary character that I really like.  But I am definitely NOT a writer!  LOL

7.  I make book thongs to give to friends and other readers, but I don’t use them myself.

 

I am supposed to tag 7 people, but instead, I will just ask all of you:

Tell me something unusual or interesting about yourself…can be related to books or not, you decide!

    Hey Jennifer,
    I did/do that rewrite thing in my head (or even on paper) too! And that’s how I KNEW I WAS A WRITER! ;-)

    You are too a writer. Stop selling yourself short. Seriously… As Jedi Jaci would say: DUDE!

    Cool blog, by the way. :D

    Unusual? erm…

    Well, I adore power tools, and getting dirty while doing something handy (landscaping, carpentry, painting… ;) is a favorite past time. Right up there with… cross stitching and knitting :grin:

    Have a good week!

    Well, my unusual thing you probably remember — I like my rubber duckies. :)

    Something unusual about me. Gee - I have weird dreams, I re-write stories as well, sometimes I write stories for secondary characters. I love Harlequin Intrigues, but I’m branching out into other romance genre’s and lines now.
