Give me a book and I'm happy. HAPPY! My mother told me once if I was reading she wouldn't ask me to do stuff around the house. I avoided chores for years. I read almost every genre there is although I have to say I usually stay away from biographies. I'd rather watch TLC or The History Channel or BIOGRAPHY.

Some of the best books I've ever read in no particular order:

• Praying for Sleep, Jeffrey Deaver
• A Maiden's Grave, Jeffrey Deaver
• All the Stephanie Plum Novels, Janet Evanovich
• The Lovely Bones, Alice Sebold
• The Brothers Karamozov, Fyodor Dostovesky

Authors I rarely pass up

• Jeffrey Deaver
• Janet Evanovich
• Michael Connoly
• Greg Iles
• Clive Cussler - I love the Dirk Pitt novels
• Dan Brown
• Nelson DeMille

I probably will hit myself on the head and realize I left out 3 of my favorite authors. I could read all day, every day and well do. I read everyday, I try to write everyday.

I read blogs everyday, see them on the left. Check them out. The best writer out of all of them, Krista.

I hate that with all the new books being written every year Hollywood has to remake the same movies over and over and over. Can we get some new material!
