1. What made you decide to start blogging?
   I learned that I could! Seriously, for some reason I just had never applied my love of books to blogging and then someone suggested I start one. I looked into it and I was hooked. I was so happy to be able to discuss books with a larger audience than just my small circle of friends who like to read.
   
   
2. Favorite and least favorite things about blogging?
   My least favorite thing is all the negative drama. <--Amen to that!
   
   My favorite thing is developing friendships with the people I meet online and through blogging. Also, I have discovered so many books that I may not have otherwise heard about through the blogs I've visited and people I've met.
   
   
3. If you could hang out with ONE author, who would it be and why?
   Are ya' kidding me? ONE??? Ummm....okay, I think it would be Stephen King. Or Charles de Lint. Or Robert McCammon. See I can't just pick one.
   UPDATE: Since writing this, Midnyte Reader's dream came true :) She got to meet and ride in a car with Robert McCammon and Sherrilyn Kenyon.  Check out her awesome POST.
   
   
4. What is the ONE book you tell everyone they 'have to' read?
   Again only one? {Yes, because we're evil like that *muahahaha*} It really depends on what kind of books that person likes. Horror-Pet Semetery by Stephen King. Urban Fantasy-Anything by Charles de Lint. YA-Hunger Games. Dystopian or Post Apocalyptic-The Stand by Stephen King or Swan Song by Robert McCammon.
   
   
5. Do you have any bookish guilty pleasures?
   I love to escape and go to Burger King or Dunkin' Donuts, get a snack and sit in my car and read. It only takes about a half hour, but it's really uninterrupted time when I don't have to clean, take the dog out or answer the phone.

Now tell us 5 random, non-bookish things about yourself:

Hmmm, this is kind of difficult because I'm basically a boring person. LOL. But I'll try.
• I am a Halloween Addict. {Woohoo, we are too!}
• I've always wanted to learn to surf.
• I kind of want to move to New Orleans. Or Ireland.
• I have a license in Cosmetology.
• I'm a night owl.


Thank you to Midnyte Reader for hanging out with us today :)
