I've been an avid reader since my first Dick and Jane book in school. No how-to books for me, tho. I read strictly for enjoyment. Calgon can only take me to the nearest bath tub; but my books take me to other lands and times to meet characters and people that I would probably never even dream of meeting in real life.

While I've read some Historicals and Westerns, I can't seem to develope a taste for them. Chic Lit and cozy mysteries, some animal stories and other suspense stories make up the balance of my favorites.
