I'm always searching for a good book, and there is nothing better than curling up with a book so good that you just don't want to put it down, so you spend a good chunk of the day reading about your beloved characters on their latest adventure. I've always loved to read as long as there is something interesting about the story that catches my interest and draws me in. I read mainly paranormal urban romances, contemporary chick lit books and some historical romances, self-help and spiritual growth books ... anything as long as it catches my interest or stories with quirky and funny, delightful characters, then I'm sure to love it.
