"Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much." Oscar Wilde
-"Being powerful is like being a lady. If you have to tell people you are, you aren't." - Margaret Thatcher
I read a lot of paranormal romance, dark fantasy, urban fantasy, and just fantasy in general. I'm not a big fan of angst ridden plots and whiny characters. I also read YA books. As long as the plot has adventure and/or humor in it, I'm happy. Romance doesn't hurt either.
