I am reading mostly romances at the moment, but I also have read many westerns and science fiction/fantasy books as well. Some of my favorite authors are Jodi Thomas, Mary Balogh, Loretta Chase, Lisa Kleypas, Catherine Anderson, Cheryl Reavis, and Diana Palmer is my guilty pleasure! LOL. My favorite types of romances are regency and western, with an occasional contemporary thrown in.

I'm also dipping my toe into Christian and inspirational romances and finding some good books there (and also some duds, but isn't that always how it is with every genre?).

At times I read a lot, averaging about one book a day. Other times I may read a book or two a week, as well as go through extended dry spells where I'll only read a book or two a month.

I have an off-and-on again fascination with learning Spanish (in particular, learning to *read* Spanish). I've collected a lot of the Spanish versions of Harlequin novels since they are the most affordable. (Most "big name" romances by authors like Kleypas and Balogh are quite expensive in Spanish, so I have to budget those.) It's a really fun way to learn how to read the language!

In my "real life" I have a lot of hobbies, including art, graphic art (I love Photoshop!), web design, and a little dabbling in video editing. I also enjoy travel photography, though I'm not a fantastic photographer. « less
