Chere Gruver
I love to read and always have.
Actually, I remember reading WAR AND
PEACE in the 9th grade. I read just
about anything, from the classics to
science fiction and just about
everything in between. I have to admit
that my favorites are fantasy. I no
longer have a TBR pile, I have closets
and towers of books. My husband keeps
teasing me that we need a bigger house
to hold all my books. I also love
animals and always have. We share our
home with cats, dogs, sugar gliders,
ferrets, turtles, birds, fish and an
iguana that is longer than I am tall.
I moved to Arizona because I had
enough of Wisconsin winters and love
the desert. I know, but it really is a
dry heat!
