I'm a thitysomething stay at home mom
who has a pssion and love of books.
I'll read just about anything and
everything, including, but not limited
to backs of cereal boxes, the latest
gossip rags, and even my 1st graders
teachers weekly newsletters, on
occasion. Seriously, I'm a readaholic
who will read biographies, mystery &
thrillers, horror, military stories -
true and not-so-true, and of course,
romance. My only problem is trying to
find enough time within the 24 hours
I'm given to fit my reading addcitions
in with the toting around of my two
kids, keeping the house semi-
presentable, and attempting to cook
edible homemade meals for the hubby and
kids - which is much harder than my mom
made it sound.
