You followed the clue and found the answer!

As a mother of two rambunctious boys, reading is my main form of escape. My husband often teases me that my nose is always buried in a book, and with a monstrous to-be-read pile, I don't think that will change any time soon. I love having the chance to share my opinions with readers. I'll read anything with an interesting story, but particularly enjoy contemporary romance and romantic suspense. When not reading, other interests include spending quality time with my children, music, horseback riding, and hiking.

Let's see.. what to tell you about me.... well I'm an academic librarian and deal with stuffy boring books (I'm a mathematics librarian) so fiction is my fun outlet. My passions include ballroom dancing, bichon frise rescue work, reading (duh!) and if I had time, I'd get back to my quilting, scrapbooking, jewelry making, etc. Sigh. I really need to find my rich prince who tells me I never have to work again. LOL.
Genre's that I prefer: Inspirational romance, gentle romance (Like Harlequin Medical, etc), romantic comedy and paranormal (unless they get too dark and gritty) to name a few. I love books with themes/characters of animals, librarians, dancers, trainers, ministers/missionaries, etc. Having said this, I read pretty broadly from the inspirational fiction line all the way to Blazes and chick lit. The only thing I don't really care for it erotica. I don't care for the starkness of the erotica genre. I guess I just like things wrapped up and tied with a prettier satin bow. :-)

My name is Debbie and I love to read just about anything.  My favorite books, however, are generally paranormal romances.  I am 35 years old and a social worker with the school system in Florida so I get a lot of time off in the summer to read (except when I'm sitting in the dark with no ac thanks to a hurricane)!  I'm happily married and have 2 doggie children.  I also enjoying working out, "American Idol", and cheering on the Tampa Bay Lightning hockey team. 

I have been reviewing for about 5 years and got started on it completely by accident. That accident turned out to be a blessing in disguise as I discovered a hobby I thoroughly enjoy and an outlet for my opinions about the books I love... or love to hate. <g> Now I don't think I'll ever stop! I live in the DFW area with my three "children" of the four-footed and furry variety, Sheba, Aker, and Amun, affectionately known as cats. I work as an environmental contractor for the Army Reserves, a job I've had since 1997 in which there is never a dull moment and no two days are the same.

I've been reviewing for approximately 6 years now... I am a member of Reviewers International Organization; RWA and the New England Chapter of that organization. I review what I like, when I like and average 3-5 books a week, sometimes more, sometimes less. I'll read most anything with the exception of 'horror' and I'm not too fond of 'science fiction' either. ROMANCE is what I live for - historical, contemporary, paranormal, time travel, suspense, etc.  Some day I may very well write my very own book. In the meantime I work full time as an Energy Transmission Specialist for the New England Power Grid aka ISO New England.  Job is a rotating schedule varying my hours from 12 hour nights to 12 hour days. I enjoy the camaraderie with other 'book lovers' who are compulsive book buyers and readers!

I am new to the review scene, I have run a yahoo book group since 2003, and I was looking for a new book community as well, and that is what brought me here.
I read a little bit of everything, although I have never read an eBook, so I look forward to learning more about those.

I have been married almost 25 years, have a son , 20, and in the process of figuring out life. A son, 14, in the process of figuring out how to get through the teen years without making me mad. A dog Sally who is in the process of figuring out how to get more sleep...we all keep such different schedules her sleep patterns are often disrupted!
I have been a reader longer than I can remember, and think it's always been romances of some sort or another that has been the preferred though I do read other genres.

 

I love books. Pretty much all genres. I'm not generally a fan of the pure romantic bodice ripper type books, although I'm coming around. I prefer women's lit to a Harlequin though. I'd say thrillers and paranormals are my very favorite and I've even been known to share some young adult books with my daughter. I like to read the classics too and my eldest daughter and I are planning to read Wuthering Heights together soon.
Speaking of my daughter, I'm a stay at home mom to five kiddoes. Hey, I live in Alaska and the winters are long and dark. Nuff said? Teehee. I love being home with them! But when I need the inevitable break, I turn to my books. The three oldest are girls, and two boys.
 

I live and work in Gainesville, Florida. I've been married 20 years and have no children. Between fulltime work and day to day living, I haven't really developed many outside interests, except reading. I've written a few reviews for my own benefit and thanks to Sandi and another friend, feel ready to try it out on a regular basis. 
I read just about any romance subgenre. At one time I read only Historical Romances but now I have gotten very picky and only read a handful each year. But they still remain a comfort read, and I reread my favorites over and over.
