Now that's called being proactive. :)

I was lousy at reading this year. I'm hoping this one is better then the last.

I probably could have read a lot more, but I got lazy ;)

I usually only read in a bubble bath or in bed.

If you like Sophia Kinsella and Emily Griffin, you might also like Jane Green and Marian Keyes.

Good to know, I'll look at their stuff, thank you :)

I adore Neil Gaiman. And Michael Pollan. <3

[mellybrelly.livejournal.com]

I'll have to look for more of their stuff

I have lots of smut you can borrow! ;)

[mellybrelly.livejournal.com]

Hahah, nice. I don't like it TOO smutty, just silly romance sometimes. You know, ridiculous 30 somethings looking for love..

[tlatzomia.livejournal.com]

You might like Truly, Madly--not smut but some romance and intrigue. I really liked it. You can see my review at http://blog.LilaScot.net

I'd love to borrow it! Thank you.

[tlatzomia.livejournal.com]

Sure thing! :) I'll see when I can get a chance to drop it off.

Meant to add that you're welcome to borrow my AR copy if you're interested.
