The ultimate luxury for me is lounging on a beach reading, w/ my doggies, slathered in SPF, bottles of icy Poland Spring, and frosty cans of Diet Cream, Diet Mug & Diet Pepsi.
I love mysteries!!! Nancy Drew planted the seed & Mary Higgins Clark ignited the spark. I Love YA, MG, Cozies, Coastal settings, Suspense & Thrillers, !!!
Always in search of books that make me say, "Now, that's a book"!
As for Twi-snore, I'll pass. If I want a vamp story... Moonlight is on DVD... Love Alex O'Loughlin ;p.
