I have a lifelong love of reading. Some genres I devour - such as romance, science fiction, fantasy and urban fantasy, for adults and young adults - but I enjoy stepping out of my comfort zone, too. I like contemporary thrillers and even some biographies and other non-fiction (a recent fun purchase is The Science Book: Big Ideas Simply Explained). Fave authors include Nora Roberts, Kelley Armstrong, Jim Butcher, Faith Hunter, Kate Watterson, Rob Thurman, Amanda Quick, Linda Howard, Patricia Briggs, Ilona Andrews, Moira Moore, Eoin Colfer, Scott Westerfeld, Sandra Brown, Rick Riordan and many more.
