message 13: by Rayne (new)

Rayne (raynebair) | 481 comments Hi all. I'm Brooklyn. I'm jumping over from the MM group, because I made a pact with myself that I would try to read some of the books outside of MM that I really want to read, but never get around to because I get sidetracked by all the steamy MM goodness and the multitude of reading challenges in that group. I need a motivator to get those other books read, so I'm here. I'm already almost half-way through the Reader Harder challenge by Book Riot.

Birthday: June 25
Favorite Book(s): Weird I know, but one of my favs is Little Girl Lost I read it as a young girl and it just stayed with me.
Favorite Book Genre: MM obviously. but I do love general fiction and biography/memoirs a lot as well. Mysteries are great too.
Favorite Author: none at the moment. I enjoy too many to single any out.
Favorite Color: I always said it was blue, but I tend to gravitate towards the greens, so I guess I should say green
Favorite Food: mexican
Any Pets: We lost our two dogs from old age in 2017 after having them for 16 years. Not ready for more dogs, but needing a pet in the house, we got a cat named Wicket.
If I could live anywhere in the world it would be: closer to my mom. right now she is a 9 hour drive away and will start chemo in a few days, so I would love to live closer.
Finish the line: I know I'm a book addict because...I have way too many books that I want to read. I used to go to the bookstore and purchase one or two a month just to get my book-fix. ha! Much easier now ebooks and Overdrive, but I still visit the bookstore to touch and smell them. ha!
