I try my hardest to find practical gifts and I really try to get to know someone to find out their likes/dislikes.

What I read: I generally choose my books based on its cover or title. I do like and follow some authors, but I mostly read fiction, books that turn into movies of which I prefer to read the book first. I am also drawn to British Authors-I like the writing style/wit.

I like Lilian Jackson Braun, Rita Mae Brown -Cat Mysteries. Nancy Fairbanks & Joanne Fluke -Food Mysteries. Earlene Fowler-Quilt related Mysteries. I enjoy chick lit/romance.
