Karin asked me to share a bunch of fun facts about myself as sort of a getting to know you (getting to know all about you… getting to like you… getting to hope you like me… ahem) post so here it goes.
For those of you who don’t know already, I write and run a romance novel book blog called Love Romance Passion. I’m pretty kooky and not a little bit bonkers (don’t worry all the best people are so I’m in good company.) I love historical romances, blind heroes, and fairy tales.
Oh and I just got back from Antarctica and communing with the penguins, whales, albatrosses and seals.
Now for the good stuff nobody really knows:
- I helped donate over 600 books last year to the library. Not all of them mine, but a goodly number.
- I watched more mini-series shows last year than in all previous years of my life combined. You really need those extra 2.5 hours to tell a love story. Le sigh…
- I frequently think about writing a novel but haven’t gotten past chapter 3. I used to write a crap load of epic length fanfic you’d think this would be no sweat.
- I started a blog with my youngest sister about young adult novels, called Literature Young Adult Fiction. We’re in serious need of guest bloggers and reviewers.
- I started reading and loving more contemporary romances since I began blogging. I read them before but in far fewer numbers.
- I like scruffy beards on men but not full grown beards. I’m also a thigh girl – no cotton padding need apply. Okay, okay you caught me… physically fit (read defined muscles) hunky men in general are my cup of tea… sheesh.
- I just got business cards made up with both blog URLs. Woohoo.
- I have yet to attend a book blogger conference – but I really want to do it. Anybody got extra cash lying around to send my way? Pretty please?
- I have never seriously dated anyone and casually dated only twice. Where’s my blinded, emotionally scarred, vampire Duke McBroodyPants?
- I love Bollywood movies but am too cheap to get a Netflix account when I have a perfectly good library (and they don’t stock Bollywood movies.) There’s also zero Indian stores where I live so I don’t even have that option.
How'd I do? Do you feel more informed than before the start of this post?

I could send my ex’s your way, they’re emotionally scarred; ha,ha. As for broody vampire, look for that seventh son of a seventh son. Can’t help you with the Dukedom though. Thanks for sharing. I was hoping you’d mention something real personal…..like….coffee, tea, or cola. (giggles)
You can keep your emotionally scarred exes. I’m not sure I could do anything with them.
7th son of a 7th son? Duly noted… but that really screws up the whole Duke thing because only the first born gets to be heir.
Coffee — Only a venti mocha frappachino with whip cream and cinnamon on top from Starbucks will do.
I also like coffee flavored ice cream but it has to be tempered with at least oreo cookies. I really like raspberry ice cream and coffee ice cream and oreos mixed. Tangy, sharp, and sweet. Yum.
Tea – Black teas only. Prince of Wales or China Black are my favorites. I will put a little bit of sugar in or a ton of honey depending on my mood.
Cola – Every day. Regular Coke. No diet (I think diet sodas taste like poison yuck.) I try to limit myself to one soda a day but if I eat out all bets are off.
Cute! I like vanilla bean frappucino’s from Starbuck’s or the new McDonald’s mocha frappes. Tea: Never, Cola: Regular coke on occasion.
What miniseries have you seen? Have you watched Lorna Doone?
No – should I? Tell me a little about it.
I have seen this past year… (not all for the first time mind you):
North and South (2004)
Pride and Prejudice (1995)
Emma (2009)
Sense and Sensibility (2008)
Cranford (2008)
39 Steps (2008)
Alice (2009)
The Buccaneers (2006)
Jane Eyre (2006)
Jane Eyre (1997)
some of Little Dorrit (2009)
I can’t think of more but I’m sure there has been. lol
