1. I was born in Tulsa, OK.  I lived there for a year or less, and then we moved to California.  Lived there for 23 years, moved from there to North Carolina.  Lived there for 3 years and now we live in the ultra super overly ridiculously hot Arizona.  :) 

2.  Things I love the smell of [some weird some not] ... brand new tires, gasoline, 3 stroke exhaust [quad runners, dirt bikes, etc], fresh cut grass, creosote during the rain, fire wood, brand new books, brand new car smell, and the ocean.  There is more, but those are my favorites.

3.  There was a time - not so long ago - that I hated to read.  *gasp*

4.  I started a small dog rescue when we lived in North Carolina.  First dog I rescued was my [at the time] Great Dane, Azlyn.  I loved her more than any other dog I've ever had [sorry Luna].  We had to find Azlyn a new home, though, because she did not like small animals of any kind.  I cried for months over her.  Sometimes I still get teared up when I think about her.  One day I want another Great Dane.  A baby puppy this time.  They're my favorite breed of dog.

5.  My husband Mike and I will be celebrating our 8 Year Anniversary next month!!  :D

6.  I secretly [not now] love to mow the lawn.  I am obsessed with watching the grass "shrink" after the mower rolls over it.  I used to watch Mike mow for that reason.  It's weird, I know.  I do not like to mow the lawn when it's summer time here.  No thank you.  I don't want to die doing it.  LOL!

7.  I LOVE Escargot!  [do NOT knock it til you try it!  I thought it was going to be nasty... nope.  SOOOOO GOOD!!]

OK, now I'm nominating...

OK, book clubbers!  Chat tomorrow night!  Same time... 7:30ish.

Also... I am changing things up!  Since just about ALL of you are superstars and finished BOTH books already, I am adding a 3rd book to the month from now on!  All months, EXCEPT December.  ;)  I will announce what the 3rd book is for November tomorrow during our chat.  Also... plan on Twitter again.  I know.  Twitter sucked big time last week.  But, I have been slowly looking into things for tomorrows chat that would be better... so when I find it, I will let you know.  

Are there any book clubbers who are *not* on Twitter?  I know I got at least 30 sign-ups but we don't have 30 on Twitter... please please please comment on this post if you're not participating in the weekly chats just so I know.

Thanks, everyone!  I am off to read a book for a review!!  Lots to read.  

Night!
