Brandi, Have you ever read Tess Gerritsen??? Her books are AWESOME!!!!!! They are high suspense thrillers....a few of them are medical thrillers. They are so good you just can not put them down! Also, I like to read true crime as well. And one of my fav authors is Anne Rule.

Here is a link for used books that I use sometimes, they are fair priced, shipping is cheap via usps, and they have a pretty good assortment.

I think I was pretty specific on the hints I gave when I signed up, but here are my answers to the questions, just in case - hope this helps!


What are you favorite types of food?
I'm a steak and potatoes kind of girl.
I also enjoy nuts.

Favorite types of chocolate?Dark, preferably with nuts. Add caramel, and oooooh baby!

Favorite scents for candles?Watermelon, raspberry and baked apple
Favorite scents for lotions? I can only wear Neutrogena Emulsion
If you like to read, do you have a problem with receiving a used book?Not at all! Vampire/horror preferred, and the newer the copyright the better (I read lots and lots!)
Do you collect anything? Stephen King first editions and rare printings
What is your favorite color?Is leopard print a color?

If your SS is from overseas, is there anything special you would like them to include?A Harley T-shirt from their closest dealership. My size is a US Women's Large
How would you describe your 'style'?Casual biker chic.
I wear a lot of jeans & Tshirts, and have lots of leather for riding!
What sort of accessories do you like to wear?A water bottle.
Would you prefer something edible or something to keep?It doesn't matter to me, but something to keep is always nice because it lasts longer.
Is there anything that you'd like for your home?A giant zoom-groom for my rugs?

Do you plan on putting up a Christmas tree this year?No, I haven't done so for the last few years, not planning to start now with the furkids around. We just do stockings instead.
What type of toys do your cats like?Ferris likes little balls to roll, but so far his most favorite are little furry mice. I don't know if he likes the ones that rattle or not, but he likes the bells in the ball, so...?
Ginger likes the laser pen the absolute best. She won't say no to a good bit of catnip, either...

Do you prefer old fashioned things or modern things?It depends on the context, but I like antiques better than contemporary when it comes to items for the home.
Would you like a homemade gift?Truthfully, they can be the very best - or the very worst - kind of gift. Made from the heart means something to me, but it has to be a gift that is useful or delicious!
Do you like to travel?Yes, but I don't get to do so often enough
Do you enjoy art from other cultures? Not a big art fan. My idea of art are pictures of lions and tigers and cheetahs, or pictures of my motorcycle.

What is your 'quirk'?I have way too many to list just one.
How do you pamper yourself at home for 'me' time?I read, watch DVDs and lie around doing absolutely nothing. It happens so rarely that I try not to feel guilty about it.
What are your absolute dislikes? Seafood. Country or Rap/HipHop Music. White chocolate. Things that are too spicy and burn my tounge.
