Favorite Music Josh Groban, Elton John, Bon Jovi, Landlord's Daughter/Mercy Brown, Heather Dale, Euro-techno, John Mayer, blues and jazz. I'm an acoustic folk rock kind of girl.
Favorite Books Jane Austen, the Brontes, Sharon Maas. The problem is so many of the books on my shelves are pretentious books I'm telling myself I'm going to read someday. Admittedly, I can gorge myself on romance novels any day of the week. Time to take away the lowbrow stigma--there's some fantastic writing there.
