In fact, I sometimes wonder how any of us ever move! As for tattoos, I never would, but I hear (and have seen on her site, actually) some Sherrylin Kenyon tats, though I would never get one (especially since I have been disappointed by her books recently). I have heard, but not seen because I hate the books, that Twilight fans (Twihards?) have gotten tats too, because apparently everyone is crazy. And I love Sondheim too...

I'm with you, Jolie. There's nothing better than finding someone who 'gets you' is there? For me, its romance novels, homeschooling, Castle, anything Johnny Depp, Harry Potter, Wayne Dyer... hmm, I could keep going with this list LOL. Ooooh yeah! I’m with you, Jolie.

My 1,000 sq. ft. house "houses" about 1,000 Romances. As you indicated, I love knowing they're there. I miss discussing my faves w/like-minded friends (or even strangers). For instance, recently, I read discussions about Sherry Thomas' Historicals, & bought the 3 she's written. I had sort of given up Historicals, as they all seemed the same to me. But, I've joined the parade of fangirls re this relatively-new writer whose 1st language isn't English, & whose Historicals are so different & innovative from most that are out there. I thought, I'd love to find a RL reader w/which to discuss them because it seems no one is as passionate as Romance readers. It's times like this that I really miss the Celebrate Romance readers.

I'm thrilled when I find someone who's seen the BBC series, Sharpe's Rifles and is as in love with Major Sharpe as I am. Or who's seen the short-lived TV series, Firefly and can discuss with me the archetypes of each character on that show. Or someone who loves Jane Eyre like I do and has read it as many times as I have, or even read The Witch of Blackbird Pond as a youth like I did. And I've done my share of talking up this wonderful author, Jo Leigh, to everyone I talk Romance with. I need to start a Jo Leigh fan club. I'm not a crazy stalker, I promise. :-$ Jo, that is SO true! I’m thrilled when I find someone who’s seen the BBC series, Sharpe’s Rifles and is as in love with Major Sharpe as I am.
