Thousands of books!! Sounds like my kind of person. I'm sad that I get to obsessed with blogging that I don't read nearly as much as I used to. And Melissa, I would love to meet you in person!

Kalyn: I have been getting all my new books in cd when available. That way I can work in the computer and listen to them :) Hugs,

I love Chocolat and Like Water for Chocolate too but I actually much prefer the books. I was so enamoured of the latter that I even tried to cook one of the dishes involving roses!
