Teresa had to say...

2 for 1.  Just ask.

I'm a housewife with 6 grandchildren (5 girls and 1 boy, ages 8 months to 6 years).  All 3 of my children live nearby, so we get to see them often.  I have a wonderful husband (we've been married 34 years) who has been very patient about all the books I have.  In fact, he recently built me a bookcase for my overflow of TBR books.

I love to read, and I've joined the 2008 Reading Challenge.  I have over 700 books on my TBR List, so maybe I can get that down some this year.  I really enjoy the swaps in Games.  I join way too many, but it keeps me reading.

Christian romances and historial romances are my favorites.  I try to read 2 books a week.

Favorite book:  Beauty for Ashes by Dorothy Clark (Christian Historical Romance).  I completed it in one day the first time I read it (330 pages).  I’m not a fast reader, but I could not put this book down.  Stayed up to 1:30 a.m. to finish it.  I’ve read it 4 times.
