I have cats that shed, so if you have an allergy DO NOT order from me! I come from a non-smoking household, but I do get some books used that may have been in them. I'm very sensitive to cigarette smoke myself (mild allergy), so I take requestor conditions VERY seriously.

Unpostable Before I Die by Jenny Downham, free with any order off my shelf! Unpostables (none near cigarette smoke) add one to any order: Winter Fire by Elizabeth Lowell, Trick Me, Treat Me by Leslie Kelly, Die Trying by Lee Child

After every book I finish I read a short story from one of the numerous anthologies in my TBR! I tend to favor paranormal/horor anthologies, if you want to swap recommendations please contact me. :) I'm also reading the 2007 AAR Top 100 list, sort of using it as my guide to getting into the romance genre. I've discovered I LOVE historical romance (though not "bodice rippers"), paranormal/urban fantasy (back when it was mainly Anne Rice I *hated* reading about vampires, but now there's so many great series about them!) and contemporary romance that catches my eye. So far my favorite authors in those genres are Charlaine Harris (I love all her series, though), Loretta Chase, Julia Quinn, Lisa Kleypas, Elizabeth Hoyt, Gena Showalter, J.R. Ward, Yasmine Galenorn, and many more I'm sure I'm forgetting right now.
