SuperGirly Metropolis, IL
Member since Nov. 6, 2011, Patron since Nov. 7, 2011I have loved to read ever since I can remember. I hardly go anywhere without a book or my Kindle.
As for the kind of books I read…that varies. I like to read books about the conspiracy theories surrounding the death of Elvis and other celebrities. I also like to read books about local history (I live in Southern Illinois, and this area has some REALLY neat history). From time to time, I like to read mysteries (like Janet Evanovich), chick-lit (Sophie Kinsella, Ann Brasheres), and some thrillers (but not the gory stuff). I like romance books, but not the bodice rippers or Harlequin type romance. I also like to read books about different religions (like the Amish) and cults (i.e. Jim Jones, the Branch Davidians, FLDS and others). I’m the daughter of a Southern Baptist preacher/evangelsit/hospital chaplain (he’s Director of Pastoral Care at Western Baptist Hospital in Paducah, Kentucky).
I also love ANYTHING about Disney World. I’ve read quite a few books about the parks and have recently started reading “The Kingdom Keepers” series.
I’m disabled (I have Rheumatoid Arthritis), and don’t get out much, so I have a lot of time to read. I also like to write.
I have a blog: www.sarahsayswhat.com
When I’m not reading or writing, I like to play games on Facebook, Pogo.com, or Big Fish Games.
Right now, I’m not married, but engaged to a great guy. We’ve been together almost 9 years (as of December 21, 2011). We have a Norwegian Dwarf rabbit named Jake, and we just got an 8 month old Merle Great Dane named Charlie on 10/31/11.
