I am probably going to break some rules here but I am bestowing this award on anyone who thinks that their blog is Prolific. Enjoy.

During my daily blog reading, I noticed that Diana from Stop, Drop and Read was awarded this blog and she said that anyone who was reading it could take this award so I decided to snag it.

I was first introduced to Diana’s blog Stop, Drop and Read when I discovered that she was my Secret Santa in the Christmas Exchange. I have been reading her blog ever since then.

The rules of this award are to: 1) List 10 honest things about yourself and 2) Pass it on to 10 other honest bloggers.

Here is a list of 10 honest things about me:

1. I am a compulsive book buyer. I can’t walk into a bookstore without buying something.
2. I love getting packages in the mail and feel a little sad when nothing comes.
3. I love going to author events.
4. It really bothers me when someone just stops talking to me. This has happened in the past and I have decided that I will give up trying to figure out what happened instead of racking my brain out.
5. I don’t comment on blogs like I should and I feel bad.
6. I love to sit down with friends over coffee and just talk.
7. I love to go shopping.
8. I hate trying on clothes and wish things would fit. (Like those jeans in the Sisterhood of the Traveling pants books)
9. I have way too many books in my house.
10. I love taking pictures

As for passing this award on I will be like Diana if you want to take part just do it.

I recently saw this on My Random Acts of Reading’s blog and she was passing this on to everyone and I am going to do the same so if you want please feel free to take part.

I am supposed to tell you 7 things about me. Here goes:

1. I love to read and discover new authors. Blogging has given me the chance to read books I probably wouldn’t have read on my own.
2. I have probably 1000 books in my house.
3. I have instilled a love of books and reading to my son.
4. I love going to bookstores (all kinds) and browsing looking for that hidden gem.
5. I am so excited to be going to one of the best book conventions in the world…BEA.
6. I have a bad habit of not reviewing as soon as I finish a book.
7. I usually stick within the genres I read. IE fiction, YA, cookbooks, mysteries. I tend not to read much romance, non fiction etc.

Please let me know if you are taking part I would love to read your lists.

4. Okay so here are my lies and one truth:

My answers are in RED.

1. I have read all the books I have gotten this past year. If you know me then you know this is a big fat ole lie. Sadly I am roughly only half way through the books I got last year. Will I get done before BEA? NOT!
   
2. As soon as I get up I have to start my day with a glass of pepsi. This is another lie. I can’t start the day with pepsi its more like orange juice, tea or coffee. My aunt use to start her day with pepsi. Its something I could never do even though I love pepsi.
   
3. I love winter. Another lie. I hate winter. I hate the cold and the snow.
   
4. The only really famous people I have met to date has been Enrique & Bret Hart. This is TRUE!! I got to meet Enrique the Spring of 2007. Lets just say he is just as cute (hot) in real life as he is on tv. I also got to meet Brett Hart when he was in town promoting his book. Another famous writer I got to meet was Kathy Reichs.
   
5. I travel all the time and go all over the place. I have been to NYC, Europe and many other places. This is a lie I would love to travel. The only place I have been to in the US is Detroit. But drove through Illinois and Indiana. In Canada I have been to NB, PEI, Halifax (NS) Toronto, Quebec City, Mississauga and Windsor.
   
6. I love shopping for clothes. As many of you will find out when you meet me in May I am only about 5″ tall and I hate clothes shopping as I can never find anything that fits my short legs and if I do I hate it.
   

5. Okay I put 1 truth in there. Do you know which one is the true one? I will post the answer to this over the weekend so you will have to come back to find out what it is.

6. I am not going to nominate anyone, so if you haven’t done this yet and want to please feel free to do so. Just let me know so I can read yours.
