The only reason I bought a kindle was so my room didn't end up looking like a library (too little, too late) but I still end up buying physical copies so WHAT IS THE POINT *flails* haha.
I also get Advanced Reader's Copies from our local bookstore because the store owner loves me. Haha. She gives them to me to read to get my opinion on whether or not she should purchase them for the store.
If I could be an editor, it would be my dream.

haha mine is like a library...although it's all packed up right now because I'm in the process of moving to start my job at my new school! But I have bins and bins full of books XDDD
Oh that's so cool! I used to be friends with the librarians at my school library growing up. They would ask me what books I wanted for the library and get them because I would go through everything else XD

I want to meet her so bad but she NEVER EVER EVER comes to Florida :( I've been checking her scheduled book signings for years and years and she has never come to Florida D:
I DID meet Brian Jacques though...author of the Redwall novels. I was in...6th grade I believe. He was down here and I went to his book signing. He read a chapter from one of his books...and let me tell you...he had such a beautiful story telling voice! It was incredible to listen to him! Then I drew him a picture of character from Redwall and gave it to him and got my picture taken with him. We were only allowed to get two books signed by him...but my mom brought up two and my little brother brought up one...so I have 5 books signed by him. I'm so sad he has passed away now but it was an honor to meet him!

I bet it was. His redwall books are amazing. Yeah Tamora Pierce lives in Syracuse, NY, and i did for a little while. One of my friends actually knows where she lives but he won't tell me.

The only famous person I've met was Evanna Lynch at LeakyCon last year. x3 And even then I really didn't talk to her since she was just immediately mobbed by spectators at the Quidditch tournament.

... I feel 'un-literature' seeing how many books you people read.
Could read more than the amount of manga I read. x.x

Shadamimi is 'uncontaminated'~ or less contaminated. XD
I only read English Fantasy books. or Magic. Or mystery<33.
I am reluctant to read the romance ones. Against my ideal love.

Yeah, I'm mainly into fantasy/urban fantasy books right now. I don't really read romance novels. Fantasy and murder mysteries/thrillers. :D
But I do read cutesy shoujo manga for my fix of pure adorableness. >__>

not influence by manga. XD
As the old school people consider manga a... 'evil' force. :<
I read Taiwan Romance and certain Shoujo Manga. Taiwan suit my taste better.

On the other hand, I watch more Hong Kong drama and movies.
Ultimately, I don't really watch real people show.
I am addicted to unreal pretty anime. :P

I just watched Uta No Prince-sama and it made me feel like I was 12 again. :P
I had a period of time where all I watched were live-action dramas. A Hong Kong one I watched was Hearts of Fencing. But I really love Korean dramas. >__>
Shadami and I love Ouran High School Host Club. We need more boys that think women are the best in the world. :3
