20130608_131213I absolutely love to read. Do you love to read? If I could get paid just to read, I would do it LOL! I thoroughly enjoy reading for work, but I mostly enjoyed reading for pleasure. And I’m a book addict, I love a bookstore and have a hard time walking out without a new book. I’m an Amazon prime member, and they give me all kinds of cool deals on books that I love to read. Just this week I bought shoes for my husband on Amazon and still managed to purchase four books!

There’s never enough time to read through it seems. My goal has always been 25 pages Monday through Thursday and 50 pages Friday through Sunday. But when my garden is exploding with few fruits and vegetables, and my business is booming with clients and private coaching (I THRIVE on what I do for my clients!), reading takes a back burner.

I remember when we were little; the library was a big deal. My mom couldn’t afford to buy us books, so we checked them out. My sister and I would walk to the library and one day we told each other that we were going to read every book in there. Wow! Talk about a lofty goal! Because guess what? New books every day keep getting added even to the library.

I found that my favorite types of books were series books, where strong females were the leads. Now I have a super duper guilty pleasure. I happen to thoroughly enjoy what is called paranormal Romance. Back in the old days they probably just called this fantasy, but honestly it has a sexy spin to it that wasn’t in most fantasy novels I read as a teen. As a matter fact, I don’t understand all the hype about 50 Shades of Gray because most of the paranormal romance novels I read have some hot sex in them!

And there’s nothing wrong with a little hot sex right?

So now you know my guilty pleasure, I love to read and in particular books with werewolves, vampires, fairies and gremlins in them. What’s your guilty pleasure?
