Colleen Coble writes romantic suspense with a strong atmospheric element. A lovable animal of some kind--usually a dog--always populates her novels. She can be bribed with DeBrand mocha truffles.
Denise Hunter writes women's fiction and love stories with a strong emotional element. Her husband says he provides her with all her romantic material, but Denise insists a good imagination helps too.
Diann Hunt writes romantic comedy and humorous women's fiction. She has been happily married forever, loves her family, chocolate, her friends, chocolate, her dog, and well, chocolate.
Cheryl Hodde writes romantic medical suspense under the pen name of Hannah Alexander, using all the input she can get from her husband, Mel, for the medical expertise. For fun she hikes and reads. Out of guilt, she rescues discarded cats. She and Mel are presently taking orders from four pampered strays.

Does that sound familiar, you ask?
Oh, yeah!
I have a book that I keep in the bathroom for visits and actual baths, a book that migrates from living room to rec room depending where I was reading it last, a book near my gym bag to read while riding the exercise bike and a book started on my ebookman in my purse. THEN if I can't find any of those (things get moved around in this house) I just grab another book off the pile and start another one.
Bookstores make me wish for gift cards and rich relatives (who I don't now but who will go to heaven) who die and leave me lots of money.
My Amazon and Fictionwise wish lists are very long because it's almost like shopping but doesn't cost anything!!!
Have you been peeking into my house? No, really. This description is too precise to be coincidence.
That sounds very familiar!
oh that is sooooo me! i barely go anywhere without taking a book! and i am usually in the middle of 2 or 3 at a time...
and yes i have been known to go to work with one hours sleep just because i kept on saying to myself "just one more chapter" until i finished the book as the sun came up. hehehe!
GREAT list, Denise! My heart did multiple palpitations just reading about the books!!! LOL
Sounds familiar except for the multiple books part. If I'm not so in to the book that I HAVE to read it every possible minute, I put it down and get another. LOL
I am with Colleen on this one. If I am not that into a book I just return it to the library and start another one. I hate wasting time on a bad book (sorta like wasting calories on bad chocolate)I love the ones I can't put down. Have you read Obsessed by Ted Dekker? THAT was an INTENSE book, I had to put that down and walk away because it was so intense. Just like I leave the room during intense parts of movies....the only thing is that I had to pick the book back up and keep reading it to see what happened. Oh well!
Hmmmm.... That is so me that it is scary! I actually have a room just for my books.... :) I've found myself buying books every paycheck. And I just made it worse, because I joined the Barnes and Noble club... They give you discounts for everything, extra for ordering online, Starbucks coffee, free shipping ( and I get my books next day!) and to top it off they send these coupons that make it way to cheap! I think it's an addiction! Is there a support group for that??? Hello, my name is Jessica, I read.... :)
Yes, those are all familiar!
I usually stick with one book until I finish it. My book sits by my nursing chair, and then I just take it with me when I go somewhere. I do put my magazines in the bathroom, since they're easy to read in short settings!!
I've actually had my husband change my Amazon password so I can't buy books as easy! I was wanting (and buying) too many books. So, yes, I do think it's an addiction! =)
Denise, you might be able to find a "So Many Books, So Little Time" t-shirt from Upstart--I think that's where I got mine. You can check their Web site:
www.highsmith.com, and click on Upstart. I saw a bag there.

These things are unusual?
Thank goodness for the Public Library or I'd never be able to acquire all the books on my ever-growing list!
In regard to the "So Many Books, So Little Time" t-shirt, I surfed around and found a great online store for bibliophlies/bookworms with all kinds of t-shirts, sweatshirts, coffee mugs, and bumperstickers. The direct link to the "So Many Books, So Little Time" t-shirts is http://www.cafepress.com/fsotherstuff/669167 but if you play around, you can find other sayings. I liked "A Room Without Books is like A Body Without a Soul".

2. There's a book on your nightstand, in your car, and in your purse.
Try 2 on your nightstand, a few IN your nightstand, a couple in your car, one in your backpack to read when your professors get boring, one in your purse for who knows what reason, one at both your aunt and cousin's house in case you forget to bring a book (which means forgetting your backpack AND purse and driving a different car, btw) AND the books that they have spontaneously combusted, AND a book in your trumpet case.
...I'm insane.
Oh well :)
