Molly

I've known these wonderful ladies Gabriela, Letty & Marcia since high school. It was a small high school and we had our share of fun there. Some experiences are meant to daydream about, certainly not to write about. LOL! No worries ladies, not spilling any secrets. In most cases life gets in the way and we lost contact. Thank goodness for Facebook & Twitter we found each other again.  I have always been dying to be part of a book club. Why? Well my fixation with book clubs began ever since I saw the movie "The Jane Austen Book Club". Seeing how different women can view the same book differently was fascinating to me. In the movie, not only did they discuss the books, they had potlucks, wine, lots of wine, plus they would "Bitch" about their life issues. I need that kind of sisterhood in my life. Don't get me wrong I have friends but the bond of reading and sharing is unexplainable. I yearned for that dynamic of reading and sharing. So through our fun/nonsense tweets we came to a realization that we all craved to be part of a book club. Our first meting was in February and it was the best decision ever!

A little bit of who I am. On a perfect day my hair is fabulous, my nail polish is impeccable and I'm sporting blood red lips. Which isn't the case 99.9% of the time. So back to reality...I'm a 35 year old housewife, mom of 3 great kids and a daydreamer at heart. I'm a passionate person, who at times is a bit neurotic/OCD. I can become mildly obsessed with new hobbies. I use the word mildly loosely and generously. LOL! I love to cook. I especially love to cook when it doesn't feel like a chore. The joy of creating something mouth watering and delicious thrills me to no end. Especially when I share it with people I love. I'm a HUGE movie lover. My taste in movies is very eclectic from Little Mermaid, Cinema Paradiso, Sixteen Candles, Top Gun, King's Speech, Pretty Woman, StepBrothers to Girl with The Dragon Tattoo. Same goes with music, I am all over the place. I should also point out that I'm trying to learn how to speak French & Italian. Just needed to throw that tid bit in. No rhyme or reason, just factoids. I'm a lover of Fashion & Style. The Oscars and Golden Globes are my idea of a SuperBowl. I have an obsession with shoes and purses. Which I have tamed down, sadly. My eyes tend to gravitate to anything shiney, glittery or sparkly. My new obession is finding the perfect silver or gold charm bracelet. Still in that quest. I have taken an appreciation of red wine lately. Normally I like to drink white wine, amaretto sour, margarita or hefenweizen. As you can see I'm just an ECLECTIC GAL. So now that you know a little of my background let's move on to books.

My love affair for books started with "Are you there God, it's me Margaret" and Sweet Valley High. Don't laugh! We all have to start somewhere. Of course my taste in books expanded from "To Kill A Mockingbird", "The Outsiders" to "Tara Road" and the list goes on. I love how books transport me and take me on a journey. I love to read Fiction, Mystery but my favorite is Romance/ChickLit. I feel that the world is already a dark place. I don't need to read about it also. The news does a good job of giving me a dose of evil doers. That's why I like to stick with the romance genre. Plus I'm a romantic at heart. What can I say, it's the daydreamer in me. Don't get me wrong, I love my husband dearly but a little fantasy never hurts anyone. So besides being married to my wonderful loving husband. I'm proudly mentally dating soccer players, movie stars and book characters ie Christian Grey. What can I say, am I busy gal in high demand. I try to give my fixations/hobbies equal time.

Yours truly, a lover at heart, crazy nut in mind,

Ciao Bella...Molly
