My dreams include traveling the world on someone else's expense account.
I live in Utah. I consider myself a stay at home mom. But a few days a month, I take a paid vacation. Its my job to pour coke and preform CPR (if needed) for passengers aboard a commercial airliner. AKA: Flight attendant.
I've only read one book, that I can think of, since my daughter was born. She's almost four. So, it's about time for me to start reading again. I take that back, I have read hundreds of board books, but they weren't for my reading pleasure.
The book that started it all: I never liked to read as a kid. As a matter of fact, I HATED it. My sophomore year of college a friend told me that I just needed to read the right book. He recommended The Alchemist by: Paulo Coelho. This was also the year that I got the travel bug. This book was like a dream to me. It was so enchanting. It's still my favorite book.
Favorite childhood book: See above.
Favorite Book: See above or right.
Favorite Time/Place to read: In a perfect world...I'd be on a beach, 78 degrees with a mild breeze. I'd be sitting in a nice cushy lounger with a big umbrella over head. No kids, No bugs, No sunburn. Just crashing waves and a bottomless diet coke with lots of ice and a slice of lime. In reality, the ONLY place I get to read a book is on the jump seat of an airplane, when I'm really supposed to be slinging peanuts.
Preferred book genre: I'm not really sure yet. All I know, is it better grab me within the first 50 pages, or I won't finish it. My time is to precious to waste on a book that I don't want to read.
Which book are you most excited to read? Eat Pray Love. I have been dreaming of Italy my whole life. So, I have no problem reading about it.

Hey Brittany, nice to meet you. I'm so glad you're here. Oh, and I agree 150% about the perfect beach world for reading. I have never heard of The Alchemist. Is it a novel? What is it about?

I like to think it's a fable. It's a story about a young spanish boy who is in search of his destiny. He travels through egypt and has many great experiences along the way. It's really a book about following your dreams. It's a good "book group" type book. Seeing that our list is so long already...maybe next year.
Hey don't I know you? I think the Alchemist looks good too, maybe we will have to add it to the list next year! Wow, you're going from one book in the last 4 years to who knows how many this year! Maybe you need a trip to Hawaii purely for reading. Maybe you'll have to settle for the Cali coast.
Oh I'm so with you on the bottomless diet coke with the lime slice!
