Dorte had a fun entry on her blog yesterday and encouraged others to join in so I thought I'd give it a try. She mostly reads crime fiction, but I had to stick with a broader selection. If you decide to play, please come back and leave a link to your post in the comments! Here's what I came up with to answer the questions:

People might be surprised I'm: Infected (Scott Sigler)
I will never be: Contagious (Scott Sigler)
My fantasy job is: Queen Victoria Demon Hunter (A.E. Moorat)
At the end of a long day I need: Tea Time for the Traditionally Built (Alexander McCall Smith)
I hate it when: Your Heart Belongs To Me (Dean Koontz)
Wish I had: Revelation (C.J. Sansom)
My family reunions are: Relentless (Dean Koontz)
At a party you'd find me with: The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest (Stieg Larsson)
I've never been to: The Road (Cormac McCarthy)
A happy day includes: The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie (Alan Bradley)

On my bucket list: Beat the Reaper (Josh Bazell)
In my next life, I want to be: Delicious and Suspicious (Riley Adams)*

- Making my way through the ups and downs of life, holding fast to my favorite Bible verse: "For we walk by faith, not by sight." ~2 Corinthians 5:7. I began blogging in earnest at Yahoo360 on October 24, 2005. (briefly using LiveJournal and blog-city prior to that) In June 2008 I moved to Blogger. I'm now at WordPress where I hope to remain.
