I won Hunting Diablo by Ellie Tremayne from Lady V and Crystal.

This book is an entirely new thing for me because I’ve never read a romance/erotica book before. Rather, I have read romance books before, but they were various genre works with romance included and not with romance as a main focus. A book written entirely for romance and erotica has never been included on my reading list before.

I am eager to read it to delve into the romance genre. Women like this stuff, right? Well, I want to know why and know what it’s all about. You never know… it may very well soon be a favorite genre of mine. Then, you’ll see me collecting Harlequin romance novels and frothing over muscular, long haired men with a brutish nature but a sensitive side that comes out at all the right times.

Here are the latest book giveaways I have come across in my travels through the world wide web.

1. Do you get to read as much as you WANT to read?

If I had the attention span, the time, and the stamina, I would love to read all day long. I would get up to shower and eat, maybe to use the restroom, but I would definitely read all day long. Unfortunately for me, I don’t have the energy for that. I would get too sleepy and end up sleeping most of the time. Or I’d feel bad for being lazy and get up to do something else. And, man, I wouldn’t have enough money to fund such a lavish lifestyle of all day and night book reading!

I definitely get to read a lot more now that I am not in college. In college, all I had time to do was read for class, study, do work and sleep. Now I have some free time, which allows me to chill out and finally read for pleasure.

2. If you had (magically) more time to read–what would you read? Something educational? Classic? Comfort Reading? Escapism? Magazines?

I have read enough education to last me a lifetime! I would read a mixture. As a former history major and certified social studies teacher, a good nonfiction book is pleasure to me. I really enjoy reading things based on history, so more than half the books on my pending list are educational in nature. Classics, too. I would just start at the top of my pending pile and read. There would be books on Roman Emperors, fiction books about vampires and D/s relationships, books about Vietnam and economic development in China. It would be a wide variety of books.
