My Favorites
Books
Before Lilith was born I read an absurd amount of books, up to 500 books a year. I have no real problem with reading 7 books in one day if I have the day to myself. After she was born I haven’t had as much time, but that changes as she gets older. My favorite authors are:
Movies
I mostly watch crime, horror, sci-fi and thrillers. But I also enjoy movies like Ice Age and I’ve probably seen almost all Vampire movies that are worth watching. I never, ever willingly watch drama. There’s too much drama in real life, so why would I want to watch it when I try to relax and enjoy myself?
