    1.) What is a book that you would really like to own, but currently do not?
    Haha, there's a lot....I set up a "NBC Holiday 2015 Wishlist" on elfster...or you can always look at my "to read" list on goodreads! If I already own it then it will be on the "already own" shelf as well.

    2.) If you could open your mailbox and find any kind of sweet/candy, what would it be?
    Mmm...almost any kind of milk chocolate...especially milk chocolate covered snacks (ie chocolate covered pretzels, etc...)

    3.) Is there any type of sweet/candy that repulses you or that you are highly allergic to?
    I'm not allergic to nuts but things with nuts in them aren't my favorite treats

    4.) What is your favorite and least favorite book genre?
    Favorite - Historical Fiction; Least Favorite - Horror

    5.) Is there anything else that your elf needs to know about you?
    I love surprises so don't feel bound to my list. Also used books are totally okay with me :)

  • 1.) What is a book that you would really like to own, but currently do not? Ahhh too many to choose!  I do have a wishlist going on Elfster

    2.) If you could open your mailbox and find any kind of sweet/candy, what would it be? That's tricky.  I don't eat a lot of sweets anymore.  I like jelly bellys...and Spangler candy canes are safe for me.  I love Wow Baking Company Lemon Burst cookies.  Generally though, I'm not big on the sweets. 

    3.) Is there any type of sweet/candy that repulses you or that you are highly allergic to?  I would love to eat everything BUT I do have Celiac Disease.  So anything with gluten is a huge no no. 

    4.) What is your favorite and least favorite book genre? I love fantasy and Young Adult.  My least favorite would probably be mystery or horror.

    5.) Is there anything else that your elf needs to know about you? Other than the gluten thing...not a whole lotI love surprises!  I'm really a much bigger fan of salt than sweet.

  • 1.) What is a book that you would really like to own, but currently do not?I am really in to  the Inspector Gamache series by Louise Penny. I am reading the 6th book right now, but I would very much enjoy the 8th book called A Beautiful Mystery (which I think I will be ready for by Mid-December). 


    2.) If you could open your mailbox and find any kind of sweet/candy, what would it be?
    Honestly, I'm not picky at all. I like salty as well! If I had to pick though, I would probably have to say Gummy Bears.

    3.) Is there any type of sweet/candy that repulses you or that you are highly allergic to?
    I'm not allergic to anything, but I'm not a huge fan of nuts or anything that has nuts in it.

    4.) What is your favorite and least favorite book genre?
    This seems to fluctuate, but right now my favorite genre is probably mystery and my least favorite is probably biographies.

    5.) Is there anything else that your elf needs to know about you?
    I also love surprises and I am just happy to be part of this exchange!

    To Kill a Mockingbird, Dinner- A Playbook (I love food- cooking, eating, reading about), The Catcher in the Rye, The Fault in Our Stars, Gone Girl.

    Honestly, I can't narrow down to just one book and I'm happy to receive anything.

  • Sorry!!!! I'm slow sometimes :)

    1.) What is a book that you would really like to own, but currently do not?  So many that I can’t wait to read! I’ve got a wishlist started on Elfster and need to add my Amazon wishlist to that. I’ll get on it J

     

     

    2.) If you could open your mailbox and find any kind of sweet/candy, what would it be? Cookies! Or a cupcake. I also enjoy Dove milk chocolate

     

    3.) Is there any type of sweet/candy that repulses you or that you are highly allergic to?  Swedish Fish really gross me out and I’m not a big fan of candy canes.

     

    4.) What is your favorite and least favorite book genre? I love YA and pretty open to most books. I really am not a huge fan of nonfiction or biographies. Some are interesting but they are low on my reading list :)

     

    5.) Is there anything else that your elf needs to know about you? I can’t think of anything but if you do please feel free to send me a message on Elfster!!
