    When I get together with friends, the conversation always turns to what books we're reading. I also love reading book reviews to hear what the critics are saying. I often leave my own book reviews on Goodreads and Amazon.

    Drama in story is great. Drama in real life – not so much. Thankfully, I can usually distance myself from high emotions in my coworkers, friends, or family.
