Favorite genre: I love fantasy, romance, and sci-fi, but if I had to pick just 1, I would probably say romantacy.
Favorite and least favorite troupe: these are pretty fluid for me, currently I would probably say found family is my fave and least fave would be why choose maybe.
Favorite book: no way I could pick just 1, so here's a few of my faces from the last year or 2: Little Thieves (and Painted Devils) by Margaret Owen, Emily Wilde series by Heather Fawcett, Yumi & the Nightmare Painter by BrandoSando, The Bone Shard Daughter by Samantha Shannon, The Poppy War by RF Kuang, and Magnolia Parks by Jessa Hastings.

Fun fact: I randomly "met" my husband the day I was born. His toddler brother broke his arm that day. Small town in WV and since it was 1983, things were a lot different back then. My husband is 6wks older than me, so when his mom took his brother in for xrays, the nurses offered to put my husband in the newborn nursery. I was the only other baby in there. We didn't learn this until we'd already been married for years. I think it's pretty cool, though.
