Books:

Yay Books!!! I can read!!! ... I like to read Dean R. Koontz books. He has great characters and he loves putting incredible animals (mostly dogs) in his gripping stories of terror and love. He's been my favorite author since "The Bad Place" which I read over 10 years ago. He is such a gifted writer!
Other than that, I enjoyed Memoirs of a Geisha very much and I look forward to seeing it on the big screen. I may re-read it to refresh my memory of it so I may have a true comparison.
Hmm.... I wish I had more time to read but it really does take a lot of time and for the most part I'm working in the studio on my album and on my website so I don't really make time to read books for pleasure much these days. Only books to further my career and of course - Dean Koontz. I always can make a few evenings to suck in a Dean Koontz book. : )

Heroes:

Mmmmm Firemen. :)
And of course my man, Gabriel .
Also, Mariah Carey (can't get enough), and myself. I can save myself.
