About Me
- Christine
- I often have a few books with bookmarks in them at once. I enjoy classics more than contemporary works of fiction, often read historical fiction, and love to get glimpses into other people's lives by reading memoirs and biographies.

Well, I got them all except for the ingredient in a White Lady. I thought it was vodka. Just goes to show what a sober person I am!
apparently, I know nothing.
two for five. Might have guessed Zimbabwe.
