I'm Debbie, 28 years old, living in The Netherlands with 2 dogs, 2 cats, 5 rats and a rabbit. I just learned Myrren's gift is being translated into Dutch (Myrrens geschenk) and I'm very excited about it. I bought the english paperback, the dutch version will be in stores in januari 2006. Haven't read my english paperback yet, but will get to it. My TBR-pile is really a monster. I work in a bookstore, that's how I know the book will be translated. I'll make sure it gets a nice spot in the store...

Loves: My boyfriend, Chocolate, reading, Chocolate, God, chocolate, trying to learn the guitar, chocolate, the internet
 Reads: Whenever I can. I used to be the hugest bookworm I've ever met... but somewhere along the way about way around 4 years ago life caught up to me and now I just dont get the time to read like I used to. But I enjoy reading fantasy, kids books, and other bits and pieces that take my fancy. Favourite series of books: Sword of truth (although it's gotten a bit long winded now...) John Marsden's Tomorrow Series, Matthew Reilly's books with Scarecrow, Liveship Traders, The Witches of Eileanan, The quickening...
Favourite movies: Robin Hood Men in Tights, Down With Love, The Princess Bride, Ella Enchanted, The Importance of Being Earnest, BBC version of Pride and Prejudice (I wasn't too fussed with the new version's take on Mr Darcy, unfortnately Coling Firth is irreplacable!)
TV Shows: Buffy, Angel, Dark Angel, Alias (which I unfortunatey missed most of this series because I was constantly working on uni stuff or stuff for prac), Smallville (which starts back tonight! I've actually watched up to the end of season 3, although this is going to somewhere in season 2 tonight... which is annoying, because it's going to be a LONG while before I get to see season 4! hehe

I am Me! This is I! Therefore we can conclude that me, is who I am.
