Jenclair and Matt tagged me on the 8 Random Facts/Habits About You meme.
The rules –

• Each player starts with 8 random facts/habits about themselves.
• People who are tagged, write a blog post about their own 8 random things, and post these rules.
• At the end of your post you need to tag 8 people and include their names.
• Don’t forget to leave them a comment and tell them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.

1. I used to play the violin. Sadly my violin has been neglected for years and years.
2. My dad was a chef and my mom a seamstress. I can’t cook nor sew.
3. I’m an only child. Was I spoiled rotten? Not in material things but definitely given lots of attention.
4. I love to wear jewelry. Nothing fancy just funky necklaces, dangly earrings, etc. but I don’t wear a watch. I haven’t worn one in 6-7 years and I don’t miss it.
5. One day I want to live in Germany.
6. I love to learn new things and take classes. On my list of things I want to learn are: papermaking, silkscreen printing, sewing, jewlery beading, and the list goes on.
7. I started wearing glasses when I was 12 and was so super happy when I got contacts at 17.
8. I’m a pen junkie. Colored pens, ball-point, gel, and dare I say even glitter ink ones. I can never have enough.

Next I’m tagging:
Andi – Estella’s Revenge
Nancy – Live.Love.Read
Tanabata – In Spring it is the Dawn
Heather – A High and Hidden Place
Danielle – A Work in Progress
Dark Orpheus – Orpheus Sings the Electric Guitar
aka Nik – Keep this on the DL
Melissa – Book Nut

I said I wasn’t going to put together a list for the Summer Mystery challenge but I will list some of the books I’m considering. Here are some new-to-me authors who I’ve been meaning to read for the longest time.

• To Shield the Queen by Fiona Buckley
• The Shape of Water by Andrea Camilleri
• Thus Was Adonis Murdered by Sarah Caudwell
• The Strange Files of Fremont Jones by Dianne Day
• What Angels Fear by C.S. Harris
• Birdman by Mo Hayder
• What’s a Girl Gotta Do by Sparkle Hayter
• I Dreamed I Married Perry Mason by Susan Kandel
• This Dame for Hire by Sandra Scoppettone
• The Franchise Affair by Josephine Tey
• The Blind Man of Seville by Robert Wilson
• Death of a Red Heroine by Qiu Xiaolong

Those are just some of the titles that I think would be fun to read. I like having the freedom to read at whim so that’s why I’m not chosing a stack ahead of time. Watch, none of these will be the ones that I end up reading. Anyway, I’ll be sure to let you know which books I’m chose as I go along.

Oh and if you’ve read any of these and can recommend them please do so!
