About Me

I am Holley.

I read for adventures and fun. I love escaping and reading experiences I will never live through in my own world. Books are like air. I need them to survive.

Basically.

But other than that, I'm just pushing through this life trying to make my way just like any other girl. I spend my days working and daydreaming. My husband is my best friend and my anchor, keeping me safe and steady when the waves of the world around me threatens to carry me out to sea.

I love cars, music, TV, and movies, and anything that makes me FEEL something... anything that reminds me I am alive. I am passionate, smart, confident and strong. I'm a fierce nerd, and I claim that characteristic just as proudly as all the others.

Favorite books:

1. The Stand by Stephen King
2. Ready Player One by Ernest Cline
3. Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand
4. Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden
5. Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury
6. The Dark Tower series by Stephen King
ok I could probably keep going but I'll stop there....

(note the variety in this list)

According to Oprah's quiz here....

my result:

The Lionizer

You bring an element of fiction to the way you see the world and the way you see yourself. To you, life is an adventurous novel that you create and change, day by day, taking inspiration for your own path from the actions and journeys of brave, determined people you know, or read about. The Goldfinch will intrigue you as much as A House for Mister Biswas; and for you, the slums of Behind the Beautiful Forevers or a biography of Thomas Jefferson will hold as much allure as the towers of Hogwarts in the Harry Potter series. For you, a book is a passport to another place and time. Whether you travel much in your real life, you like books that transport you to terra incognita, like Land of Love and Drowning or Absurdistan. In your dreamsCloud Atlas is your diary. Nonfiction books hold your interest when they describe personalities and situations that demonstrate the mutability and drama you crave. You likely harbor a passion for classic children's literature, too—that's the Lionizer's wading pool.

That's pretty much accurate.
