I wanted to be Alice or Dorothy every time I read Alice in Wonderland or Wizard of Oz. <br /><br />When I was a kid, I was convinced I was living out Cinderella's life - and I let my mom know every time she asked me to wash dishes or dust.

Mainly because I don't read horror, or really violent, or all those yucky kinds. <br /><br />I read romance and if that means I'm fickle for wanting to meet a different guy every day, well so be it.

A day in a busy seaport in the UK in the early 19th century. I can't pick one place or time. SorryDebra E. Marvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17853387871623424853noreply@blogger.com
