  9. Just followed your Twitter!

    Random fact: I once spent an enjoyable summer afternoon fishing golf balls out of a lake.

    There are actually two books I'd like: http://www.bookdepository.com/book/9781439168820/Masked and http://www.bookdepository.com/book/9781906735678/Shine. I've wanted to read them for a while, but can't quite justify the purchase after looking at my TBR pile and wallet. :(
