I like this survey. I will have to do it to. I agree Stephanie Plum is a hoot!
I see you have Sophia Kinsella's other books on the side there. Don't you love when authors use other names....Madeleine Wickham...I wonder if either is her real name...

If I was given this survey, it would have taken me FOREVER to fill it out because my mind always goes blank. I was reading your answers and it brought back a lot of memories. I have read most of these books that you listed. :) Have a great weekend.
