The thing about love is that we can't control whether we get it, but we can control whether we give it. And each feels as good as the other. Your heart doesn't know if it's loving a man, a book, or a puppy. If your heart were that smart, it would be your brain.

I love my job, and I love books. I read anything, including cereal boxes. I care deeply about what people think of my books, and I memorize my reviews. I love to hear from my readers.

I am an open book, literally. I don't mind if people know way too much about me.

We can't control what people do or say, even if it's dumb.

Any middle-aged woman knows that our feet are not for the faint of heart, especially in midwinter. I wear clogs, so it's actually like my feet are wooden now.

It's the Snickers bars. Snickers equal romance.

I am really, I think, truly an easygoing, positive, fun person.
