What are you a junkie for?

What are you a junkie for? This question was posed on Brandi Wilson's blog: http://brandiandboys.wordpress.com and like her, I am a reading junkie. I read most anything and usually have something on my lap to read even while watching TV, do you do that to? I like to think I am multi-tasking.
Here are just a few of the magazines and authors that I like to read. I feel like when I am reading I am transported in their lives or their decorated rooms...what ever it maybe...I feel like I am there.

Just got this yesterday and oh I see ideas that I will have to put away in my some day decorating or when we build a house again notebook.

This is my newest book, the Bible and the Beth Moore bible study guide. Yes, I confess, I am ignorant when it comes to the Bible, I am sorely lacking in knowledge but hope that this will be the first of many studies for me.
If you know nothing about Gooseberry Patch books, it was started by two friends (neighbors) that were home with small children and chatting over the fence. They took their ideas and have made cookbooks, decorating books and craft books. Not only the books but you can get their catalog and purchase mostly retro style pieces and nifty gadgets.
I am so hooked on books that I should own stock in Doubleday, but when I am done reading I usually pass on my books to family and friends, there are exceptions. This is an author that I share with my sister in-law and she collects these hard cover additions, so on they will go to her.
This is just another author I like but I must confess that I do not get into all of her books. Some of her topics are just not up my alley.
This author has to be one of my all time favorites, Karen Kingsbury. My sister in-law, yep, the same one who likes Danielle Steel, got me started on the first book of the Baxter family. I was hooked big time and I have every one of these books in this series about them. Presently I am (patiently) waiting for the next book, "Sunset" to hit the shelves. This is one series of books that I will not share but will recommend. This is one series I think I could go back and read again and I have never done that. 
This author I share with our youngest daughter. She was never one to do much reading but when she happened upon Nicholas Sparks, she was hooked. If it got her to read, I was all for it. 
So tell me, what are you a junkie for?

Love Stephenie Meyers Twilight series. I read one Nicholas Sparks book and used up a whole roll of toilet paper...too sad. I haven't read a lot since blogging. I'm always looking for a good book though.
