What Marisela loves...

My family, my dog (sometimes not in that order), Puerto Rican food, coffee (did I mention I'm Puerto Rican?), Hiking at Acadia National Park, the ocean, cheap workout videos, good police shows (seriously), any great sci-fi movie, oh, and, READING, which is more like a "need" than a "like."

My favorite authors (this week) are...

Wallace Stegner, Rosario Ferre, Tana French, Jo Nesbo, Geraldine Brooks, David Sedaris, Malcolm Gladwell, Simon Winchester, Judy Blume, Jack Gantos, Peter Brown & Sarah Stewart.
