11 Facts About Me:

1. My full name is Christina Marie Madison.
2. My favorite Power Ranger was Kimberly, the Pink Ranger from the original series.
3. I wouldn't eat Edy's ice cream for a very long time after seeing a dancing baby commercial when I was younger that freaked me out - I now LOVE Edy's ice cream.

5. I started a book touring company that got up on it's feet this past March, Booksniffer Review Tours.
6. I have a thing about smells (if my blog name wasn't hint enough). When I smell something really good, like a book, wood, etc, I kind of just want to sit there breathing it in until it's gone. Weird, I know.
7. I hate walking around without something on my feet, shoes, socks, slippers, flip flops, etc.
8. Even though I'm only 5 feet tall, I naturally walk really fast, even taller people have trouble keeping up with me.

11. My love for anime and manga is almost as big as my love for books.
