My name is Katie Rasche. It’s pronounced “rash-ee.” Don't worry, you can laugh.
I am a freshman at Illinois State University. I am originally from Decatur, and I had never been to Chicago till I started coming here. I listen to mainly country music. I own a Carhartt coat, a pair of Laredo boots, and a pair of Dan Post boots. I love to be outdoors, and I miss my home out in the country. Mudding is my favorite sport, and my dream car is a Ford dually F350 4x4 with a lift kit.
I love to read. I got this addiction to books from my mom, who is my best friend. Grammar and spelling errors are my biggest pet peeves. I also strongly believe that if a person doesn’t read a book in its entirety, he or she have no right to criticize it.
I am a Christian and technically a Baptist. However, I do not exactly agree with everything the Baptist church dictates. I was born into a Christian family, but I do not have a relationship with Jesus Christ because of that. I made that particular decision based on observation. The belief that this incredibly complex and amazing universe was simply happen chance seems absurd to me.
My blog page is green because green is the color for lymphoma, cancer of the lymph nodes. My mom is currently in remission, and I thank God that she is still here.
I try to live life to its fullest and enjoy each day. My favorite author, Terry Pratchett, once wrote, “It is said that your life flashes before your eyes just before you die. That is true, it's called Life.”

Great quote at the end! When you say you love to read, who are your favorite authors, what are some of your favorite books? What are you currently reading now and what do you think of it so far? I'm interested to read more!

Terry Pratchett and Mercedes Lackey are hands down my favorite authors. My favorite book by Pratchett is Thud. My favorite books of Lackey's are her Heralds of Valdemar books. It is about a 14 book series, and she has done a magnificent job at intertwining the books, while giving each it's own personality. I highly recommend it. I just finished reading Shirley Jackson's We Have Always Lived In The Castle. It is well-written and very entertaining. She is an interesting writer.
