Maggie Collins. 12 and 42 :)

Hmm...

#12 - Aside from her art books, Maggie is very widely read. She tends to focus what time she has on the NY Times Best Seller list, because that gives her a decent cross section of what people are enjoying.

When she buys books for herself they're usually hard cover. She's thought about buying an e-reader for herself, but the weight of a hard cover book in her hands is comforting. Reading a physical book also forces her to stop what she's doing and take a break.

#42 - Maggie's hobbies are reading, and she likes to paint but she typically focuses that energy on decorating her living space. She's painted random accents (flowers, curlicues, etc) all through her apartment, and the rooms are done in interesting, non-traditional colors.

Drawing is another one of her hobbies, but that one has a lot of guilt attached. Every time she looks at her sketch book she has to acknowledge that it's been too long since she's gone out with a pencil and her book and just drawn. Which typically keeps her from picking up the book. Which makes it worse next times she notices the book (lather, rinse, repeat).
