Last but not least: the Library of Celsus
The history geek in me couldn't resist adding this one! I've personally visited this ancient library, and I can tell you it's nothing short of spectacular. Located in modern day Turkey, this library was once part of the Roman city, Ephesus. It's been said that it housed 12,000 to 15,000 scrolls. The library was completed in 135 AD

About me:
I love history. The reign of King Louis XIV is one of my favorite time periods.
It was a time of high culture and corruption.
Of elegance and excesses.
The pursuit of sinful pleasures--a sport. Sex--an art form all its own.
Because of the setting in my “Touch” series, it was easy to combine the two things I love to find in a historical romance novel - loads of steamy sensuality, hot amorous encounters and intrigue.
I'm an aspiring author. I write sensual and erotic historical romance and belong to RWA, Hearts through History and Passionate Ink.

THANKS FOR THE PIC, AMY!
~ VAUX-LE-VICOMTE ~
Step into the seventeenth century! This is a beautiful video of my favorite château---Vaux-le-Vicomte. Built by the infamous, Nicolas Fouquet Superintendent of Finance, this château was finer than any in the King's possession at the time (BIG mistake). Enjoy!
Who I'd like to meet: Other aspiring authors, authors, artists of every kind, people who love books, history, sports, languages, travel, coffee, tea, chocolate...Oh, and everyone else.
