However, I am addicted to the soap opera "Passions". My favorite characters are Tabitha and Teresa....and Whitney.....and Chad....and Paloma...and almost everyone, including the priest. I miss Timmy. Passions has to be the most unique soap ever. Hell in a basement? I love it!
Books
Most things Medieval. Both my husband and I read lots in many genres.
About me: What can I say? I love books! My first love is Medieval literature.
I studied Medieval literature for 10 years in graduate school and only recently have begun to read modern literature (i.e. anything written after 1500) and I am loving it!
We currently have 2 book review sites under construction at:
Merrimon Book Reviews Medieval Book Reviews our new site which will specifically celebrate books across genres with a Medieval element.
Both review sites are built in our spare time just for the fun of sharing great reads.
These website are built out of a love of books. We may not have quantity when it comes to reviews, but each book chosen has been read and loved. At present, we have only built the basics and the site is under fluid design.
Who I'd like to meet: Writers and readers!
As a reader, I am interested in Medieval literature, all things Medieval, plus paranormal romance, mysteries, suspense, romantic suspense, romance, Southern literature, local Colorado authors and fiction set in Colorado or nearby states, historical fiction and suspense without gratuitous gore/violence (but I do like a paranormal romance!). I also enjoy literature that has a spiritual element, particularly in an unexpected or eclectic way.
As a way of thanking my readers, I'm running a very special contest, my MERRY CHRISTMAS BALL CONTEST . On December 1st, one lucky person will win a $100 gift card just in time for Christmas shopping. Enter today and good luck!
