   Merrimon Books's Blurbs
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.
