I’m a romantic at heart so anything that has an ounce of romance has me drawn to it. I truly wouldn’t give some books a second look if not for the recommendation of other authors or going back further, those given to us in school. I find myself extremely lucky that Pride and Prejudice was in my curriculum and the only other book that I remember from those days was The Hobbit.
Sharon you introduced me to the ‘Sword of Truth’. And when I mentioned it to my DIL she highly recommended it also. At the time Legend of the Seeker was being played on TV and I fell in love with Richard and Kahlan. So I thought I’d give the books a read, even though I would not have normally been drawn to them. To date I have only read six of them. I tend to think that it is my small mind that cannot absorb all that is said in sci-fi books. The Lord of the Rings blows me away with its depth. Wars and fighting have never ever been my cup of tea and I find this a turn off in any novel. In saying that I hope that one day I will have the motivation to read the whole Sword of Truth series.
I enjoyed your passage Merry and I look forward to reading your novels. The thing I love most is having new books to read 🙂

I find it fascinating on several levels that so many of us that like historical (i.e. Jane Austen) novels, also enjoy sci-fi/fantasy novels. On the contrary, I know quite a few people who love drama, thrillers, current paperback novels and cannot abide either historical or sci-fi/fantasy. Just interesting the different strokes for different folks kind of thing. =D

I’ll be honest and tell you that I’ve never heard of your books, but on Sharon’s recommendation, I’m looking for them now! Thanks so much for sharing!
