I look for escapism. Or something juicy... and different. Like "Pillars of The Earth." Let's go back to 1000 AD and see how a cathedral is built... with romance, religion, action, suspence and history? How can you go wrong that? Did you become a monk? Or a Sister in a convent? When the one who loves you.. a stone mason, who is going to build the cathedral and loves his boyhood sweetheart who became a nun... who both wishes to be togther. As a plague comes in and threatens everyone as they die one by one? And, who knows who will die and live and if the sweethearts will reunite before they die? If the Cathedral will be ever built? Will the monks and Sisters survive? Can they figure out who to combat the plague before everyone dies... And what about the peasant thief girl, half starving, who finds her love... but the Earl, a cold hearted bully of a man wants to kill her love so he can have her for himself? And, becasue of this, she starves... no food..and, works the fields... just to make him happy and watch her suffer?
Good romance! Good stuff is not the junk you see. But, something moire juicy!
Who wants to read the same old romance stuff?
