Introducing Myself

Post by kepi222 »

Hello everyone!
I am so excited to have discovered this site! I'm a college senior getting a degree in Elementary Education. I'm the quirky kind of nerd that people compare to Ms. Frizzle. Anyway, I love all things romance and Young Adult novels. Growing up in a house where you had to complete so many books a summer, it was just a matter of time before I found my niche in genres. I love all things fantasy, adventure, science fiction, and romance. Mostly romance. Okay so if there isn't much of a romantic subplot I create my own but come on, I love putting personalities together. It's partially why books dealing with reverse harems and polyamory interest me so much. Seeing how different personalities mesh together is super fun. I enjoy writing but it's hard for me to sit down and put my thoughts onto paper. I can write dialogue all day but describing actions and places is a bit trickier. Besides reading and writing, I love all things geeky. Video games (with the exception of Madden), cosplay, anime and manga, and fantasy movies and shows are what I like to spend my days doing. That and color guard in marching band. You would think after doing it for 8 years I would get tired of it but when you like to dance you like to dance.

That was just a little snippet about me. Sorry I rambled a bit. A couple series I'm following right now / favorites of the past are:
The Ghost Bird Series by: C.L. Slone
The Divinicus Nex Series by: A & E Kirk
The Significance Series by: Shelly Krane
Any Meg Cabot or Abbi Gline books
The Chronicles of Narnia Series by: C.S. Lewis
Pride & Prejudice by: Jane Austen
Outlander by: Diana Gabaldon
And tons more!

So here's my question to you all. What series do you all like? What genres do you enjoy? Any other fellow romance lovers?!

What is grief, if not love persevering?

Grief is just love with no place to go.
