Mary's Notebook

Back to Profile

I have been reading some cozy's and also like historical fiction and history books. For Historical fiction, I can recommend: LABYRINTH , THE HISTORIAN and: DESTINY BY FIRE. As for history, I am interested right now in studing the Cathars, or Albigensians, a sect of "heretical" Christians in medieval france who were the subject of the 4th crusade. I can recommend the fiction: THREE, by Ted Dekker. It's a real shocker, and you won't see the ending coming. I also recommend a real life story: THE LOST GERMAN SLAVE GIRL by John Bailey.

I have traveled to Ireland twice, and once to: Caracus, Venezuela and Rome, Italy, London, England, and to Wales. I want to go to France on my next trip, to the Languedoc. (if the dollar ever recovers against the Euro!) My favorite colors are purple and green, I love the ocean and the snow. Winter is my favorite season.

Hey, I'm just cruising and I read your notes. I'm also interested in the Cathars, I didn't know this sect ever existed till I read the book "the Good men". Since then I've been ashamed of going to my Dominican run church! :O I like to read about religious themes, schisms, history, etc.

Anyway, just putting my 2 cents in... : ) Have a good day!

MaRY, i JUST CaNCELLED trhe book on the Holy grail bcause they sent me two different requests and I thought they were "selling" it twice. When I went into the second one, it was your name again. If they have made an error, I will definately send it if you would be willing to give me one in exchange. I just didn't want to think someone I had 2 books.

I hope you can understand. I will update you when I here from the pm person "librian."
