Hi, I'm Jey. I'm in my final year of university, facing all the surprisingly hard decisions that come with it. (Resume' writing, re-writing, anyone? :D)

Welcome Jey.

[Birgit]

Hi, I'm Birgit, from Austria. I'm still in school so I can't buy too many books (but I do). I also like to write in English and German. :)

[LauraT]

Hi Brigit!

[Elaine]

Hi Guys,

Lovely to see new group. Well done those who set it up. I may not post as often as I wish but it's nice to be able to nip in and out.

I'm Elaine from Cardiff, Wales. I read a random selection of stuff but love literary fiction. I don't have anywhere near enough time to read all the things I want to yet still can't seem to stop buying books. I possibly need help!

[Alannah]

Hi Birgit and Elaine, it's so nice to see you guys here.

[LauraT]

Welcome Elaine! Feel free to post whenever you like - or have time to!!!

[Beth (bibliobeth)]

Hi everyone, I've come over from the old group and looking forward to lots of book chats! I'm Beth, and I work as a scientist in London, UK and am an absolute book-obsessive - hey aren't we all?! Thanks for creating this group guys.

[Pink]

Hi everyone, I too am glad to see some familiar names and faces from Perks. I'm looking forward to getting stuck into this new group!

A bit about me...my name is Pink, I live in the UK with my 2 teenage kids and I work as a supervisor for foster kids and their families. Obviously I love reading, mostly classics or 20th century, but I give most things a try.

[Leslie]

Welcome everyone! It is wonderful to see so many familiar faces :)

With everything happening so quickly, and right in the middle of summer holidays, I hope that you will bear with us through any bumps as we get things going. And please, tell us if you have suggestions! We may not implement all of them but we want to hear them :) The thread is located in 'General Info - Ideas/Suggestions'.

[Alannah]

Hi Elizabeth and Pink, it's really nice to see both of you here.

Do you know, Dhanarah, I didn't realize you were from Tamil Nadu? Where is your home there? I was there on holiday as an independent traveller many moons ago.
