Introduce yourselves!
Welcome Kim, glad you're back on the books.
Hi, I’m Gabrielle Dubois, I’m a French reader and author, in this order, because one has first to be a big reader before to be a writer.I like History, especially the 19th century authors, poets, composers. I devote a real cult to my beloved Théophile Gautier and Ludwig van Beethoven.
I have a necessary job to living and support my family, I have two wonderful children. So necessarily, I'm a great worker, but I like it!
One of my dreams? Visiting Australia one day.
Will I do it? Yes.
One of my wishes? Having enough strength and time to achieve my work.

Thank you Jenny. Is there a particular book that made you like reading?

Thank you Ace. Is it a female or a male name?
Welcome Gabrielle. I hope you make it to Australia one day. I have spent some time in France and loved it. Going to French lessons currently but finding it very hard - all that conjugation!

English is much easier than French, I'm sure!
How long have you been studying French, Rita?
