Kasei Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Birthday: July 21 1987 Age: 19 Starsign: Cancer Single/Married/Other? Single Children? Nope Where do you live? Texas Do you work? Sort of. I work full-time over the summer at a daycare near my parents' house and am trying to find part-time work near my apartment during the school year. Favourite author? I love many authors, but I suppose the author who has the highest number of books I've enjoyed is Robin Mickenly. Favourite book? Again, many. Too many to name or pick. How did you get here? Got fed up with trying to start up decent book discussions elsewhere and, being unable to attend local book club meetings with anything resembling regularity, I finally had the brilliant idea to do a Google search for book club forums and voil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Child.of.God.1989 Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 Hello, everyone! I am glad to get started, and proud to be among so many friendly, well-educated people. Enjoy. Birthday: August 27, 1989 Age: 18 and a couple of months Starsign: ...I don't believe in astrology. Ooh, but my birthstone is peridot! I wore a peridot dress as a bridesmaid one year and one day ago. Single/Married/Other? Single, not looking right now Children? None. Coming from a big happy family, I'd like to have four to six someday if Mr. Right agrees. Where do you live? I live in a nice house in America's lovely (though currently blustery) Pacific Northwest. Do you work? Yes, happily as a server at a nearby retirement center (still haven't been able to check out the library!); and soon part time at McDonald's as well. Both are to raise money for school in January. Favourite author? I'll go by genre, even though that still leaves some out. - Classical: Jane Austen - Christian/Romance: Francine Rivers - Suspense: Ted Dekker - Non-fiction: C.S. Lewis - Fantasy: J.K. Rowling Favourite book? (I like how it's spelled with a "u"!) My all-time favorite would be the Mark of the Lion trilogy by Francine Rivers. My current favorite is Mansfield Park by Jane Austen. Both have inspiring one inspiring main character each, sweet and humble. How did you get here? I was browsing ads in my local library, waiting for my sister to pick me up, and there the invitation was! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echo Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 Welcome, Child.of.God.1989! Whew, that's a long name! I grew up in the Seattle area, so I must live somewhere sort of near you.

Child.of.God.1989 Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 Thank you for the affable, sweet welcomes, Echo and Purple Poppy! (Those names are much more succint!) I have already learned so much here, be it great movies or authors I forgot to follow through and check out long ago. Yes, your pleasing-to-the-eyes ad worked in at least one Sno-Isle library. Echo, I live in Marysville, a little more than forty-five minutes north of Seattle. I liked your optimistic thoughts on the changes in climate we have seen. I had much fun in the summer, but sometimes I look forward to those days when I can guiltlessly down half a box of hot Mac N Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
