Thank you! I love your avatar, I've always liked that painting. It actually looks a lot like a friend of mine. Ooh I just noticed I put Jame Eyre not Jane Eyre...my point about typos proved. I can't seem to edit it either...oh well.

Hi, I only just joined but I read your introduction and wanted to say hello. I love looking in charity shops for funny little books, or just cheap copies of well known ones! I also used to cross stitch. My mum got me into it. I never did anything too big or anything. I used to love making up my own patterns or making people cards or book marks.

Hello, I joined a few days ago but only just got my activation email. I'm glad it came as I can now post. Firstly I should probably mention, just to clear up any confusion, that my name isn't Sally! I'm an English girl in my late 20s. I suffer from depression and a few other issues. I used to read a lot in my teens and early 20s but I find it hard with my moods and trying to concentrate. I realised recently that I miss it so much and I decided to join this forum as a way of getting back into it. I don't really have many people in my real life to share my love of books with either. I've thought about joining book groups or things but I think I'm much too shy. This way seemed less scary. Some of my favorite books are The Bell Jar - Plath Wuthering Heights - Emily Bronte Jame Eyre - Charlotte Bronte The Woman In White - Wilkie Collins The Hours - Michael Cunningham The Yellow Wallpaper - Charlotte Perkins Gilman I also love to read poetry. I'm quite shy and quiet, my spelling is a bit iffy and I'm prone to typos . I hope to be able to bring something to the forum though. The End.
