ummlilia Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 Hi all, my name's June..I'm excited to find this site.. have only just found it after seeing it mentioned over on Twitter. I'm a middle aged mum who has rediscovered reading of late and I'm fed up of talking to non-bookloving friends and family whose eyes glaze over as I gush about yet another book they have never heard of,let alone read..! I look forward to spending some time among like-minded people here.. Waving to you from a rather cloudy Brighton.. Quote
Raven Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 Welcome, from a rather sunny Chichester! (I don't know if it is heading your way!). Quote
chesilbeach Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 Hello June! Welcome aboard, you've definitely come to the right place to find people to chat to books about Quote
Ben Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 Welcome to BCF. You sound like you'll fit in here just great. Quote
ummlilia Posted March 29, 2013 Author Posted March 29, 2013 Wow, you lot are quick..went away for a spot of beans on toast and came back to your kind replies..thanks all.. Quote
julie Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 You found a great place to talk about books . No need to be nervous, everyone is friendly . Do you like a specific type book, or lots of different ones ? Quote

Do you like a specific type book, or lots of different ones ? Hi Julie..fairly broad tastes..mostly 'literary-fiction', classics,crime/thrillers.. and I love translated fiction as I am an armchair traveller... I am not a big fan of horror or fantasy..although I am doing some challenges over on Goodreads involving reading genres you wouldn't usually try so I've varied things a bit recently. The only one I really don't get one with is YA..I have 'had a go,' but it's just not my thing.. Quote
Drislane Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 A warm welcome to you. Nothing to be nervous about. Somersault right in to the deep end. The water is good! Quote

SueK Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 Nice to meet you June. I know what you mean when you want to just talk books and people start looking at their watches . Anyway, I'm not a million miles from you either, in cold Tunbridge Wells. Quote
Chryssie Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 Hello and welcome from sunny... no.. snowy... no wait... rainy... no its sunny.... snowy again, Dereham! I'm sure you will fit right in here, and have great discussions once you have caught up on all the threads you will stumble upon everywhere! Quote
Kidsmum Posted April 2, 2013 Posted April 2, 2013 I'm fed up of talking to non-bookloving friends and family whose eyes glaze over as I gush about yet another book they have never heard of,let alone read..! Ah yes i've had that experience usually people smile politely but you can tell they're not really interested & those are the ones who profess to like books Well you'll certainly not have that experience here Welcome to the forum June Quote
