nin0uch Posted May 26, 2010 Posted May 26, 2010 Hello everyone ! Hope you're fine? ^^ My name's Hazel, "nin0uch" is nothing but my usual nickname ^^ I'm from Belgium and I'm 22. I'm studying English and Dutch at school so I guess this forum will also be a way for me to improve my English ^^ In 2 years time I'll be a teacher so I have to learn as much as I can ^^ Well, of course the first reason why I joined this forum is because I'm a bookaholic as all of you. But I also like to collect books ! Just seeing them "welcoming" me everytime I enter my bedroom is a real pleasure ^^ My favourite authors are Mireille Calmel (she's French so maybe you've never heard about her ^^), Philippa Gregory (of course !!), Jane Austen, William Shakespeare, Stephanie Meyer, Nicholas Sparks, JK Rowling and Eric-Emmanuel Schmidt (very well-known in Belgium, France and many other countries ^^ Don't know if you know him). I have so many favourite books that this page won't be enough to tell you about all of them But if I had to choose 3 books, I'd probably take "Lady Pirate" by M.Calmel, "The other Boleyn girl" by P.Gregory, and "Memoirs of a geisha" by A.Golden. In fact, I really ADORE historical books, love stories (girls, girls, girls ) and fantasy books ^^ That are my favourite kinds of books. Now I do not read all day long of course ! I'm also fond of history (everything that concerns Britain and France and particularly the Tudor Dynasty and Anne Boleyn which is my heroine ) and I also love music My favourite singers are Bethany Joy Lenz and Frank Sinatra But I usually listen a bit of everything. Yesterday I discovered a new singer called Ginny Owens and her song "If you want me to" ^^ I must say I'm already in love with the song Mmmhh.... what else could I say? Oh, yes ! My favourite film is definitely "A walk to remember" which I find really stunning, amazing, beautiful and my God SOOOO sad (girls, girls, girls once again ). Since I've watched that film I'm dreaming of a Landon Carter (which in my opinion is the ideal man ) . I also love "The other Boleyn girl", "Titanic", all the films with Jim Carrey, Keira Knightley, Natalie Portman and Sophia Bush and ALL the Disneys of course ^^ About the serials/series I love, I would say "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" (I die laughing everytime I watch it), "One Tree Hill" and "The Simpsons" I think I've said enough, haven't I? Whatever people I'm really happy to be here and will post as soon as I can as I have to pass exams for the moment ! ^^ So see you soon Ps : Sorry if I made any mistake !! ^^ I often try to read twice but I don't always see every mistake I made ^^ Quote

Roland Butter Posted May 26, 2010 Posted May 26, 2010 Welcome to the Forum, Hazel. Your English is better than mine Quote
nin0uch Posted May 26, 2010 Author Posted May 26, 2010 How lovely ! Thanks to all of you ! That's really nice I already discovered SO many things !! I had a long list of books to read, now I have MORE books to read Think I know what I'm gonna do during summer holidays Quote
Kidsmum Posted May 27, 2010 Posted May 27, 2010 Hi Hazel & welcome to the forum I've got Memoirs of a Geisha on my bookshelves but haven't got round to reading it yet. If you like historical fiction i'd definitely recommend Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follet it's a fantastic read. Quote
nin0uch Posted May 27, 2010 Author Posted May 27, 2010 So many persons talked to me about that book that I finally decided to put it in my list of books I have to read Thank you for your advice I don't have the words to describe "Memoirs of a geisha", it's an amazing book and I read it rather quickly though it's a more than 600 pages book ^^ I mean the story, the way it is written, the characters,... just a wonderful book you should read Once again thanks everyone for your cordial welcome Quote
madcow Posted May 27, 2010 Posted May 27, 2010 Hello and welcome, I too enjoyed Memoirs of a Geisha, great book. Quote
nin0uch Posted May 28, 2010 Author Posted May 28, 2010 Thank you to all of you once again It's a real pleasure for me to discover the forum and I hope I'll soon have the chance to discover each of you through the topics Quote
