Newbies welcome and so are the lurkers who haven't posted before but have been on us. Even you oldies that haven't posted on this new forum but use to on the old forum. We miss you so come on back and get reacquainted.

I'm sorry, I thought this was the bookaholics anonymous thread where I was supposed to come introduce myself. P.S. I'm one of the admin for this site and hope that all oldtimers, newcomers, and lurkers enjoy their time here. So... pull up a recliner (or whatever is most comfortable), grab a good book, and have some laughs with the rest of us crazy book obsessed members. P.P.S. Oh... and I can't go through posting in this introduction thread without giving everyone a proper introduction. Lurkers Newcomers Old-Timers

I live in Buffalo, NY, USA and hang out regularly with some of the Canadians on the site (Aceofhearts, HoserLauren, Antheras, chronicbooker, irenic, cestmoi). I'm 27, happily married since July 2004, and "mom" to two crazy kitty-cats. I work an archivist in special collections at the university and do a lot of book reviewing. I also have a blog.

nom nom nom... Posts: 1,054 Group: Members Member #95 Joined: April 24, 2006	Howdy y'all! I'm Holly aka nwpassage, 28 year old software developer from northern BC, Canada. I live in sin with my 25 year old boyfriend Sterling aka Jemanu (who fixes ATMs for a living) and our two wonderful furbabies Bella & Bob (Sterling calls them cats, but what does he know?) We bought our first home last summer, so I guess we are "settled down" or something, especially since he says he is NOT moving all my books again! :lol: A big WELCOME to everyone and anyone who's new here! I'm not a mod or officially connected to this site in anyway, I'm just a regular joe (jane?) who spends way too much time here, but trust me this is a very friendly laid-back kind of place, so never be afraid to ask me or anyone else if you have any questions, we always want new folks to join our fun! Group hug!!!

Fully Obsessed Posts: 381 Group: Members Member #39 Joined: December 23, 2005	Hi everyone! I'm a lurking old-timer , so that means + Right Sanddanz?? I'm 27 years old, born and living in Finland, Europe. Working on my PhD-thesis. Several reasons why I'm a lurker at the moment. One reason is that I've started a blogg, which turned into a huge project and scary amount of readers. At the moment I'm doing something a bit different than reading books, I'm about midways of writing a book. Yup, that is what I've been doing while being away, besides dating as a newish single girl/woman :lol: I go to local BC-meetings and try to wild release now and then. And lurke...

Curious Posts: 4 Group: Members Member #662 Joined: June 1, 2007	Helloooo! I'm new this very hour. I was just looking for BookRelay and was very surprised to see that it's retired. Obviously, I wasn't very active there - my obsessions come in waves. Luckily, I was directed here, and now I can feed my book/trade/forum obsession. I'm not very active on the BC Forums because I have a very low threshold for the drama and the trolls, and I can't help but click to read, and then I get all worked up. It's just easier if I avoid for the most part, I guess. I'm also known as macdonv on BC. I live in Windsor, Ontario, and work at Casino Windsor (Caesar's Windsor, come 2008), in Security. It pays the bills, and keeps me in books. Glad to meet you all!

Extremely Obsessed Posts: 969 Group: Members Member #659 Joined: June 1, 2007	Hello, I'm new as well and thought I'd make an introduction. I recently saw this site mentioned on the BC forums, which I don't frequent very often for some of the same reasons that macdonv mentions. After checking this site out, it seems much more user-friendly and friendly. I am intrigued by your swaps and hope to join in on one soon. sejent is also my BC name I look forward to getting to know everyone. :waves:
