Hello!
Let me answer the questions the generous site owner has suggested. (I’m glad he’s done it. The introduction is always the hardest part for me.)
Where do you live?
I live in Chiang Mai, a province in the north of Thailand, a country in Southeast-Asia.
How old are you?
I’m turning 24 this October.
Are you a male or female?
I’m a female.
How did you find BookTalk?
I searched for “online book discussion reading group” on google.com.
What type of books do you enjoy the most?
What I enjoy reading are mostly novels and juvenile books, along with some poems. Do quotes and song lyrics count?
Well, I guess that’s all for now. I should have added more but this is just a start and to pay respect to the process the site owner has advised. Now I want to go right away to the discussion page. I will definitely come back and add more details later. All I wanted is to make sure I don’t skip the introductory thing. At least you all know I exist and mean to be a regular or frequent visitor, not a passer-by.
By the way, English is my second language. I hope you will excuse my inappropriate or incorrect use and advise if I make any wrong move.
It’s nice to meet you and wonderful to have found this place.
With a D.I.Y. bunch of flowers and a friendly smile,
Wid-Sha-Ya
Very Happy

Hello, admirer from Thailand, I'm so glad you joined! Smile

Ralphinlaos is going to be thrilled!


It's brave of you to come when English isn't your mother tongue, there are a few (very few yet) other members like you, so join the club: Clap 2
