Hi Everyone,

I am Daisy and I live in a rural northern suburb of Dallas, TX. I am a working mother of DS (7) and DD (4).

I am a web based training designer for a large mortgage banking company.

My DH is a full time stay at home dad, and retired from the US Air Force.

We met and married when we were both stationed in San Antonio, TX - both in the Air Force.

I have always loved to read. As a child I had few friends, and reading was something I could escape in.

My husband isn't much of a reader, but we are teaching our children to be.

I don't want yet another item to add to my calendar, so I thought an online group of reading enthusiasts would be good.

I like a wide variety of books, and I had no interest in celebrity book clubs.

Thanks for allowing me to be a part of your group. I hope to be a good contributor.

~Daisy Smile

Bon Jour, Ophelia.

I know just enough French to be dangerous. LOL

Just wanted to pop back and say that the 10 post rule isn't a bad one. I would've reached it earlier had it not been for a family emergency.

So, now I'm back and raring to go on at least Walden. I'll have to see with the fiction, but it sounds interesting.

Hopefully I will have 25 posts soon so I may win a book, but work just gave me another 200 gift certificate to BarnesandNoble, so that will be fun too.

Nice to get to know folks.

Best,
Daisy

I'm just finding my way around here myself!

It's a busy group here. Shouldn't be too hard to work our way up to 25 posts, I think.

Have Fun!

Nice to meet you, Daisy. Smile

Welcome to BookTalk. I'm glad you don't find the 25+ post requirement too challenging. It isn't meant as a challenge, but as a means to keep the book polls honest.
