Hi all!Thought I should finally get around to introducing myself, since I registered here a while back and then totally forgot I had done so. I was just reminded today when I got an email update.
I'm 29, from Ireland, and love to read. I have just finished up with a Bachelor of Arts degree, and since reading for that (I took English lit) took up most of my time over the last few years, I kind of missed out on reading for pleasure. I'm hoping to catch up on that now and join in some of the book group discussions.
Mostly I like autobiographies and memoirs, but I'm also interested in finding some good fiction. I've been reading some Jodi Picoult lately, which I've been enjoying.
That's me. See you all around!

Hi Penny and Welcome to BB! I also studied English lit and it was a novelty when I actually had time to choose books that I wanted to read rather than struggling with Moby Dick and Ulysses!

Welcome Penny - I am sure you will like it here! (I'm pretty new here as well, but people seem really nice!)
I applied and got accepted to studying litterature both at Aberdeen and Edinburgh university, but decided to study European Studies instead as I am not a big fan of reading because I have to - was probably a wise choice for me! (although have probably missed out on some good classics because of that choice)

A very warm welcome to you, Penny. I'm also a big Jodi Picoult fan. I hadn't even heard of her before I got addicted to online book clubs and I'm sure you'll get plenty of other ideas for books here.
