Intro/ re-intro thread
Howdy and welcome to books board. We like to think of the board as a community of like minded folk. So wanted to start a thread so that folks could intro or reintro themselves.
So how about a classic quick poll: Name: Age: Gender: Hobbies/Interests/Obsessions: If you were stranded on a desert island what three books would you take with you? What is your favorite genre of book? Favorite Book series? Favorite Character? ETA by Kim Hello since we merged the threads I thought I would put the birthday list at the top of here too Quote:
