Pleased to be here!

Hello! My name is, Riley (of the feminine variety), I'm a 20 year old full-time student and part-time slave of the retail trade--everyone needs to eat, including me. I inadvertently stumbled across the forums whilst web sur...*clears throat*...whilst diligently studying...researching...*nods*..yeah that's it, researching. :wink:

I thought I'd take a moment or two to take a peek around...until I found with each passing day a "moment or two" had grown into a time period of more significance. Finally that thought that had been nagging in the back of my mind, the thought that I tried so desperately hard to bury in the deepest depth of my cerebrum came bursting forth with a crystalline realisation...I'm a lurker...

...I thought it past due when I should stop my shameful lurking ways, come out of the woodwork and register; bringing me here where I can publicly acknowledge my past bad habit and start the process of reformation by firstly making my presence known and secondly participating.

On a more serious note--I am impressed with the conversation here; great posts from a variety of posters and a wide range of discussion points. A truly delightful forum. :)

I am a voracious reader, and have an eclectic taste in literature-fiction, non-fiction, classics, science fiction, thrillers, fantasy etc. Eagerness is mine to broaden my literary horizons, and have already noted down several titles (that have come recommended through the enthusiastic words of fellow posters) during my exploration of the forum.

Looking forward to the discussions and getting to know everyone. :D

Hello Riley ! :D I'm Star, I was a weebit of a lurker myself...but I'm just a lurker in general..(curious observer of life if you will) 8) I'm a voracious beast of a reader myself. :) Indeed!! Looking forward to expanding those "literary horizons" with you :wink: Should be fun! :P
