[quote=""zsigandr""]Hi and welcome,

I myself am new too! I am an avid reader of Historical Fiction and thought that this would be a great way to find books that I have never read.[/quote]

Welcome, zsigandr! Feel free to start a thread introducing yourself.

Right - you have been a longtime lurker! I'm so glad you introduced yourself. I discovered the old forum in August 2007, and joined on the very same day because I saw the other Katherine 'lovers'. I had to speak up right then and there. Seton got me into the genre and I haven't strayed far.

Hope you have fun and please post often!
