Gee, I don't sign in for a couple of days and look what happens :D .

[quote=""MLE""]Hi Jenny! I like Tudor, but I spread out around the globe from there -- anything renaissance![/quote]

Hi, MLE,

I will probably get there as I feel my interests wandering a lot more towards Europe lately, like I want the big picture with ALL the gossip, but for now, I'm just finding my way slowly through obvious connections :) .


[quote=""Divia""]Welcome. Post early and often. :) [/quote]

Thanks for the warning Divia! I'll just have to make sure life doesn't interfere with my online time in future :p .

[quote=""LoveHistory""]Pleased to make your acquaintance, Jenny. I see you're reading The Scarlet Pimpernel. I loved that one.[/quote]

Hi LoveHistory,

Pleased to meet you too. And yes, TSP is quite a fun read :) .


[quote=""Anna Elliott""]Hi Jenny! So nice to meet you and welcome to the forum! Like LoveHistory, I'm also a huge Scarlet Pimpernel fan! :) [/quote]

Hi Anna,

Thanks for the welcome! I've been interested in The Scarlet Pimpernel for a while (loved the Richard E. Grant TV series) so thought it was about time I read it!


[quote=""Miss Moppet""]Welcome Jenny! I like the Tudors too especially books about Anne Boleyn or Catherine Howard. I don't believe I've ever read The Scarlet Pimpernel, only seen the films. I believe I do have it upstairs though, inherited from an aunt, so it should go on the TBR pile![/quote]

Hi Miss Moppet,

I'll read anything remotely Tudor, which is not always a good thing :p .

I finally started reading TSP because someone gave The Secret History of the Pink Carnation by Lauren Willig for Christmas, and although it wasn't bad, it wasn't great either and more than a little frivolous, so I thought it was about time to read the original. I've been meaning to quite literally for years!

Hi Madeline,

I'm starting to read more Medieval stuff lately too.

And I can see I'm going to have fun here. What a nice, friendly bunch of people :) .

[quote=""Jemidar""]Thanks for the welcome Susan!

You do know it's because of you that I'm here, don't you? I found the link on your website...along with lots of other interesting stuff.

And BTW, I loved The Traitors Wife and now have Hugh & Bess on order :) .
