Former Lurker, Now Virgulina

Virgulina · Post by **Virgulina** » Tue August 26th, 2008, 5:06 pm

I mostly lurked before, never got around to posting, now I decided to step out of the shadows and introduce myself.

My name is Ana and I'm a Portuguese bookworm, I tend to be very eclectic in my readings, usually only shying away from sci-fi. I have an enormous TBR pile (I'm not revealing numbers!

) and you lot are responsible for some of my latest additions, so keep up the good work!

I usually blog here, not as often as I'd like though, sometimes I get too lazy!

So that's me!
Ana

Welcome back and so glad you've decided to post! I'm varied in reading tastes as well. Sci-fi world building isn't for me too much, but I love the horror/paranormal genre. I leave true crime alone, but enjoy forensic thrillers. And I could go on with others, but won't.

Paranormals are my latest addiction, I've recently discovered Patricia Briggs, Nalini Singh, J. R. Ward and others. In the sci-fi romance area I've heard that Linnea Sinclair is worth your time but although I have two of her books in my TBR, I've yet to try them.

Thanks for the welcome!

My avatar was done by a talented friend, she used the work of William-Adolphe Bouguereau, she also did my blog header.

I didn't think I knew who you were, but I read your blog. I just am not the best with commenting... Anyways, I noticed you read Patricia Briggs and thought that was great! She's one of my favourite authors!

I've read the first two Mercy Thompson books and have the third one waiting, I want to finish this before I start with Anna and Charles but am very curious about this new series, it seems to be getting rave reviews.
Oh and I usually visit your blog too!

Cry Wolf is on its way to me this week! I am not sure I am going to like it as much as Mercy, but I am still looking forward to it. I thought I preordered it and could kick myself because it turns out I didn't! It will be next year before I get more from the other series, though, so I have to make do!
