Hello from Ariadne

Post by Ariadne » Tue August 26th, 2008, 9:32 pm

I'm not sure if I ever formally introduced myself on the old board, but my name here is the same as before. I've been using Ariadne as a handle for a long time and have gotten used to it. I'm also Ariadne02 on Librarything.


I've been reading historical fiction for about 20 years. I read all eras, all locales with a slight preference for medieval England, colonial America, and anything royalty-related. Though I'm originally from Connecticut, my husband and I moved out to middle-of-nowhere, Illinois, in 2002 so I could take a job as reference/electronic resources librarian at a local university.


Looking forward to participating more on this new board!

I'm a little dense, I guess. It took me a while to realize that "Ariadne" on the old board was you! I remember the "a-ha!" moment. I love the name, though. :)

Thanks, Julianne!

I wish I remember where I found the image for my old avatar. Can't find it on my PC anymore, so this one will have to do for now.

Hi Ariadne, glad you're back! I live in Chicago, but unfortunately have no idea where Charleston IL is :s

Thanks! I hadn't heard of Charleston before I moved out here. It's a rural university town. If you head south on I-57 and drive for three hours, you'll run right into it :D
