We're Glad You Could Join Us!

Please join me in welcoming Do-Hee to BookBlog!

Until recently, Do-Hee was a graduate student studying linguistics at the University of Toronto. After burning out on nine straight years of post-secondary education, she’s back with mom and dad in a suburb of Seoul, which she calls "the Anaheim of Korea." She’s now getting some well-deserved rest and earning her keep by teaching English.

As an avid book lover (some of her faves include Dorothy Sayers, C.S. Lewis, E.M. Forster, and Jane Austen), Do-Hee found us because she was looking for people with whom to discuss the many books she now has the time to read. She was also impressed by the fact that our members are not shy when it comes to disliking a book and aren’t afraid to put it down if they’re not feeling a particular title. (Um, did anyone finish Don Quixote?) I have a feeling she’s going to fit right in here.

Welcome, Do-Hee!

Hey, Do-Hee. Welcome aboard. Hopefully we'll be able to live up to your impressions of us. Our Don Quixote efforts aren't typical. I think the reasons Sarah cited in her previous post -- except for the part about her being a bad moderator, because she rocks -- all conspired to work against the book, so it's a bad example. Anyway, I'll look forward to your contributions as we head into "Revenge."

Hi Do-Hee! Welcome to the BookBlog. Mary has done a great job with organizing and running it. I know you will enjoy being here!
: - )

Ho-Dee, hello! New blood is always welcome!

Hello Do-Hee. Well hello Do-Hee. It's so nice to have you here where you belong. You're lookin swell, Ho-Dee. We can tell, Ho-Dee.

And Mary...was the quote up top a subtle scolding to us..."books have to be read, it is the only way of discovering what they contain." Certainly fits our past month's success rate.

Welcome aboard. I don't suppose you read Don Quixote, did you?

Welcome Do-Hee!

Welcome, Do-Hee! Hope your "rest" is productive and helpful!
