New member saying hello.
My name is Henry Peterson (it's actually not as I'm Dutch but it is a pretty accurate Anglicization).
I received an e-mail suggesting that I check out this community as I am an avid reader and reviewer. So here I am, doing just that. I remember the very first time I came across a new author who wrote so well that I felt blessed to have discovered him. That author was Anthony Ryan and the title of the book was "Blood Song". Of course new authors don't often turn out diamonds on their very first attempt and that's okay too. It's finding those rare diamonds that makes it worth it to drudge through the sludge. I look forward to seeing what diamonds might be discovered here.
Happy reading!

Thank you for sharing your story.
This is a site for bibliophiles, so you are in the right place if books make your day. There are review opportunities, too. If you'd check out the helpful information that Gali gave, you'd be off to a good start here.
Welcome to the club! All the best.
