"First, let me introduce you to yourself" (Beware RotE Spoilers)

[Farseer]

Hello from Germany to all Robin Hobb Fans !

And g’day from Australia, right back at you, finella - welcome to thePlenty!

I live in the countryside close to Hamburg, a northern german city together with my husband, 3 dogs and 2 pigs. And many, many books .

A branch of my husband’s family originally came from Hamburg, having sailed to Moreton Bay (here in Australia) on the Wandraham.

We have also had pigs as pets, a time or two!

Don't be annoyed, when I don't talk that much. It's still hard work for me to write in English, as it's quite some time ago, that I practised it.

Annoyed? Never! I think you’re simply AMAZING , especially as English is my native and ONLY language! I can't wait to hear from you when you can manage it - it's wonderful to have you here with us!

I always feel like I'm in an alcoholics anonymous whenever I type in these things, lol...

I know what you mean!

My (screen)name is Possessed,

Well met and welcome, Possessed!

...my main reason for joining these forums is that these books tend to be extremely complex at times, and I look forward to reading and discussing theories people might have on the books...

Yes, Robin's books are certainly complex! I love a good theory (and offer more than my fair share of strange ones ) , and discussions that include different perspectives and opinions are the best things about being here on thePlenty, I think - it's fantastic to have you join us!
