Welcome, Olga! Looking forward to reading your posts. And don’t worry about Wales, he’s really nice – a pussy-cat! I do share his disdain of she-who-must-not-be-named, 'though.

Welcome Olga! I had no intention of making you think that I wanted to “pummel” you. I didn't know this forum was here until I looked at other categories. I also had no idea that you sell books, and am a little envious, because that was and is something that I've always longed to do.

Thank you also, Impish_Impulse, for sticking up for me. It's just that anything having to do with she-who-must-not-be-named is disdainful to me. Olga has taught me to read and look before I post, and I MUST remember that any writer, especially one who sells as well as don't-let-me-name-her, does and in fact bring people to interest in Anne Boleyn, Tudor history is not all bad.

I want to WELCOME Olga! What asset! Thank you very much.

I was a librarian at one point before becoming a corporate executive in charge of the licensing and accreditation for 21 colleges and universities in 18 different states. I love being a librarian, and we are mostly very poor as well, and I didn't want to leave the profession (although evaluating libraries for compliance purposes gave me an edge, and still let me be part of them). So I know about what you are speaking. I dream about being a bookseller anyway. I don't know why, but it is a different way of satisfying customers, and I don't know how you pick your collections, but I'm sure it is far different that that of libraries.

I joined this discussion group by accident, and love it! It was introduced to me by a former member of Tudor Wiki, of which I voluntarliy left. I had sworn I would never join another one again. But Claire and all the others on here have made it most enjoyable.

So, once again, welcome!

Hi Olga and welcome. I hope you enjoy yourself here.
