Hi everyone, Introductions are always awkward and a little like an AA meeting but anyway, my name is Laurel, I'm 23 born from the United States. I've read the books, some of them twice and working my way through them again. Always amazed how much I have missed and really love the forum as a way to learn and understand all the little pieces that Martin puts in there. Anyway, really looking forward to get to know everone.
