Hello!

I just wanted to introduce myself! I'm a longtime reader, but just dipping my toes into the online community. I first started reading the books in 1997, while recovering from surgery. Currently on my 3rd re-read of the series.

Looking forward to getting to know you all & having some great discussions! :-)

Welcome to TarValon, Cassie!!

What brought you to us?

A question about you: are you native to Scotland?

How'd I come to be here? The site came recommended by a member of the WoT FB I'm in.

Am I Scottish? Yep- born and bred. Specifically, I'm from the south west coast

I love how Hopper is in this list. :giggle He's an awesome character. :D I agree, though, there are so many characters, it's hard to pick just one! :rofl

My top three favorites are Perrin, Siuan, and Aviendha.

The Shadow Rising. Though an honourable mention goes to A Memory of Light - the conclusion that, at one point, seemed it may never happen after the passing of RJ.

Imagine that, we might be cousins! I hope to travel to Scotland someday to see my ancestral home. Oh, and finally try deep-fried pizza, maybe stop in Glasgow for a nice tracksuit*, that sort of thing

Oh, that too, but I'm very keen on pizza. :D I've recently learned that deep fried butter exists. :brown-blink: Why under the light would anyone want to eat that? Butter is nice and everything, but that's taking things a bit too far. A sure sign of the approach of Tarmon Gai'don.
