Hello Saffron,

I'm not going to answer your post, but I'd like to welcome you to Booktalk.

I'm glad you've found us and plunged straight into a discussion,
that's great.

Would you like to tell us a little about yourself by writing an introduction in the "Introduce Yourself" threads?

See you later!
