I just joined a few weeks ago, and I'm happy I finally took a look around. What a great place for writers--and readers!

I also wanted to give a shout out to someone who gifted me a Basic membership a couple days ago, Justin Lee Simes. What a neat surprise that was. He also let me know about the Random Read button, and boy...I can't stop clicking.

Thanks a bunch for the warm welcome to new folks around here; it defintely makes this enormous site a little less intimidating.
