Hi, everyone!
I'm Oana, from Bucuresti, Romania.
Looking forward to talking to you guys.

Welcome!. What do you enjoy reading?

Thx. All sort of things, but mostly historical fiction and fantasy.

Welcome to the forum Oana

Who are you favourite authors? I also enjoy the genres you have mentioned

What is Bucharest like as a place to live? I have only been there for the day (waiting for a flight)

Welcome, Oana Lovely to see you here

 

[elflady]

Thanks for your welcome.

I love Maurice Druon's "Accursed Kings" (Gee, Ice, I wish I could get to London and visit the Tower). Irving Stone (Agony and Ecstasy), Valerio Massimo Manfredi (Alexander, The Last Legion etc), Christian Jacq (the Ramses series etc), Paolo Monelli (Adventure in the First Century), James Clavell (Shogun, Gaijin etc), Eiji Yoshikawa (Musashi, Taiko), Sigrid Undset (Kristin Lavransdatter), Frans Bengtsson (The Vikings), Anne and Gerge Golon (the Angelique series), Henryk Sienkiewicz (Quo Vadis, Through fire and Sword etc - currently reading Teuton Knights). Whoops, if you get me started, I'll go on forever...
Fantasy - I've just finished Robert Jordan's Eye of the World, first part of the Wheel of Time series. I must say I'm a great LoTR fan.

As for Bucuresti, well, it's crowded, traffic is impossible, but there are also great places to see...
