message 1: by Bill (new)

Bill FromPA (bill_from_pa) | 1791 comments I've set up this topic to help clarify our Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ vs. TLS identities, as an (hopefully) easy-to-reference directory to Who's Who.

Here I'm Bill from PA, I was Swelter on TLS.


Shelflife_wasBooklooker Hello Swelter/ Bill,

great idea!
Over at Guardian TLS, I used to be booklooker. Not difficult to guess at the moment, but I might change to just "Shelflife" later.

You used to be 'Bill from PA', but you seem to have morphed to just plain Bill.

AlbyBeliever | 72 comments Great idea! Here I’m AlbyBeliever, I was Rick2016 on TLS.

Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ seems to enforce a certain informality. I registered with "Bill" as my first name and "FromPA" as my last name. Still, "Bill" is preferable to "Mr. FromPA"


message 8: by Tom (new)

Tom Mooney | 6 comments I think it's fairly obvious who I am/was/will be


message 9: by MD (new)

MD (lbringasgarcia) I was MarGar there and I'm just me here: Lola.


message 10: by Paul (new)

Paul | 1 comments In days gone past, before a fit of asininity, I was Webber Expat and I then respawned at the last save point as PaulTheExile. Now, the anonymity is shed. I feel naked. Pictures to follow


message 11: by Pete (new)

Pete Bowler | 8 comments Was FatBuddha1, not sure what or who I am here, Pete, I think

I am Pam


message 13: by Simplicity (new)

Simplicity Drifter | 4 comments I am still Simplicity Drifter, a name I chose quickly from a random user-name generator and may as well stick with


message 14: by Alan (new)

Alan (alantwelve) | 7 comments Hi Bill, everyone. I'm the poster formerly known as aldopaulista. I'll try to be more communicative here...


message 15: by Hushpuppy (last edited Oct 26, 2020 04:39PM) (new)

Hushpuppy Hmmm, do I need to make it clear who I am? :-) Although I could be a different person from the 'gladarvor' on TLS now that I think of it... y'all just have to trust me!


message 16: by Veufveuve (new)

Veufveuve | 234 comments Veufveuve there and Veufveuve here. But as others seem to be doing, I might as well partially out myself. I'm Andrew.

Thanks, Bill, it is really helpful


message 21: by Reen (new)

Reen | 257 comments Hi all, Reen ... reenimus that was, glad to ditch the "imus". Thanks to all who are trying to set us up in our new digs. Still navigating...


message 22: by Toril (new)

Toril (dellamor) | 17 comments THANKS for setting up this group on GR. Getting lost in what’s what and where... Testing, testing....


message 23: by Bouvier4 (new)

Bouvier4 | 2 comments I was a TLS lurker. Thanks for setting this group up.


message 24: by Toril (new)

Toril (dellamor) | 17 comments I’m Toril, usually lurking, occasionally appearing as Dellamor.


message 25: by Amelia (new)

Amelia (amelia_m) | 12 comments Thanks for setting this up!
I mostly lurked, and occaisonally commented, as Melia13. I'm sure you could never have guessed from my guardian username but:

Hi, I'm Amelia :)


message 26: by Hushpuppy (new)

Hushpuppy "Veufveuve there and Veufveuve here. But as others seem to be doing, I might as well partially out myself. I'm Andrew."

I'd love to out at least my first name, but it's really far too rare and would immediately show who I am. I might revisit my position, but for the time being, I'll stay glad(arvor)...

PS: I wonder how many people have seen that there is a 'who's who' discussion... I was not sure either how this worked yesterday and almost missed the 'TLS' one started by LL.

Hey come one, everyone knows your name is Gladys, Glad ;-)


message 28: by Slawkenbergius (new)

Slawkenbergius | 425 comments The poster formerly known as Captain_Flint (AKA Flinty AKA Varese AKA Vasco) is called Slawkenbergius on this other side of the freakin' mirror.


message 29: by Hushpuppy (new)

Hushpuppy Hey come on, everyone knows your name is Gladys, Glad ;-)

Meuh non, you know full well it's Cheryl (the one nice thing about GR is that it allows us to make edits, although this could be tricky too...).


message 30: by scarletnoir (last edited Oct 27, 2020 07:34AM) (new)

scarletnoir | 4411 comments scarletnoir here - just changed my ID on this service. Hope we can keep things rolling here, after a fashion...

Just had a look at my profile, with 359 books rated... take all that with a pinch of salt... when I signed up to GR in 2015, I rated a lot of books I had read in the past. It also seems that books rated on behalf of my mother (e.g. Dick Francis - who I have never read) ended up on my list, as I assume they passed through my Amazon account. Most of the books were read by me, though, and most of the ratings stand, more or less.


message 31: by JayZed (new)

JayZed | 9 comments Hi, I'm JayZed over on the Guardian, and here as well; also known as Josh.

I also sometimes post about books on Twitter as MrJoshTweets, but am currently on an extended Twitter break. Books Twitter is great, but it can be hard to avoid the toxic cesspool that is the rest of Twitter.


message 32: by Sandya (new)

Sandya Narayanswami Hi: I'm lorantffy over at the Graun. I already had a profile here under my real name, Sandya, and just couldn't be bothered to set up a new one..... Sometimes life is just too complicated. I don't have a Twitter account tho' I am on FB under my real name, and I have a LinkedIn profile.

Karen Fellows | 9 comments Hi there...ChronicExpat or CE there, Karen here.

The last two sentences make me feel... uneasy!

As they should, I have learned that hysterical pregnancy is not limited to the female half of the species


message 36: by Nickey (new)

Nickey (aztaki) | 1 comments Committed lurker here, sadly sloping over from TLS.

80 members! Wow!

CCCubbon | 2371 comments Toril wrote: "I’m Toril, usually lurking, occasionally appearing as Dellamor."

From beautiful Oslo, if I remember rightly.


message 38: by Toril (new)

Toril (dellamor) | 17 comments That’s correct, CCCubbon! Wonder when we’ll be able to see that beautiful city again... (pulling myself together). At the moment I’m in the far north of Norway though, in the second volume of the Roy Jacobsen quartet about the island of Barrøy. Wonderful writing, a perfect escape!


message 39: by CCCubbon (new)

CCCubbon | 2371 comments I have those books in my pile to read. We are unable still to get the Echoes second but Ihope that it will not be too long.
I posted a photo of Lincoln Cathedral on the Group photos because I love to see where people live and would delight in an Oslo one.


message 40: by AB76 (new)

AB76 | 6740 comments still dont know who Joy is, or was, on TLS

Hushpuppy AB76 wrote: "still dont know who Joy is, or was, on TLS"

I'm wondering too!


message 42: by Tally (new)

Tally Bear | 2 comments Was Tally Matrix on Graun. Just a bear here. Long time account, rarely used. Long time lurker on TLS/BG.
I have been inspired to read so many books through those pages - thank you all.


message 43: by Tats1 (last edited Oct 27, 2020 05:07PM) (new)

Tats1 | 1 comments I have found so many great books from you all on TLS not least Lonesome Dove. 90% lurked but posted occasionally under Tats1


message 44: by FranHunny (new)

FranHunny | 130 comments Haven't found a way to change my profile name, here as Silke, I have been franhunny on the Groaniad.


message 45: by Hazel (new)

Hazel Stones | 1 comments Hi, I did post a few times as urbinolilac way back but latterly stayed as a lurker. I gleaned a lot of books for my TBR pile and really enjoyed the posts about everyone's lives.


Gumble's Yard - Golden Reviewer I was not really a TLS participant but came across a number of you over the last three years in the Not The Booker reviews where I post as Mr Brown.

Hi fran, I *think* you just need to go to your Account Settings (if you click on the top right corner, on your non avatar) and change your first name there.

(PS: How irritating that you have to untick every single fucking time the 'Add to my Update Feed' box when you post a comment. Forgot a few times already, sheesh. If anybody knows of a way to disable that bloody thing by default, I'm all ears!)

Welcome Mr Brown. Watched your jury panel discuss the NtB on Monday (before all hell broke lose), it has put the three books that were championed on my radar, thank you all for that (Magrat, Katecha, Sam and you).


message 49: by Francis (new)

Francis Cousins | 35 comments Hello all, and thanks for setting this up!
I normally lurk with occasional posts as fowlerisgod on the G.


message 50: by Adina (new)

Adina | 7 comments (PS: How irritating that you have to untick every single fucking time the 'Add to my Update Feed' box when you post a comment. Forgot a few times already, sheesh. If anybody knows of a way to disable that bloody thing by default, I'm all ears!)."

I think you can go to Account settings, then the the tab marked Feeds and untick “Comment on a book or discussion�. Your comments should then no longer appear in your feed.

Also, nice to meet you all here. It's lovely to see so many familiar names. I’ve added comments very sporadically on TLS with the name AdinaB, but mostly just lurking and enjoying it from a distance. I'll try to write more here on GR.
