So, wow.
There are a lot of y'all reading this blog.
I'm figuring it's time for one of those periodic getting-to-know-you posts. So if you'd like to introduce yourself, or you'd like to ask a question (any question, although I reserve the right not to answer), here's a superlative spot to do it at.
This is not a pressure-y kind of thing. Only an invitation.
And I'll reiterate a couple of things:
1. I almost never add people reciprocally. Because, well, I have 25 people on my reading list right now, and that's almost too many. There are many people whom I like and admire whose blogs I don't read. Apparently, I just need that processing power for something else.
2. I only reply to comments if I actually have something to say. However, I read all comments, and I am always, always grateful for them. (N.b., excluding the occasional and inevitable troll.) I forget to say that a lot, because sometimes I'm kind of a rotten excuse for a human being. But I'm definitely reading and interested.
So here. The lines are open and you're on the air.

I'm Amanda, and don't speak Japanese, despite what my lj name makes people think. I'm 25, live in Australia and work in a bookstore where i'm desperately trying to convince our suppliers to put your book up on one of their lists. I manage the Sci-Fi/Fantasy section (and Computers, what the?), so i get to read brilliant things and call it working. This makes me incredibly happy.
I also read a lot of big chunky textbooks, because i'm doing a degree in Ancient History. They're less fun to read, but useful for whacking people upside the head with.
I only just found your lj (through the same girl i found your books through) - i will be one of those people who will post many comments, but won't have a tantrum if i don't get a reply. It's good to know they're being read though.
And that's enough about me. It's nice to (kind of) meet you. :)
