Hi! I am Bricta. Please enjoy these sentences that I have concocted half way through my morning coffee.

Who is your favorite character in The Wheel of Time and why?

I'm currently doing a re-read of the first few books and so far my favorite character is Perrin. Not only because I can't remember the names of any others, but he is the most grounded and annoys me the least.

How did you find TarValon.Net?

I actually had heard about this place a long time ago at another forum I frequented for a different series. As I mentioned before, I'm re-reading the first few books. The furthest I have made it in the series is book 3 or 4, but I want to finish. So much time has passed since I was originally reading, that I need to start from the beginning because I can't remember what was happening. The faint memory of the name of this place was bouncing around in my head, so I figured why not join in hopes of keeping up my momentum to get all the way through the books.

What do you do? (student? job? hobbies?)

I work at a grocery store, but my passion is fiber arts. I knit, spin, crochet, and dabble in anything I can get my mitts on.

Where are you from? What languages do you speak?

I am from Maine, USA. I speak english primarily. I also have a working knowledge of German and Russian left over from when I studied in university, and a little bit of Spanish. I am a huge language nerd. If I could knit, read, and learn languages as my day job I 100% would.

Have you seen Wheel of Time on Prime? Did you enjoy the show?

I have watched 20 minutes of episode 1. A coworker who has read the series mentioned that they move pretty quickly through some of the books in the first season and I didn't want any spoilers. Again-- another motivator to get the series finished.

What is your favorite book or author other than Robert Jordan and The Wheel of Time?


I love Brandon Sanderson so much. His work always pulls me in and there is always a secret or mystery to be solved.

Welcome. The series is definitely worth finishing. I think you will enjoy the Brandon Sanderson written ending to the series if you like BS writing.

Hey welcome!! TVN has a lot of various fiber artists and sewist-type folk you'll fit right in! I love another Perrin lover, we need more of them. If you have questions, most folk are open to messages and I definitely am if you need any help navigating the forums.

Welcome! You will find lots of other fiber artists here. Several of my Yellow siblings are knitters and crocheters. I’m into cross stitching, myself. Our crafting thread in the Discord is very active! :)

And he always puts that secret right out there in the open :desk: I can't tell you how many times I've reread his books and discovered that he had already basically TOLD his readers about some huge revelation that comes into play later.

Welcome to Tarvalon.net!

Hello and welcome, Bricta! Fellow language nerd here. Honestly, if I could have any superpower (besides healing), it would be to speak, read, write, and completely comprehend every known and invented language from past, present, and future.

Hello and Welcome and LOL. I have often found my mouth words emerging in the wrong order and been unable to stop them, so I am entirely with you on the regurgitation problems. Thank you for a good wholesome laugh. I think you'll enjoy it here.

To be honest, when I chose to be a foreign language major, the goal was to have a wider variety of books to read. Did it work? Not really, because it turns out if you don’t use what you learn you lose it. 😝

BUT— it was a hell of a ride.

Welcome! I was stationed in Maine for 2 years and LOVED it. It is the one place my wife said I could take orders to without talking to her and she would be happy!
