Hello everybody,
I'm a bit lost here, coming from "traditional" social platforms. I have no idea how this works and to top it all I'm also too shy to enter people's conversations.So let me introduce myself: I'm a Romanian artist, I paint in oil and acrylic. I am also a voracious reader, always on the lookout for new books. I enjoy most of all historical ones - fiction and non fiction, classic literature is my comfort food, yet I'll not refuse a good mystery or thriller.
@LitteRatty Welcome to Mastodon!

@LitteRatty welcome and aloha from Hawai'i Island
My book recommendation is: "morality play" by Barry Unsworth. I don't read a lot of historical fiction, but I really loved this book.

@LitteRatty hello and welcome! Lots of good advice in the thread! Following hashtags around subjects that interest you is a good way to find your people - # art # books # AmReading # history # bookstodon, and so on. Follow lots of tags and people to start with to populate your feed, you can always unfollow later. A top tip is to follow the marvellous @lisamelton, who will fill your timeline with a vast range of boosts. Hope you enjoy it here!
@mothninja Thank you so much for the recommendation.

@LitteRatty you may also want to look into installing the StreetPass extension for your browser: it's a thingie that lets you know when a web page has metadata that declares an associated Mastodon / Fediverse profile and keeps a list of all the profiles discovered like this, it's another way to find interesting accounts here

Would love tot see your art
Concerning books, have you read those by Guy Gavriel Kay? Fantasy based on history, I think they're great.@suzannespirit Hello, nice to meet you! I'm still trying to figure out the community rules, so I don't know yet if it posting some art from time to time would be acceptable. Anyway, I invite you to visit my website
https://manufineart.com/ , I'm honored and delighted by your interest.I haven't read any of Guy Gabriel Kay's books, but I'm adding his name on my list and will research him in a moment.

@LitteRatty
Welcome to the Fedi! One way to meet people is browsing the #introduction tag and spreading the welcome love to other new folks. That helped me overcome my shyness here. -
@Christo_459 thank you, will explore that.

@HollieK72 thank you, it's encouraging to see that others had the same experience (and survived
)
