So, hi.
I've wanted to start a blog for a while and have gone back and forth about whether anyone would want to read the ramblings of a 24 year old, ADHD dyslexic let alone if anyone would be able to decipher my spelling. But there's spell check and 7 billion people on this planet; someone will find my amusing. So here I am.
Hi.
The main reason I started this blog, or really the fire that burned my ass, was the fact the I don't read, or at least not as much as I used to. I, being dyslexic, can find it difficult to read. Combine that with my ADHD and I have little patience to sit and re-read the same sentence 3 three times until it makes sense. That being said, I get distracted with audio books. So I have decided to challenge myself. Last year a friend of mine read and reviewed over 100 books, and challenges herself to read 60 new books and at least 60 re-reads this year. I, being not quite so ambitious, have chosen a humble 12 books, with 6 of them being new.
So I will be reviewing books. I will give you the author and a quick over view (of course). As well as a rating:
* (burn it)
**(eh. . .NMCT not my cup of tea)
*** (pretty good)
****(really good)
***** (Awesome-sauce)
Please feel free to leave me constructive criticism and give your own review in the comments!
Until Next Time!

Nice, thoughtful points, and well articulated. :)
ReplyDeleteFormat suggestion, though: find places to split your review into smaller sections. Most people are going to see a block of text that big and stop reading, not because it isn't well-written, but because their brains shut down.
