about me

I'm 18 and I love reading and writing, I also love drawing, listening to music, and generally being weird and eccentric at the most inappropriate times.. (The usual)

I would love more than anything to be a writer, mainly the idea of sharing a world of my design with everyone else, although I honestly can't see it happening.

I use this site to fuel my blatant reading addiction whenever I get the chance. Which inevitably makes me want to write my own story, so all the hours I waste writing are officially blamed on you guys with your inspirational books.

favourite books

I mainly read YA, fantasy, unrealistic, completely bonkers kind of things, in fact the more mental the author appears to be the more I usually enjoy the book, or even if it just has lot's of bad guys and dark humour. Oh and sarcasm, lots and lots of sarcasm.
My favourite books are by far the ones with anti-hero's or just really dark main characters.

I'm quite happy to read and rate your manuscript, and at least tell you what I think of it even if I don't back it. Please don't send me more than one request for the same book, or 'reminders' they irritate me, if its taking me a while to read your manuscript then I probably just haven't gotten to it yet I don't often ignore requests they just take a while to get to.

Also lastly while I will read and rate almost anything I simply won't read two genres no matter how well you pitch them to me because they bore me.
DON'T ask me to read little kids books, books with blind mice, women in towers with ridiculously long hair-extensions, or tarts shacked up with 7 short men. Occasionally I make an exception, but not too often. There is a difference between being immature and being just plain creepy.
Secondly DON'T ask me to read your autobiography, or the biography of your hero, favourite pet, uncle Bob, best friend Todd, or any other inspirational/heart-warming things like that. Life's too short.

So yeah, those are my two hated genres, I hope you take the time to read this because receiving those kinds of requests makes the vain in my forehead explode.

I'm really glad I read this now, its wonderfully dark, and its definitely getting backed. The ending is definitely one of the first conclusions you jump to(I suppose it depends on the readers mind set), although you never really know if your right until you get to the end anyway so its irrelevant... view book

read the first chapter going to read the rest when I get the time, probably on the weekend. I like the way the characters start to build up, everybody knows a Lucinda character personalities are great, Lucinda reminds me of my sister, she's a giant pain in the ass too. I read a couple of comment... view book

Like the first page, everything in the beginning with the car chase and all that seemed to be all over and dealt with way too fast, and were it says, "good luck making your evidence to stick in court," shouldn't you either change the "making" to "getting" or simply remove the "to". Also in the inte... view book

Just finished reading this and it does have the potential to be a book, although at the moment it feels like I'm reading a first draft. The story line is interesting and you feel like you have to finish the whole thing, you have to find out the ending. I think what's really holding this manuscript ... view book
