I live in this world everyday, so when I read I like to enter a different world. That being said, what gets me excited about a story is when an author can paint the world of their book so vividly that I can picture every aspect of it in my mind. I'm willing to overlook mediocre writing or shaky plots as long as the world-building is fantastic. Suck me into your world and you've got me till the end. Young Adult books are my guilty pleasures.

Certain ideas will inspire me to pick up a pen, but I've never had to seek out inspiration.(less)

I’m Allergic to Everything

Okay, not really, but when it comes to eating it doesn’t feel like I’m exaggerating by that much. It simply feels like I’m using incorrect terminology. If I’m going to perfectly accurate, I’m only allergic to the following foods:





BananasKiwiAvocadoPeppermint



If I eat any of those my throat gets itchy and starts to swell. Thankfully I’ve never found out if it swells all the way closed because there h

Kat Not a problem! What's your normal reading fair?


message 4: by Gavin

Gavin Thanks for the friend invite Kat. Outlander was a bit of a departure from my normal type of read, but I recall enjoying it well enough even if I never did pick up the second instalment of the series.

It's a difficult question. I have enjoyed most of the books, I have read lately.


message 2: by Kat
