About this author

Don't worry! I'm pretty impossible to offend. I am actually known to be offensive... so I've been trying to work on it, but what you said was just honesty.

And my reviews tend to be lots of "......" and imcomprehensible thoughts! I have shelves that are labled "author should be kicked in their..." or "literary orgasam." Therfore I am not one to judge another's reviews. lol!!

Thanks for freinding me! I already see we're going to have fun reading this 2012!

JK I'm sorry if I offended you at all about that survey thing... sometimes I'm a bit too critical with things.

Anywho, I'm not sure my reviews are all that interesting. They're a fair bit inconsistent when it comes to format and topic. I don't really write my reviews with a specific purpose in mind so they come off as... half thought out maybe?
