He struggled with reading comprehension as a kid but realized reading could be fun thanks to Goosebumps books during his childhood in the 1990s. The covers drew him like a moth to a flame at the scholastic book fairs.

In his mid 20s he decided to really get into reading and become an avid reader like he always wanted to but thought he couldn't. And he did, with practice.

He'd always written stories, including a lot of stories about his sims (Sims 2 and 3). He feels a calling in his soul to write and tell stories but was scared to follow his

The Martian by Andy Weir
"The Martian is a rare sci-fi survival story that manages to be tense, smart and laugh-out-loud funny. Andy Weir takes a life-or-death situation—an astronaut stranded alone on Mars—and filters it through the relentlessly sarcastic voice of Mark Watney" Read more of this review »

Scott Holstad Thanks for accepting my friend request. I'll look forward to browsing through your library more thoroughly. If you ever glance at my bookshelves, you may notice that like you, I have diverse interests, so I'm open to recommendations. (However it usually takes awhile to get to new books because I read way too many at the same time. Bad habit.) Have a good day. -- Scott

*Waves back* Thank you! I love LGBTQIA+ books especially because I am a part of the community so they have an extra special place in my heart. And I read all over the place genre-wise. It does seem interesting and I hadn't heard of it, so thank you! :)

Ami Morrison *Waves* Hello! :3 I saw that you like LGBTQIA+ stories. I've been trying to get a little bit more diversity (gender, culture, ethnic, and or LGBTQIA+ titles and authors) my bookshelves and I ran across an interesting looking book that you might like? I haven't read it yet, but it sounds like it could be pretty fun. Non-horror. Not really sure what genre it is? It sounds like just an eccentric family story with lots of weirdness and secrets. It's called Mostly Dead Things by Kristen Arnett. It comes out in June. I'm really looking forward to reading it.

✌ Rob ☮

The Wolf Moon on the Night between 1 and 2 January 2018 is a Supermoon.
The following Full Moon is also in January, on the 31. It has no given name,
which makes it a Blue Moon. However, this particular Blue Moon will likely look red in some areas, because it will cause a total lunar eclipse, also known as a Blood Moon.

Rob “Maybe there's a whole other universe where a square moon rises in the sky, and the stars laugh in cold voices, and some of the triangles have four sides, and some have five, and some have five raised to the fifth power of sides. In this universe there might grow roses which sing. Everything leads to everything.”
― Stephen King

“We can complain because rose bushes have thorns, or rejoice because thorns have roses.”
― Alphonse Karr, A Tour Round My Garden
