It's one of those platforms where I get to explore worlds that people have created which is awesome! I enjoy reading, especially fantasy, sci-fi, basically anything that doesn't have to do with the laws of the real world. If it's one thing that people need, it's the status of where they are as a writer and genuine feedback. That's what I want at least. And what better way to do that than by making a review book-thing. Dive in and see what's up and required This is completely complimentary so nothing to it. But I'd like to shamelessly plug my book 'Shadow Bands' in here. Check it out and see if you like it, give me a review of your own.
