I’ve been on GoodReads like off and on all day going through and making my list for my 2020 challenge, rating books I’ve read in the past, and compiling recommendations from people. It’s something I should have done a long time ago but I’m gonna make the conscious decision this year to read more books and pick back up a hobby that I love and wish I’d never dropped, much like I started writing last year after years of not doing it. 

(as an aside, please read Fool by Christopher Moore because I was reminded of it today and forgot how much I love it and I can’t believe it’s been like 10 years since I read it, and in high school no less)

so I went to go rate The Awakening by Kate Chopin (another high school read that I still love) and noticed a lot of one star reviews. And lemme just say, that while there are some legit criticisms of the book, any one star review should just be tossed out the window and not counted because half of them are from men and the other half are from misogynistic women. It’s funny how that hasn’t changed one bit since I saw the same types of people in my class say the same things these reviews are saying. 

anyway if you wanna add me on GoodReads or just gimme recommendations here please feel free. I’m into just about anything except erotica (but sex scenes in other books don’t deter me, so don’t worry about that), but mainly like to stick to thrillers, suspense (not exactly horror but I’m willing to try), crime, and action/adventure.
