Latest Review: "Strong Heart" by Charlie Sheldon

Heyo!

Post by masterhawk88 »

Hello everyone. I'm new to reviewing books, but as a voracious reader with nearly 4,000 books read in my lifetime (around 6k if I include short stories) I'm thinking I'll be able to give objective and clear reviews.

I'm a huge fan of fantasy books, modern, historical, other worldly, all of it. I'm a fan of some scifi, but a lot of it actually annoys me. If you break physics you might as well write a fantasy book in my mind.
Mysteries are another love, and I deplore horror.

Hope to make some new book loving friends, and add more stories to my library I'd have never found on my own.

A lot of that was bordem as a kid. Because of a birth defect I was never able to handle being as physically active as other kids, so I'd read instead. I read the entirety of the fiction section in my high school's library, save a few books that were so poorly written I couldn't stand to read them.

I'm sorry to hear about your birth defect but the positive in the situation is that it helped you to develop a love for reading!

By choice, I surrounded myself with books and fictional characters more than actual people. My number is probably around 2,000-2,500. A lot of the books I'm counting are ones that were read to me as a child or ones I read during lunchtime at school.
