I'm a completely blind reader of LitRPG, progression fantasy, science fiction, fantasy, and some nonfiction. Interact with me @fastfinge@iceshrimp.social as well as here.

Some important warnings:

Some of the content creators I enjoy publish exclusively to Kindle Unlimited or Audible Originals. I choose to support the creators I enjoy, rather than boycott Amazon. If you don't want to see Kindle or Audible Books, you may want to avoid my profile.
I don't agree with the views of some of the authors I read, or support some of the political views contained in the books I consume. I rate books based exclusively on my enjoyment of the story.
Some of the books I read contain adult material, that may include, but is not limited to, sexual activity, violence, harems, reverse harems, FFM, F/M, and F/F. I will do my best to warn about this material using the tools bookwyrm provides, so that those who don't want this content can avoid it.
I believe that audiobooks and ebooks are reading, in every way equal to printed hardcover books. If you do not, your engagement is unwelcome.

fastfinge reviewed Ponyville Confidential by Sherilyn Connelly

Review of 'Ponyville Confidential' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

This book says many of the things I've ranted about myself over the last couple years, but says them more eloquently and with more research than I would or could. I'll admit one part probably does slog a bit towards the end, but reading someone else extensively rewrite opinions I already agree with really doesn't bother me much. Though if you're not generally interested in the subject matter, I can understand how your eyes would glaze. However, if you're at all interested in the unfair media coverage "girls" shows are subjected to, the history of the various Pony incarnations, or some of the drama that has gone on in the MLP fan community (or just want something a bit deeper than "Wow, bronies. Huh."), I'd strongly recommend this book.
