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:
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. I believe that audiobooks and ebooks are reading, in every way equal to printed hardcover books. If you do not, your engagement is unwelcome.

Randy O. Frost: Stuff (2011) 3 stars

Review of 'Stuff' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

I don't struggle with this problem myself, and I don't really know anyone who does. I picked up this book mostly on a whim, hoping for a more compassionate understanding of Hoarders than one generally sees on reality TV. That is, for the most part, what I got. This book does a good job of telling the case stories it provides, making them real people, rather than objects of amusement.

Moore, John: Heroics for beginners (2004, Berkley Pub. Gr.) 1 star

Review of 'Heroics for beginners' on 'Goodreads'

1 star

This book tries so, so hard to be funny. Unfortunately, it fails. This is probably because the author is unable to detect the fine difference between funny[return]and silly. The difference is hard to explain. The problem this book has is that all the jokes it tries to make are old and overused. Everyone has seen[return]how silly the things the author pokes fun at are, and has already laughed about them. Now they're just silly; all the fun has been removed by other and[return]better authors.
