Reader. Writer. Ranter. My name is Madeline, and I enjoy reading books and then ranting about them to strangers on the internet. I majored in English in college (because of course I did) and am still figuring out what to do with that. In the meantime, I read a lot and then post my opinions about literature online.
I’ll read almost anything – my reading tastes include history, fantasy, poetry, young adult, science fiction, short stories, biographies, graphic novels, and mysteries. I read classics, new bestsellers, emerging authors, and books that I buy just because they have cool covers. I’m also trying to finish, or at least make significant progress on, the list of 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die.
My reviewing style can best be summed up by Lester Bangs in Almost Famous: “You have to make your reputation on being honest, and unmerciful.” Adult language, fangirling, and frequent Twilight-bashing should be expected.
