Inspiration
So I am reading this book that is written by a 17 year old, and wow I am impressed!
The book is called "The Seven" and the authors name is Derek Edgington. I will be doing a review of the book for him as soon as I get it finished so I wont say much about the plot, but I will say that he has inspired me to continue writing and stop making excuses. If a 17 year old can write this well then I think I can follow in his footsteps and start writing! Lets just hope I can write half as good as he can and I will be set!
I can't wait to see this young authors career flourish!

Amount of Females > Than the Amount of Males.
Am I the only one that has noticed more females than males in the book world? I swear if I run into one other male that reads books as much as I do then I will truly freak out, but I meet 9 females every hour that read as much as me?!?
I just don't get it. Do males hate to read? Am I doomed to be a lone male reader in a female readers world? (Not that I am complaining or anything)
I am a member of goodreads.com and on that website the top rated books are all Young Adult books with a female leads and female authors. What?!? So I did a little research and I figured out that the ratio of females to male on that website is 4 to 1. (I made that up completely) I also realized that the men who do read are less likely to post reviews and rate the books.
Okay I don't know where I am going with this post.... I am just ranting (slightly). Leave your thought in the comments...
For my next "random" post I will explain why I dislike YA books with female leads by female authors. (Not a bad reason like you think)

My First Review Copies.
Well I think I might be getting my first set of books to review from an author. He is mainly looking for typos, but he shall get an honest review as well. I am excited to help him out, I just hope I live up to his expectations! I think that even if I don't get a review copy from the author, I am still going to get the books do what he asked!
So if you guys haven't noticed, I have changed my review style with each review that I have put on here. I am trying to figure out what I like, and what the reader would like. If you have any ideas please leave a comment and let me know. I know I am going to shorten my summery of the book. I am going to leave the "back of the book" or blurb section. A rating system will be added, and my final thoughts section with always be there.
Well I thought I would tell you what I am reading right now...
I am Currently Reading -

I really haven't decided what to read after this one. It depends on if this author sends me his books!
