Reading is a critical part of being a writer. In fact, I think it might even be the most important part of what I do: it keeps my brain sharp, and me constantly entertained. You’ll find most of what I’ve read at Goodreads.com, but I’ll post full reviews here. Keep your eyes peeled–and remember to read, if writing’s what you want to do with your life.
