Summer Experiment

Hello, and welcome to the Den of the Dweekerd. Allow me to share a bit about myself: I am a musician, amateur writer, and lover of books, anime, and video games. Hence the name Dweekerd. Dork + Geek + Nerd = Dweekerd.
This summer along with continuing, and hopefully finishing, my Mario fanfiction story The Next Great Adventure (find my profile here http://www.fanfiction.net/~princessviolet), I have decided to become a reviewer of books. My theme for the summer is simply going to be "women of literature," and I have already decided to review books by Jane Austen, Stephenie Meyer, and Margaret Atwood. And yes, I know Stephenie Meyer may not be considered a "great woman of literature" but she is a woman, and she writes books, and despite its unfortunate writing style the Twilight series has fully captured my attention. Fortunately for some, and perhaps unfortunately for others, I have decided to simply review the last book in the Twilight series, but more on that at a later date. In actuality my first book review will be of Margaret Atwood's The Year of the Flood (O.W. Toad, Ltd. 2009).
If anyone actually reads this and has any suggestions as far as books/authors I should review, please feel free to comment. I hope you enjoy this journey as much as I hopefully will.

  1. Hey, Dweekerd! This may not be in the same caliber as Jane Austen, but an excellent collection of short stories, written by women is "This is not Chick Lit", edited by Elizabeth Merrick. It's really worth the time.
