I read - lots and I write - lots. I can cook a decent meal so that's a bonus. I love my dogs and I love walking. Otherwise, I'm a quite little introvert.
I have a BA Hons degree in English Literature (First Class).
I am almost finished a MLitt in Creative Writing.
I write book reviews for a national newspaper.
I am a published writer and poet.

Just the book I needed
I read most of this in a single sitting, I couldn’t put it down, nor did I want to. The story takes place over a weekend at a convention, so it is fairly fast paced. There are two alternating perspectives, Taylor and Charlie, both were wonderfully written. I really related to them, especially Taylor who is an introvert, who struggles with anxiety, also she has autism. A lot of what she said really spoke to me, this book is just really well written and I fully recommend it.

I received this book in exchange for an honest review.

This book is hilarious! The illustrations are quirky and fun. I have seen some of these comic strips around facebook but I'm glad they're all in a little tiny book for me to enjoy. I personally loved all of the bookworm comic stips & the introvert ones too.

I think this book deals with some issues that many of us "adults" have. It was done in a fun, quirky, and hilarious way. If you're looking for something to relate to, this is it! Seriously, you won't be disappointed.

Hauntingly poignant, such a great exploration into loneliness
Such a fabulously enticing book exploring the 1970's and 1980's New York scene while revealing the writer's own issues of dealing with loneliness. From the introvert but flamboyant Andy Warhol, to the artist David Wojnarowicz's AIDS activism, Olivia Laing brings to light the spaces between people and the things that draw them together.

The chapters on painter Edward Hopper and Henry Darger are particularly poignant, especially as Darger was practically invisible, and only known after his death as his paintings were discovered in his accommodation. The author's own story remains mysterious. The book epitomises loneliness, despite the bright lights of the big city.
