Welcome to This Girl Writes; my name is Dawn. I’m not sure what you want to know about me, but I’ll do my best to introduce myself.

I love reading! I strongly believe that everyone can enjoy reading if they find the right book. With the number of books out there, this is totally doable if you try. However, I also realize how hard it can be to decide which books to read. I am constantly re-reading books I love because I find it hard to choose from the ones I haven’t read. That’s part of the reason I started this blog. I want to help others find books to read.

Another reason I started this blog is I hate when I’m reading a series and then, seemingly out of left-field, the author throws in a gratuitous scene. This especially annoys me when the series is/was originally marketed for young adults (teens). I don’t care if that is what an author wants to write, but I don’t care to read it. Young Adult Fiction varies so drastically it can be hard to know what the limits are unless you’ve read a ton of the author’s work.

This variety led me to create a grading system to help others understand the books I review. The opinions expressed are my own, and if you disagree with me, that’s great. I love a good argument. I do not believe I know what is right for others to read. I just want to provide some help if others feel the same way I do. If not, that’s cool too.

I hope you enjoy your time on This Girl Writes!!!
