Sarah Evermotion's Book Thoughts
A Reading Journal
Readability: This was very easy to read, though I found at time the author was a little too personal and keeping track of names was a bit much. Structure: This was just a mix of essays with decent bridges between them. Density: 4/10 Thoughts: Pixel Flesh was a bit of a struggle for me, I’m... Continue Reading →

I've read plenty of romance with plenty of moans, plenty of orgasms but nothing within the non-fiction realm that really looks at people's experiences or opinions. I figured there is a first time for everything though right?! Moan:... Continue Reading →
