NewPennieshide bio
NewPennies I'm a reader not a writer. I review. And I review hard. I find the good stories out there - things I like to call "New Pennies" and let you know how much I like them. My favorite stories and authors are what I would call the best of the best. You might not agree with my tastes, but we all have different personalities and different lives. And I can only judge based on my knowledge. Also I am open to suggestions. If anyone has any suggestions on stories to read - please let me know. So here's to all the "New Pennies" I'll be finding when I sit down and start reading. Cheers! |
