I'm A Book Shark

Freelance copyeditor to all amazing self-published and independent authors. Check out my editing page for more information. <3 Mickey is the blogger behind I’m A Book Shark. She really wishes there was a better explanation for why she’s a book shark. A new twitter name was needed, and it had to be about her favorite hobby: reading! For whatever reason, sharks also came to mind, and a book shark was born. Besides reading, Mickey is a natural reddish-headed, late-twenties, tattooed, entertainment-of-all-kinds lover, wife of husband, mother of reptiles (and a cat and two puppies, all spoiled), student, employee, boss, and (mostly) raw vegan. Oh yeah, and she likes to blog. www.imabookshark.com

Mathilda - Mary Shelley Told in first person by Mathilda, a woman perhaps on her deathbed, this very short tale is possibly biographical for Mary Shelley. Mathilda's mother dies around childbirth, and her father's grief is too much so he fleas. She is raised by her aunt until she is 16 and she lives with her father. Sexual desire is inferred from the father's end, but Mathilda still wants to be with her father. Soon after, her father kills himself and Mathilda shuts herself up. She then befriends a poet who is mourning the loss of his significant other to take his place in a way. Then she just waits to die so she can be with her father in the end. Yuck. However, it was written pretty well, and I loved Frankenstein. A quick read for sure.
