TITLE: I AM BAILEY BENNETT
AUTHOR: KATIESHAKESPEARE
CHAPTERS: 13
ABOUT: boyxboy, an inter-sexual boy (at least he thinks he's a boy) faving the judgment of high school for the first time. ***There are some sex scenes, but they're not very detailed***
COMMENTS:" Wow I didn't know about this. I can already see that I'm going to like this story" "You are so talented! This is amazing. I'm afraid to read on but guh I just have to. :D"
SUMMARY: [Gay Fiction] Beautiful: Possessing qualities that give great pleasure or satisfaction to see, hear, think about, taste, smell, and to feel. You do not want to see me. When you see me, you see a freak. You do not want to hear my voice, my high hideous voice. Nor do you want to think about me and my disgusting self. Never would you want to taste me with your lips, or smell my wretchedness. And you most certainly do not want to feel me. You do not want to feel me or feel what I feel. I am Bailey Bennett and I am not beautiful
MY THOUGHTS: It's hard to find a really good book now a days, but it's even harder to find a really good book that is like no other. How many of you have read a book about an inter-sexual boy, that was will written, and enjoyed it? If you have, well, kudos to you. But for the rest of us, this book is a real breath of fresh air. I'm so tired of reading the same old cliched stories. Either the jock falls in love with the loser that has no friends, or it's some horribly written story that is way too predictable. But this, my dear readers, is like sunshine on a dreary day. This is the type of book that reminds me why I love to read and why I love writing these reviews. As you're reading these pages you can feel Bailey's pain and it's like everything is actually happening to you. Not only do I think it's beautifully written, but I love the message it gives off. Not everyone knows who they are. And whether it be because they're battling the thought of being gay, someone like Bailey (an inter-sexual), or just can't find themselves for whatever reason. I Am Bailey Bennett is a very inspirational book and I think everyone, whether you're struggling with your identity or not, should read it. It gives you a better understanding of what others go through and gives you a chance to look at the world through their eyes.

No matter what you're going through, even if it seems like no one cares, someone does and someone will. Life is, honestly, a big bowl of disappointment. But if you can find that slither of sunshine in the shadows, it will all be worth it. Bailey helped me realize this.

46 Year Old Syndrome
The daily Litrpg journal of a fairly average 46 year old man in a world where hundreds of thousands of people suddenly have a super power.Follow him as he learns skills, runs away a lot, suffers crippling headaches, avoids reading his titles, and tries to avoid breaking his body that didn't get enough calcium and vegetables.[Disclaimer 1: Despite the following, I will fix any typos pointed out. This is a writing exercise so chapters are mostly first drafts, otherwise I'd end up rewriting each chapter for a month or more with no real changes. My goals are a steady output by not using perfectionism as a procrastination method. I've already got laziness and additions to reading/games, I don't need a 3rd reason to procrastinate.][Disclaimer 2: The main character is a more normalized version of me, with 170% less laziness installed, and a few buffs like greater courage. Other things like having a job are partially similar. No other characters are based on real people because most people I know are either too normal to be useful or too fucked in the head to be believable.]
