Ray Wodanson (iconwodan) | 3 comments Hey so real quick ever since I went through chemo I have severe attention issues and I notice I find it really hard to read. I still do, one or two every month or so, but that is nothing compared to my former 4-5 a week.
"So since I just realized I didn's say I am in remission from both my cancers for 2 years heading into 3 years. So this is lingering chemo brain changes it seems."

So I am looking for something along the lines or Dresden Files, Iron Druid, any Simon R green series, I tend to enjoy urban fantasy but please no paranormal romance. Sex/romance scenes kill my interest. Relationships, and budding romances are fine but no Jd Ward or Charlene Harris please. Part of my issue is I have read so many books in the past I have a hard time finding new books to read. I will be honest give me a shite book, junk books end up being my favorite.

yeah its really hard to see the difference between romance and ROMANCE... the first one is where it´s a bit more realistic, where as the 2 one is the whole simpering swooning women meeting strong man with flexing biceps haha... that is why I like the free kindle... usually though I also tjeck up on the books on goodreads, to see what people say...

The link was just urban/paranormal so you just has to scim through... you can always remove it again :D

I am more partial to other worlds I must confess.... but I think its hard to recommend to a man, because males a wired different than women :D
