So. This is me, Xenexian AKA Lauren. I'm a female teenager from England 
I love reading A LOT and am always doing it. Well, WAS. I've pretty much had a packed schedule this past four months - NaNoWriMo in November, straight into DecNaWriMo in December, which led straight onto JanNoWriMo in January which also went immediately into FAWM and FebNoWriMo in February. And guess what? All of them have been writing contests. Well, FAWM was a songwriting contest, and all the others were novel writing contests... But regardless! INCESSENT TYPING FOR 120 DAYS. My fingers ache so much DX
I read a 350 page book last month, and that's all I've read since christmas (I got, like, 5 new novels then. I read them all immediately), which is WAY below my average reading. So I decided to create this challenge because I haven't yet found a reading challenge, and I want to get back into my novels because after writing a novel and editing it and getting it ready for publishing (all to a deadilne, I may add) I understand the phenomonal effort behind the pages we read. It's given me a new appreciation/thirst to sink my teeth into a good book.
Fun facts:
And that's about it about me... So I'll post back here every day throughout week 1 with my daily stats

- I read HP 6 in 13 hours on the day it was released...
- ... I also read HP 7 in almost 11 hours, also on the day it was released...
- ...As well as reading HP 5 32 times over the years.
- I own over 100 books that my mom likes to steal because I have better taste in novels than her
- I'm totally into supernatural and fantasy books, but horrors, thrillers and real life stories fit in there aswell
- I had a short story of mine published in a saga thing contest
- I've taken part in 5 consecutive WriMo's, won 3 of them, failed 1 and just gave up on the other
- I wrote a novel. It's currently at 34,000 words, but it's almost finished.
And that's about it about me... So I'll post back here every day throughout week 1 with my daily stats
