: About Me

hiyaa (:

my name is Lauren and i'm 16 years old. i found this site when i was looking for some extra ways to make money and thought because i read so much maybe i could review books for cash.

well i hope that is what happens anyways, but i also have ALOT of opinions so maybe my writing will stray onto other things, such as current events. and hopefully my story writing will improve too.. i have so many stories in my head but they never sound right on paper.

i know basic German and am also interested in speaking with maybe a German person or someone who knows English and German so i can improve my second language!

i am interested in lots of diverse subjects; from alternative lifestyles to modern politics, i am always interested in learning new things and debating. i LOVE reading, and i am currently trying to get my head around the financial situation and all of the strange/confusing terms they use! i love fantasy stories and anime, but i usually read more reflective books, although my favourite book is Lolita by Vladmir Nabokov..

so please talk to me and then maybe you can get to know more about me (: thankyou for reading and hopefully my reviews will spur you into new reading areas! lauren x

So what do you think when someone tells you they have cancer? Of course, your immediate thought is 'Oh God. They're going to die.' Not necessarily. Although the elusive cure for cancer is still out of reach, many cancers are in fact treatable, and in some cases curable. There are 26 types of cancer; bladder, bone, bowel, brain, breast, cervical, Hodgkin's, kidney, laryngeal, leukaemia, liver, lung, multiple myeloma (blood cells), non-Hodgkin's, oesophageal, oral, ovarian, pancreatic, prostate, skin, stomach, testicular, thyroid, uterine, vaginal and vulva.
