Sometimes when you are a severe book addict, your addiction begins to eat away at your money and with no money you begin to go through withdrawals. To avoid watching paint dry you can go to www.Wattpad.com and read thousands of books in many different categories for free!

Literally the website now claims they have over 100 million books available to read with over 40 million users so you have a lot of free books to drown in for the remainder of summer.

2. The helpful criticism

I know, I know, I know people on the internet can be heartless so why would you want to post your work for complete strangers to see?

Simple-it can help you become a better writer. Most of the users on WattPad are writers themselves so they try to hand out helpful criticism rather than hurtful criticism.

3. You get to feel like a celebrity
