For any author who would like his/her book to be reviewed, contact me. Poetry books too are solicited for reviewing. However, there are some genres I tend to avoid. Feel free to ask me.

I must mention here that I read at my own pace and depending on my mood. Don't ask me to hurry.

So sorry you're under the weather Gautami.This sounds like a fascinating book, I can't wait to hear your thoughts on it. Just take care of your self for the time being. Everything else will wait for you.
Simulacrum looks familiar to me, but I couldn't define it even when I saw how it was used. I have obfuscations most days! Thanks for participating!
Simulacrum is a new one for me.
Those are two big words. I sometimes wonder who makes them up, when their definitions seem so simple. ;-)
Was this book call The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane in the US? I'm familiar with the author and the subject of the book. Actually I am familiar with your new words too, but probably because it's the same book?
Hope you are starting to feel better.
I got 0/2 for you and don't foresee using them in the future. I have not heard of the book you are currently reading but it sounds very interesting I might have to look it up.
