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.
Mijeong by Byung-Jun Byun
Product Description
In Chinese, Mijeong means pure beauty.

That sounds like a great book!
The cover looks awesome. Great find.
Thanks so much for stopping by my blog, I may love Debbie Macomber but I haven't read everything she's written and some books I didn't finish.
Your pick sounds really sad. I wonder if the library has it...wander off to write a reminder note
My finds are HERE
This sounds like a really good book. :-D Good choice.
What a great find, and the cover is gorgeous.
A graphic novel of short stories? Wow. I've never heard of such a thing but it does sound intriguing.
This looks like a beautiful book. If the artwork is anything like the cover, than I'm already a fan. Great find, I'm adding it to my wish list.

That's a pretty cover. I haven't really gotten into graphic novels. I think the trend just passed me over.
I stumbled on your blog... it's great... your friday find it seems like a great book...
The cover is so beautiful. Looks like a good one!
It sounds really good. What a great find! Amazing cover also.
I think you are the one who finally convinced me to try graphic novels. I am still very far behind the curve but I read what I can and I think this book sounds lovely. It's one I will add to my list (I'm glad my computers working again, I missed visiting your blog).
