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.

Well you've had a great week. Under the Unbroken Sky really appeals to me. Enjoy them all!
Some great reads there. I like the sound of Humpty Dumpty was Pushed - I have a collection of short stories of the same name that's filled with nursery rhymes with a 'twist.'
You had a good book week - I hope you enjoy The Impostor's Daughter as much as I did.
Those sound like good books. Can't wait for your thoughts on Cleopatra's Daughter.

I really liked Under the Unbroken Sky and it's a book I never thought I would like. You know, it seemed bleak, depressing, etc. It was only that a little. The writing draws you in so much you will really be affected by the lives of these people!
Great books in the mail!
I've heard good things about Cleopatra's Daughter.

I used to listen to music when I read, but I actually prefer not to nowadays. It doesn't bother me if it's on, but since I tune the music out anyway, it's just better with silence.
Enjoy your new books, Gautami!
Great list. I have Someone Else's Daughter on my shelf.
My list won't be up for another 10 hours!
I am planning on reading Cleopatra's Daughter soon too.
Generally I don't listen to music.
Here is mine
how do you read FIVE books in one week! am in awe of your readerliness :) I'm lucky to manage 2 a month!
Interesting books you got this week. They look quite good. Hope you enjoy reading all your books.
I believe that you love Rock-n-Roll!! You got some fantastic books...enjoy!!
awesome list! enjoy!
I typically can't listen to music while reading; I get distracted and attempt to join in with the, consequently losing focus on the text. Rather, I find that the music of poetic words and dramatized dialogue is music enough for me. :)
I like it a little quiet when I read :)
Wow you must be on a first name basis with your mail carrier. Enjoy your books!
Here is my Monday post http://metroreader.blogspot.com/2009/09/mailbox-monday-september-21st.html
Looks like you had a good book week. I'm looking forward to you thoughts on Cleopatra's Daughter.
I need quiet to read - if I'm going to understand and remember what I'm reading :)
Typically I don't listen to music while reading, although on a rare occasion I'll play soft music very low. I have a cd of cello music that I love and I'll listen to that sometimes. I LOVE the title Humpty Dumpty Was Pushed!! LOL Can't wait for your review!
All new to me books, I hope you will enjoy them
looks like you had some good reading this week and some nice books just arriving. A Rock Fan, now that rocks! thanks for stopping by today.
I loved Under This Unbroken Sky. The writing is beautiful. I hope you enjoy it.
Looks like you got some great books this week. enjoy them. I'll be off line for this week mostly. My parents are visiting.
You received quite a few books last week. :) I seem to recall seeing The Imposters Daughter somewhere recently and it sounded good.
Here's my Mailbox! ~ Wendi
You sure read a lot last week.
The Imposter's Daughter is okay-- a fast and cute read. But I LOVED Under This Unbroken Sky! I hope you love it as much as I did!
I listen to slow music while reading too. I find it very relaxing. :)
Looks like you had a great reading week last week and have another one staring you down for this week!
Headphones are godsend to me especially when I'm working away from office where people jabber at their cell phones. :)
You've had a great reading week! Mine has been rather slow; I think I chose the wrong books this month.
I'll look forward to your thoughts on CLEOPATRA'S DAUGHTER. It looks like a very interesting book.
Terrif reads, Gautami.
I am also looking forward to your review of Cleopatra's Daughter.
Headphones can be a bit annoying, too ~ ear clogging ;p. Ha~ha!
Here's mine:

Never heard of Humpty Dumpty Was Pushed, but will be looking it up!
I also have The Imposter's Daughter but haven't read it yet.
Nice selection of books! Enjoy!
Awesome week, I loved Cleopatra's Daughter. Happy reading :-)
