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.
Do you find yourself forming trends in your reading? Is this a conscience act, influenced by either your own interests or current publishing fads?
I have never formed trends. so following any is out of question. I do keep reading different genres. I never stick to any particular one. Publishing fads can't influence me at all.

I smile every time I read the title of Poetic Musings of an Old, Fat Man. I hope you enjoy it!
Sounds like you got some great books to read. Happy BBAW.
I don't have a reading trend too. The books I choose to read always based on my mood then.
I try not to buy into trends and just read what interests me. Happy reading this week!!
I heard Nightshade is good! I usually set my own trends but sometimes other things help me decide what to read.
Wow you sure have a fantastic line-up. I'll be back to check out some reviews. Happy reading :-)
Here's my Monday post
morning!
Poetic Musings of an Old, Fat Man? I hope you'll share with us.
I'm a mood reader and sometimes I have to read a book and it isn't as good as it could have been because of my mood.
Thank you for commenting on my post
I love the Tintin books. Such fun. As for reading trends, I do find myself gravitating to similar themes for a while before I tire of whatever it is and move on to something else. It's not dictated by the publishing world but more by whatever my interest is currently.
Nice mailbox, and I do like buying books.
Happy reading
Poetic Musings sounds like my kind of poetry, but I don't know what "stroems" are. Anyway, enjoy & thanks for stopping by.
I have not heard of (or not not recall) Tintin. How is The New York Trilogy and how was Nightshade? Happy Reading. My list is here: http://rundpinne.blogspot.com/2009/09/what-are-you-reading-monday_14.html
The title of Poetic Musings of an Old, Fat Man might just be enough to entice me into reading poetry. Here's my Mailbox Nice mailbox, happy reading!
Looks like you had a trend of reading Tintin for a while! I know what you mean though - it's good to read widely.
Nice reading list. Have a great reading week!
Oh - I love Kat Martin - hope the book was a good one - not one I've read yet. :)

your reading always shows a great deal of diversity. If you want to wander down my road I’m home.
I finished a lot of books last week too! Here is mine
I love the title of your first Mailbox book! It looks like you've had a good week of reading - and have been very much immersed in the world of Tintin :)
Very nice books you bought yesterday, I am particularly interested in the DuMaurier titles. It's been ages since I've read Rebecca, and that's all I have read of hers. I need to get some more of her stuff.
I haven't read John Saul in forever.. but I remember really enjoying his books!
omg you read a lof of books! :D Enjoy!
I'm not much of a trend follower either - more like I'll read a type of book because of my mood.
Enjoy your books!
I haven't read any John Saul in ages! Have a great week.
Poetic Musings of an Old, Fat Man sounds very interesting!
I have never heard of the Tintin books, I am off to fantastic fiction to check them out!
I'm in agreement with you, I can't really get into trends. I read what catches my interest.
You'll enjoy this, I'm sure!
Poetic Musings of an Old, Fat Man by Harry E. Gilleland, Jr.
Can't wait to hear you views on it.
Love John Saul!
