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.
If you could ask your favorite author (alive or dead) one question … who would you ask, and what would the question be?
Shakespeare wrote 154 sonnets. Some speak of a woman of dark countenance, who was apparently married and some of the sonnets pertain to a fair young man.

That's a great question. I wonder if his answer would make us appreciate the sonnets more or less. What if his answer turned out to be something mundane.
Good question. Shakespeare would be such a good choice. I can't imagine only asking him one though - I'd end up wanting to sit down and really talk about his writing with him.
oh man Tgats a beautiful question. I adore Shakespeare and have so many things to ask him.
I am really not sure if I will ever ask him any question.
Do we know who he wrote about in the famous 'Can I compare the to a summers day?' I spotted that on the tube the other day and though how amazing to think that the muse has been immortalised so.
That is a wonderful question! I'd love to know the answer.
Good question, and good choice of author to ask! One could think of so many things to ask him, now that you mention him!
Yes indeed many questions for Shakespeare.. I would love to know about his life at court!
The BTT post is here at The Burton Review!
Wonderful question - it would be nice if we could find out the answer.
Great imaginative question, but you've got to love the mystery of never knowing for sure...
Don't you watch your BBC? The "woman of dark contenance" was Martha Jones and the "fair young man" was The Doctor.

Good choice. I went with Shakespeare, too - lots of questions to ask there.
Great question! I'd like to know who he really was. :)
Ah, the famous dark lady!
Oooh I would like to know the answer to this, too! Great question.
Oh yes, Shakespeare. That is a terrific question.
I haven't read anything by shakespeare because the language is too hard for me who happen to come from a country which doesn't use English.
But questioning an author that already passed away is quite interesting
I love your question, it would be so exciting to know if he was writing about a real person!
My BTT is now up and can be found HERE
Good question!
