"I think we ought to read only the kind of books that wound and stab us." Franz Kafka
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.
Dewey's 24-hour Readathon 
Wendy at Caribou's Mom is hosting this mini challenge for hours 8 through 10 of the 24 Hour Read-A-Thon.
Most obsessive readers are also collectors. Besides books, what do YOU collect?
I will answer this in the form of poetry:
In the midst of my books
I place precious something
you must be thinking of bookmarks
yes, I do collect those too
along with scraps of paper
matchboxes, coins,
black and white pictures of movie stars
yet, those count for nothing
"I collect memories, which I won't share
here with you, as no picture can do justice"

You are doing great. I got a little thrown off schedule this am, but I’m back on track now. Keep up the good work!
I will surely need a nap a bit later unless, I walk around the house constantly until I fall over from exhaustion...LOL
