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.
Extremely loud: a stentorian voice. See synonims at loud.
[After Stentor, a loud-voiced Greek herald in the Iliad.]

I like the sound of stentorian. Neat to know the origin as well.
I've been known to use a stentorian voice since both of my parents are hard of hearing. Great word! It's new to me. Thanks for participating!
