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.

I very nearly put The Cellist of Sarajevo in my post today, its wonderful isnt it?
Cleopatra's Daughter was a great book! others I have not read :)
I've just read your reviews of the Salem book and the Cellist and I will be looking out for them in the library...
Cleopatra's Daughter sounds like a wonderful book. I can't wait to read it myself. Ancient Rome is definitely an interesting setting. :)
Loved this post. I also enjoyed Cellist of Sarajevo; The Hour I First Believed, and the Katerine Howe book.
I haven't read any of the books on your list, but I do have a few of them in my TBR pile.
Thank you for mentioning me - I'm honored!
That's a very good list, and a great idea to list books and authors you are thankful for!
I liked that you included your authors.
Here is mine

I haven't read any in your list yet...but I will if I ever find them in my country's bookstores
I haven't heard of most of these.
Happy Thanksgiving. Here is mine
For today’s post, I don’t want to give away my top 10 books of the read, so I highlight authors whom I have discovered and re-connected this year. :) The Cellist of Sarajevo, by the way, is on my list.
Thanks for the holiday wishes! I have The Cellist of Sarajevo on my wishlist - everyone seems to like it.
I've been hearing a lot of good things about Cleopatra's Daughter. I'll have to check it out. And The Cellist of Sarajevo.
