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.
Monday Mailbox is hosted by Marcia, In My Mailbox is hosted by The Story Siren and New Crayons is hosted by Color Online. Check all three, which are related to books you receive in the past week.
I received the following two books:
1) Tallgrass by Sandra Dallas
2) The Scottish Thistle by Cindy Vallar
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What books did you read while in school? Were there any that you particular liked, or even hated? Did any become lifelong favourites?
We had English Elective in our Senior School years. Apart from the course books, I read a lot of classics..Novels, Dramas, Poetry etc.
Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights remain my perennial favourites. I read and loved Rebecca too, along with lot more books. I read almost everything by the Bard. Wordsworth, Keats, Shelly, Browning, Burns, Frost, and comtemporary poets interested me a lot. They still do.
However, I don't like Jane Austen Novels. And also Hemingway. Period

I've heard good things about Tallgrass.
Have a good week!
Good week for you. I actually liked almost everything I ever read for school, nerd that I am. :-)
"Rebecca" is one of my all-time favorites! I keep hearing about it lately, so I think it's time for a reread.
