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.

A couple of your favorites have been on my wish list for awhile. I guess really do need to get my hands on a couple of these!
Faces in the Fire made my list, too!
haven't read any of them--thanks for the list!!
I'm not familiar with some of these, so I'll have to find out more!
I haven't read any of these! I now have a lot of books to add to my TBR list. :-)
That's a lot of books! I recognize a few titles but haven't read any of these. Thanks!
I haven't read any of the books you listed but I have heard of a few and it seems like you chose well.
Nice list! I have The Crying Tree on my TBR stack...looks like I need to get to it!
oh well except for Michelle Moran, I have not read any of them :(
Eeks, I hate it when I haven't read any of such a list! :\ I'm still in the process of deciding on my top reads of 2009...
Thanks so much for mentioning Killing Tree. I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Best wishes for a fabulous new year of reading.
