Mondays: Mailbox/What Are You Reading/Musings


Is there a book you absolutely love, but for some reason, people never think it sounds interesting, or maybe they read it and don’t like it at all?

I think there are lots of books, which I love and others have not liked it. That does not really matter to me. Reading is very personal. Our tastes differ. One person's poison is other person's nectar. I love poetry but many don't. For what so ever reason. We should respect each other and go on reading what we like.

Mailbox Monday has moved over to Rose City Reader for the month of January 2011. 

I received NOTHING!

I finished only one book and have scheduled its review:
Dead Head by Rosemary Harris

My reading again, seems to be slow. Currently reading some poetry and another mystery...

    Don't you hate it when you don't get any books in a week? It drives me crazy!


    Here is my weekly update

    Maybe your mailbox will bring a wonderful book or two this week. Enjoy your poetry and I hope the mystery is an excellent one. My Monday: http://www.rundpinne.com/2011/01/its-monday-what-are-you-reading-23.html

    I consider two books a week a good week for me. Luckily I had two snow days and read a lot more this week. Hope you have a better reading week this week!

    Checking in from Monday Musings, and I agree with your thoughts. It's nice we have so many genres to choose from. That way everyone is pleased.

    Checking in from Musing Mondays...

    I do agree with you there... read what you love - life is too short to worry about what others think, Gautami ;)

    I agree that taste in books is very personal...but does that stop us from recommending the books that we love?

    I agree about the books we choose, and how it's very personal.

    I agree, what one enjoys another will not. It is all about preference. Check out my answer for Monday's Musing.

    I have not been requesting as many books but when the mailbox is empty it makes me sad. Hope you get some goodies this week!
