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.
Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted over at The Broke and the Bookish. Each week, we get a theme to list our top tens.
This week's Top Ten is: Top Ten Books I have Lied About
Well, I simply move on to another book, if I am unable to read a book. Never thought of lying about that. It's a pity that I couldn't even lie about Ulysses by James Joyce, which I couldn't go beyond 4 pages. Or Mrs Dalloway by Virginia Woolf. Saying that I read them can do wonders for my prestige but do I need that?
That's about it!

I'm not really into lying about books either. Most of the time I'm not afraid to admit liking/disliking/not reading a book.
I'm the same. In my post you can see that I don't really lie about books, sometimes it's just not worth mentioning that I didn't read or like them though.
James Joyce is one of those authors I keep meaning to read...
I also don't see the need to lie about reading a book. If I do lie about a book its to spare someone's feelings.
Yeah, I don't know if I go to though those...
Thanks for stopping by my blog!

Has anyone ever gotten through Ulysses?
I own a copy of Ulysses, but I haven't read it. I don't lie about book either.
sadly . . . I plowed through Mrs. Dalloway. I don't find any reason to lie about books either.
Way to keep it honest. :) I don't really fib anymore nowadays because like you if I'm not enjoying a book, I just stop reading it. And if it's a "prestigious book" why lie about it? It's nice just to be honest about what you've read/not read/liked/disliked. Happy reading!
Hmmm, yeah, I don't think I've ever lied about a book but I know I've been probably too honest about books. Woops!
Yeah, I had to think SO hard to come up with my list of only six. It's good to be honest. :)
Ulysses is on my list. I really liked Mrs. Dalloway when I finally made it through.
Come check out The Scarlet Letter's Top Ten Tuesday
I wish I could move onto another book, but I'm so OCD. I've only not finished two books before and that was for content reasons. I need to be more like you! Thanks for stopping by my blog earlier.
Great post - and also a really great blog you have :-) I am a new follower and will def stop by often!
Thanks for popping by my list :)
Hi Gautami :)
Neither do I lie about books I have not read :)
I hope all is well with you :)
I don't really understand why people lie about reading books.
