"I think we ought to read only the kind of books that wound and stab us." Franz Kafka
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.

Great selection. Have you tried Jo Nesbo..."The Snowman"?
As good as the Swedish trio.
I've recommened 2, 4, 8, 9 and 10! Great choices.
I read THE BOOK THIEF and continue to recommend it. :)
I've only read a few of those. I need to look into some of the others.
Oh wow, this is a great list. I've only read a few but I know the others have been getting really great reviews.
I love thinking about all the wonderful recommendations I've gotten from others. So many from wonderful bloggers!
