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: Ten Bookish Websites, Organizations, Apps. Etc.
Most will highlight the well known bookish sites. But I am going to highlight the lesser known or unknown bookish links. Here I go:
1) zoetrope: All-Story is a quarterly literary publication founded by Francis Ford Coppola in 1997 to explore the intersection of story and art, fiction and film. I simply love exploring this website
2) Journal of Mythical Arts: It is sponsored by the Endicott Studio, a nonprofit organization dedicated to literary, visual, and performance arts inspired by myth, folklore, fairy tales, and the oral storytelling tradition.
3) Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie: You will find everything related with her. Poetry, short stories, new projects.
4) Crime Time: An excellent magazine devoted to crime and mystery fiction.
5) The Financial Fiction Genre: A web site,on banking and finance in fiction from the classics of Dumas, Dickens and Thackeray to modern financial thrillers.
6) Poetry Daily: All about contemporary poets and poetry
7) Google Books
8) Short Story Classics: The Best from the Masters of the Genre
9) PoeStories.com: This site contains short stories and poems by Edgar Allan Poe , story summaries, quotes, and linked vocabulary words and definitions for educational reading. It also includes a short biography, a timeline of Poe's life, and links to other Poe sites.
