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.
There are so many crappy biographies … would you rather read a poorly-written biography of a fascinating life, OR an exquisitely well-written, wonderful read of one of a not-so-interesting life?

Haha I would still stay away from a terribly plodding book about one of my favorite people, though, it's probably hard to find such a thing, given my preference in people.
I just dont know about this question. It was hard for me.
My BTT answer, if you are interested.
I don't think I would read bios much. But I did read Somaly Mam's, which was very touching and made me cry.
I'm not big on bios, but when I do read them (like anything I read) I want them to be well-written.

I haven't read much nonfiction of any kind for quite a while. But if I did, I'd still want it to be well-written.
I agree what biographies should inspire but the person must had lead an interesting life or why are we reading about them.

That's a tough question - I'm not sure I can answer it!
