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.

This Week's Pick: Ten Books That I Read That Were Outside Of My Comfort Zone
As I read all kinds of novels, I don't think anything is out of my comfort Zone, maybe except for crime fiction with serial killers. Too much senseless killing totally puts me off.

Yes, senseless killing is not enjoyable reading. I also feel that way about dystopian stories - it just seems that the future holds nothing but misery. Although I've been trying to read more of them because they can be very thought provoking.
You are right, Trish. Dystopian novels indeed are very dejecting. As if there is nothing good in the future. A few with that misery theme is okay. But almost all, I can't take it.
I love dystopian novels! I feel like the end message is always one of hope, even it its taking place in a dreary setting.

I'm not good with serial killers either...among other things.
