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.

It's been years since I've read The Pearl... will have to reread it, even though I don't like to read things that make me cry. I read it in school..maybe I was more callous then.. lol
Happy Valentine's Day.
I reallyyyy want to read 13 Reasons Why! Great choices!
A few of these books are on my list, but I did read Sarah's Key and it was a sad one. Thanks for sharing your heart breakers!
I haven't read any of the books on your list, but I've heard good things about several of them. One Day by David Nicholls was the one that broke my heart the most last year.
Great choices this week! st
I've read a couple of those books. Great list!
Oh, I agree with your choices.
I've read Tess and 12 Reasons and agree with both.
