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.

The Minefields by Steven Eisner: From an early age, Sam Spiegel single-mindedly pursued an entrepreneurial path that prepared him to transform a small-time ad agency into a regional powerhouse with national ambitions. A couple decades later, Sam had achieved almost everything he ever dreamed possible as the ad agency's rainmaker, fountainhead, and unflappable pursuer of success. One final goal remained: To consolidate his gains by attracting an international advertising conglomerate and cash out. That's when the nation is hit with the most unthinkable tragedy, and Sam begins to take stock of his own life, finding that he is growing weary of the relentless hunt. Unsatisfied in his marriage and embroiled in a mind-boggling professional crisis, everything Sam had achieved is put at risk.

Do you belong to any book clubs — face-to-face, or online? If so, how long have you been with the group(s)? If not, why?
No, I do not belong to any book clubs. Mainly because I prefer to read at my own pace and interest.

Hi Gautami,
This book is obviously on tour right now, as several others have already mentioned it.
There are a couple who have already managed to get reviews posted and everyone seems in agreement that they enjoyed it, both for the storyline around the advertising agency and the inter-family disputes and personality clashes.
I hope that you enjoy reading this one also and look forward to your review.
Thanks for sharing and have a good week.
