"I think we ought to read only the kind of books that wound and stab us." Franz Kafka
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.
Overall, what factor most influences your choice of your next read?
Many a times, it is not I but a particular book decides for me. I stand in front of one of my bookshelves, and wait for a book to call out to me. It can be anything. The genre I have been reading or something entirely different. I have never been disappointed.
What is it that makes you want to read a book by an author you have never read before?
Recommendations from people I know or book bloggers I trust do influence me in reading a new author. But then the genre I like is also a deciding factor. There can never be any hard and fast rule!

I'm usually scrambling to read for my book club, an author event or another commitment.
Good answer! I don't know that I would enjoy reading following some sort of guideline -- like you, it just has to hit me!
I am sad to say that often it's the book cover speaking to my inner "cover whore" that draws me to a book
