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.

Great list! I should've mentioned more about my reading habits, I seemed to have drawn a blank when I was putting my list together for this week xD
Here's my TTT for this week =)
I also pick out difficult books, simply because I like challenging myself and that includes science books. I'm a bit weird when it comes to science, proven by my post on the Symphony of Science last weekend XD Thanks for sharing :)

Great list! I share your hatred of self help books, too. And I love science books! thanks for stopping by!
#2, #5, #9 - those are all things I do, too! I haaaaaaaaate self-help, and usually have to be picky about memoir, too. Sometimes that is too self-help-y for me.
Great confessions - thanks for sharing!
I don't like self help books either.
Argh, I hate self-help books, too. I think it might partly be because my mom loves them ridiculously much.
