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.
One of the best parts about book blogging is the exposure to books and authors you might never have heard of before. Pimp the book you think needs more recognition on this day. Get creative! Maybe share snippets from other bloggers who have reviewed it or make some fun art to get your message across.
I will do this differently. I am well aware, not many would even bother to read my post. But I feel there is no world without the pure sciences. So why not highlight a GREAT Physicist?

I've read Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman and enjoyed it.(I have a lot of math/physics/Information Technology friends.)
Thanks for the feature, not sure I would like this type of book, though.

I once told my husband I didn't believe in physics and now it is a running joke in our house. :-)
This isn't a book I would normally gravitate towards but it does sound interesting. Do you think someone like me, who prefers the "soft" sciences would be overwhelmed and confused by it? Or is it pretty readable for the layperson?
Well, I've never read anything by him but I do happen to know who Richard Feynman is thanks to The Big Bang Theory!
Very interesting choice!
Wendy, Read Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman and you will love it. His Lectures in Physics are pretty easy too. Just start reading...
I really don't know much about Physics. I was a liberal arts girl in college, but I do like most sciences...
Thanks, Gautami! I'll look for that one and give it a try!
I listened to Richard Feynman's books on audio, and they were excellent!
Not sure if I'll read this book but thanks for sharing!
I had enjoyed reading Richard Feynman book. He was hilarious :)
