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.
Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted over at The Broke and the Bookish. Each week, we get a theme to list our top tens.
This week's Top Ten pick : Top Ten Books That Make You Think
Over the years, I have read too many books that have made me think. To list only ten is tough but here I go:
1) The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne
2) Zoya's Story: An Afghan Woman's Struggle for Freedom by John Follain and Rita Cristofari
3) Tess of the D'Urbervilles by Thomas Hardy
4) The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood
5) The Feudal Lord by Tehmina Durrani
6) The Road by Cormac McCarthy
7) Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher
8) Roots by Alex Haley
9) The i Tetralogy by Mathias B. Freese
10) Cold Mountain by Charles Frazier

Love your list. I met Alex Haley a long time ago. Amazing man. I didn't think of Scarlet Letter--good choice.
Great list! Definitely need to get around to Cold Mountain and The Handmaid's Tale--soon I hope! =)

Thanks for stopping by! You've got some great choices-- Scarlet Letter definitely made me think about guilt and shame. I really want to read a few of the others but haven't gotten to it yet!
