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.

I listened to Night many years ago and have always wanted revisit with the paper version this time. Such a powerful story. Great choice.
Great list! I've heard of most of them... but only read 2 & 10. Have wanted to read Night for years.
Here's my TTT
An inspirational list that includes some of my personal favorites. Older books that stirred my soul and I look forward to returning to again and again.
I haven't read any of these titles but I have Suite Francaise and I heard wonderful things about Frankl's book.
Great list. Hooray for your Shackleton pick at #1. I can never forget what he did & survived at the South Pole ! Great book & choice.
