"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.
It didn’t take you long to
Work me out
You seem to know me
All the way, well
I guess you knew my inside parts
You knew the beating of my heart
Like no-one else knew
We must remember
Somewhere
Where we knitted together in
Our mother’s warmth.
~Once a mother always a mother by Sue Oaks
Short Stories on Motherhood by Sue Oaks
All the five short stories touch us in some way or the other. Those are not the traditional stories of motherhood but very different, modern, magical, surreal and hard hitting. It is not easy to review the stories but I would say, the book ought to be read by all. Mothers, daughter, fathers and sons.

This doesn't sound like my cup of tea, but thanks for sharing!
Here's this week's teaser!
I liked the poem, I found it quite sentimental which I suppose will be the tone of the stories?
I laughed when I saw the tag line on the header of this blog: you'd get on very well with a friend of mine. She doesn't read books "with fluffy clouds" in them. :-)
Interesting poem.

Sweet prose.
What a sweet poem, and definitely something to remember.
