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.
Mailbox Monday is a gathering place for readers to share the books that came into their house last week and explore great book blogs. Mailbox Monday can lead to envy, toppling TBR piles and humongous wish lists. July host is Tasha @ Book Obsessed.
I received one book, thanks to the publicist:
The Rockin' Chair by Steven Manchester
Book Description
Memories are the ultimate contradiction. They can warm us on our coldest days – or they can freeze a loved one out of our lives forever. The McCarthy family has a trove of warm memories. Of innocent first kisses. Of sumptuous family meals. Of wondrous lessons learned at the foot of a rocking chair. But they also have had their share of icy ones. Of words that can never be unsaid. Of choices that can never be unmade. Of actions that can never be undone.
Following the death of his beloved wife, John McCarthy – Grandpa John – calls his family back home. It is time for them to face the memories they have made, both warm and cold. Only then can they move beyond them and into the future.
I downloaded the following free e-books from Amazon:

I heard The Rocking Chair was a heartwarming book--glad you enjoyed it. Have a good week reading.
the Rocking Chair sounds interesting even though it isn't the sort of book I usually read. Come see what I did last week here. Happy reading this week!
The Rocking Chair sounds like a heartwarming story.
I hate spoilers too! If there's a warning, that's fine, especially in a sequel. But spoilers without warnings are just cruel.
I hate spoilers..and hope I never do it! Lol
An interesting cover, enjoy!

I don't like to read spoilers too. I think they take away so much from the book! Nice post :) Stopping by from a blog hop.

I post what Goodreads says about a book and then discuss the plot, characters, backstory, worldbuilding, etc. No spoilers. Here is mine: MM
