"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.
All other things being equal (good writing, enthralling story, etc), which would you rather read—something serious, angsty, and tragic? Or something light, fluffy, and fun? Or a blend of both? (Since, really, isn’t that how real life works?)
I prefer serious stuff. The kind of books which arouse my emotions. Angst is part of life and we all identify with it. Reading about it touches us.
Fluffy may make us smile but it does not make us think.
The header on my blog says:
"I think we ought to read only the kind of books that wound and stab us." Franz Kafka
And I do believe in that. Period.

I like a bit of tragedy and comedy in my novels - I like to experience a roller-coaster of emotions.
I like both, depending on my mood.
I like a mix of both.
