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 (writing quality, story, etc), which would you rather read?
1. Something written by a man or a woman?
My preferred genre is crime fiction. If a novel is good, it does not matter if it is written by a man or a woman. Nowadays, one can find a lot of women crime fiction writer. I do not choose a Crime Fiction by the gender of the author.
2. Something with a male or female protagonist?
Let me put it this way. I love Sherlock Holmes/Dr. Watson. I also love Lisbeth Salander. Period.
3. Something funny or something tragic?
It depends on my mood.
4. Something short or something long with many parts?
I prefer something long with many parts, even in short stories.
5. Something simple or something layered?
Layered, of course!

I just recently looked into Sherlock Holmes. He is different to say the least, but enjoyable.
My favorites do tend to be layered...and after that, I choose books with great characters. Often those are written by women, but I have favorite male authors, too.
Here's MY BTT POST
The gender of the author and the characters doesn't matter to me either.
My answers would match yours exactly, Gautami!
