For someone who teaches mathematics, poetry comes easy. There are so many aspects about myself that are unknown even to me. Poetry is way to explore myself. Where it will lead me, I don't know. I don't want to know. I thrive on the unknown.
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 Mondayis 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. It has finally found a permanent home at Mailbox Mondaywith the following new administrators:
I received the following novel, thanks to the author/publicist: White Ginger by Thatcher Robinson Armed with Buddhist philosophy and wicked knife skills, Bai Jiang works at being a better person by following her conscience, while struggling with what she likes to think of as "aggressive assertiveness." When a girl goes missing in San Francisco's Chinatown, Bai is called upon as a souxun, a people finder, to track down the lost girl. The trail leads to wannabe gangsters, flesh peddlers, and eventually to those who have marked Bai for death. Enlisting the aid of her closest friend and partner, Lee--a sophisticated gay man who protects her, mostly from herself--and Jason--a triad assassin and the father of her daughter--they follow the girl across the Bay and across the country. Bai confronts paid assassins and triad hatchet men, only to find that being true to her beliefs as a Buddhist and staying alive are often at odds. At the same time, fighting a faceless enemy who seems committed to having her killed fills her with anger and fear that sometimes turns into a burning rage with deadly consequences. Flavored with dark humor, White Ginger serves the perfect cocktail of wit, charm, sex, and violence.
I finished reading the following: 50. Voltaire's Calligrapher by Pablo De Santis (Historical Thriller) 49. The Sekhmet Bed by L. M. Ironside (Historical) 48. The Civilized World by Susi Wyss (Literary Fiction) 47. The Wedding by Lorhainne Eckhart (Contemporary Romance) 46. Scandal's Child by Sherrill Bodine (Historical Romance)

Enjoy! your birthday and your reading week.
Hope you enjoy White Ginger. Happy Birthday!
Your book looks good - especially since it has a main character named Jason. I speak from experience when I say that Jasons are cool :)
White Ginger looks good. I really liked The Kommandant's Girl.
ENJOY your week.
