Welcome to Booksie's Blog! I write reviews of what I've read, some of which were books sent by publishers or authors. If you would like for me to read and review your book, please contact me. I'd love to have the chance to review for you although I don't usually read to deadlines. My email address is skirkland@triad.rr.com I can't accept everything but I do read and review everything I accept. I average about 10-12 reviews a month. I tend to favor physical books over ebooks for review.

You are reading 11 books at once? How do you do that? I am very slowly working my way through Silkworm. It seems like I have been reading it forever but I am determined to finish by this weekend.

ReplyDeleteI always like to read a lot of different books at the same time since I don't know what I'll be in the mood for. Plus some are paper, some are audio, some are ebooks.
