I love good stories. I love good books. My ideal piece of downtime heaven is curling up with a good book over ice-cold soda or over a glass (or pitcher – hic !) of nice cold, tart margarita. I love them to a fault, a vice really. This vice has recently forced me to buy an additional bookshelf for housing an accumulated 60 ++ unread volumes. To assuage my guilt over my literary gluttony, I have this blog to share what my impressions are of the various authors and the stories they tell. I am not a writer but maybe my little reviews could be useful to someone who may be curious or just plain cautious about plunking down good money for fiction.

It’s interesting to read your reviews. And yes, it is a big help for us who are just plain curious about reading fiction

Your reviews are really very helpful. They’re not intimidating at all. And, more importantly, they get people to read.

Thanks so much for your really nice comment, Peter. If my reviews can get people to read, then, I would have achieved what I set out to do. I just love sharing my books.

Hi Johanna! Thanks for adding me up to your blogroll. Did the same over at my blog.
I think you truly deserve that eclectic taste nomination. I haven’t heard any of the books you recently reviewed here. But then, maybe it’s just me. I’m only just getting back now to my reading hobby after years of “unbookish” ways.

Goodness, so am I — I mean getting back into voracious reading. Started last year. That’s why I can’t seem to get enough books! Feel like I missed out on a lot and need to catch up!

Adding bookshelves is a given! heh
..I’ll take that tart margarita (no salt/ on the rocks) thank you!
