Public Readings: Both Involve Water

It was a slow week for people reading in public. I blame the fact that it is finals week at the university and reading for leisure wont help students pass those annoying Physics finals.

Camouflage by Joe Haldeman
Set in the near(ish) future of 2019, a marine biologist tries to uncover the secrets surrounding a mysterious egg like object that was found at the bottom of the ocean. Is it alien? Or maybe something worse? Speaking of aliens, there are two of them wondering around the planet, immortal and unknowing of each other’s existence. What connection do they have with the egg and what will happen with the find out about the other?

The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexander Dumas

Since January 2008 I have been using this blog to write about the books i've read and other book related news that I find interesting. I also find pirates interesting so from time to time I may blog about pirates. I see this as killing two birds with one stone.

Review Policy
Dear Publishers/Authors,

I am always willing to discuss reviewing you book on my blog. Discovering new authors is one of the things I love about book blogging. However, I do not accept all books for review. If it's not in my usual genre chances are I am going to decline the offer.

A couple of genres I dislike are: Self-Help, YA Paranormal, Hardcore Science-Fiction, and Depressing Memoirs.

Some genres I really enjoy: Pirates, Satire, Pulp Fiction, Queer Fiction, YA Fiction (Non-Paranormal and Non-Gossip Girl-esq) and Comical Memoirs.

Here's the thing. If you e-mail me asking me to review a book, I will always respond and let you know if I am interested or not. If you don't hear back from me, feel free to send a follow-up e-mail. No longer will I just ignore your e-mail.
