Fall Reading

Here are the books I hope to read this fall. A few of them are left over from my Summer Reading Pile that I never got around to reading. Of my Summer Reading Pile, I managed to finish nine of my original nineteen books I had planned. I did get sidetracked and read a couple books that weren’t originally in my pile. You know how that goes..

Polly and the Pirates by Ted Naifeh

The Looking Glass Wars by Frank Beddor
Jane-Emily by Patricia Clapp
Edin Burgh by Alexander Chee
Sparks by Lawrence Marvit
Have You Seen The Horizon Lately? By Jamie S. Rich

General Stuff
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.
