Two Books of 2009

It has come to my attention the Christopher Moore‘s new book Fool is set to come out on February 10th, 2009. Being a big fan of Moore, I’m excited about it. Sadly, I don’t know much about the book. I think it is a retelling of King Lear or something along those lines. Abby Normal from A Dirty Job and You Suck will be in Fool. Moore’s last books have all taken place in San Fransisco and share characters. I like that type of integration between books. It’s like rewarding the reader for reading all of Moore’s books. Now if only I could get my hands on an Advance Readers Copy of this book.. That would make my day.

Fool

Another book I am looking forward to is The Pirates! In an Adventure with Napoleon. This is the forth book in Gideon Defoe‘s The Pirates! In Adventures With… series. Napoleon has already been released in the UK and I have considered importing it. That might be easier than waiting till May 26th, 2009 for the US release.

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.
