A Weekend Get Away With Two Books

Going to Reno today for an extended weekend. After much deliberation I decided to take Armistead Maupin’s Babycakes as well as Tin House’s The Writer’s Notebook: Craft Essays from Tin House.

Speaking of Tin House, I attended their 10th anniversary shindig and was treated to some quite awesome readings from Tin House Magazine contributes. My personal favorite reader was Steve Almond and his essay on Toto’s song Africa. Anyway, I need a nap before the flight.

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.

-Colin Matthew
