Hi,

Was wondering if you'd be interested in reviewing my new novel and posting your comments here as well as a few other book-related sites. Saw you liked Paris Trout, and I thought you might like my novel since it's also southern and a bit dark. I could e-mail you the novel in an e-book format if you'd like. Let me know if you're interested. Here's a link to a summary in case you're interested:

Thanks,

Chris

I see you liked the Book of Frank (Simon Black). Check out Me and Kev (also by Black). My copy is lonely.

And one more thing...did you realize when you posted the picture of the books that there would be some of us who would actually try to read the titles?

We share 22 books thus far and since I have only logged in about 100 that's 22%. And the books we share are intriguing...until I discovered that one of you is a bookstore employee - which explains alot! OF course, I don't know which one of you owns/read which book.... So tell me what's in your pile of advanced reader's copies and I'll tell you what's in mine...

PS: I fear getting completely caught up in entering our entire library (not including my husband's additional 30 boxes in storage) and never actually reading again...

We share Todd Shimoda's "The Fourth Treasure." One of us should write about the beauty of its pages. (Meanwhile his earlier book,"365 Views of Mt. Fuji" is one I've spent a lot of time with. . . large format, several plots on each page, illustrations. . . in total, worth hunting for.)Esta1923

Another Alice Munro fan! And you also seem to like Bret Easton Ellis as much as I do. What did you think of Lunar Park? I had a hard time getting through it.
