Just wanted to inform you all that I will be joined by two other read­ers in pro­vid­ing reviews. As you are aware, Sen­e­tra con­tributes to the TBR Chal­lenge on a monthly basis already but she will also be pro­vid­ing the occa­sional review from her own library of books and Scar­lett Moore from Best​Fan​ta​syS​to​ries​.com will be pro­vid­ing us with urban fan­tasy reviews on a monthly basis.

As for myself, I am focus­ing more on mys­tery reviews with a pref­er­ence for those with a roman­tic sub­plot (but not required) ver­sus straight romance reviews. Actu­ally, that’s a not a new announce­ment. I love romance and there is a lit­tle of every­thing for every­body. But lately for me, I find myself impa­tient with the exis­tent trends that are cur­rently pop­u­lar right now — vam­pires, were­wolves and were-creatures of every vari­a­tion accom­pa­nied by char­ac­ters who are trained assas­sins or bounty hunters. Don’t even get me started on the his­tor­i­cals and straight con­tem­po­raries. Not for me right now.

I think I am still tied to the past when the golden age of romance had authors like Judith McNaught, Mary Balogh, Laura Kin­sale and Judith Ivory (all his­tor­i­cal romance writ­ers) among oth­ers crank­ing out hits one after the other (or so it seemed). Don’t get me wrong, I look for­ward to read­ing new authors every­day and I am espe­cially excited about Mered­ith Duran and her next two his­tor­i­cal nov­els (yes, I will be read­ing and review­ing those as well). There will always be the excep­tions of course for writ­ers whose work I already read will always be reviewed here.

Well, that’s it. I just wanted to inform you of the semi-new changes. If you’ve read this blog on a reg­u­lar basis, you already know I read just about every­thing under the sun and I will con­tinue to do that. It’s kind of hard to label my blog any­thing because it doesn’t have a cen­tral theme but as the title sug­gests: I am an avid book reader because I love read­ing genre fic­tion (so uno­rig­i­nal). With that said, I will close this topic now and say thank you to those who visit this blog on a reg­u­lar basis even when it’s not updated daily. I hope to con­tinue to bring new and tal­ented authors to your atten­tion. Thanks.
