I am not a Book Blogger.

I blog about books, or more aptly, I love to reflect on books (and such) that I've read.  I write these from a personal place with no end goal in sight, except to share my views with fellow lovers of literature.  My book posts aren't reviews either, however, I've received a couple of requests from authors that would like for me to review their upcoming or newly-published books.

Now, I have no objection to such requests, except maybe that they mostly read impersonal and they take not into consideration the type and style of blogging I do.  So when I read my fellow blogger Charlie's article (who is a self-proclaimed book blogger) I immediately felt compelled to share the piece here, on my own site.  I do this in the hopes that future visitors interested in working with me, stumble upon this little insert and re-consider my blog, their approach and whether this is the right space for their work.

I've never considered doing book reviews for current markets.  Although, I should mention that (having thought this through) I would be delighted to work with you based on a couple of premises that can be further dealt with via email correspondence.  Also, please know, I presently do not e-read books — I love paper too dearly, reading a book from its printed paper is as honest a telling you can get of its work.  

Here's Charlie's article:
