I am accepting books from authors, publishers and/or agents for my review and/or honest opinion. Please click on REVIEW POLICY (at top of blog) for complete listing. Mystery/suspense are favorite genre. Sony EReader accessible. I will not accept any monetary compensation for said opinion. Please email me regarding any requests and I will respond ASAP. Please see disclaimer of FTC guidelines located left sidebar of this blog.
My reviews are short in words. I conducted a poll and the majority said they would rather read short reviews with detailed information. My opinion is that a book will get more attention with this format as compared to a lengthy review where the reader would lose interest.

This week's question:
All things being equal (money, space, etc), would you rather own copies of the books you read? Or borrow them? My answer:
Own. I would much rather utilize all my senses when it comes to a new book compared to a borrowed one.
I prefer to own the book. I switch betweens genres and like to have the books I am interested in on hand, so I can read them when I am in the mood to. Sad part is, I am not a big collector of books and usually pass them on after reading them. Borrowing would be so much friendlier to my wallet.
