Confuzzled Books
If you are wondering what kinds of books I review and events I host, this little section is the place to look.
Books I love to read: Children's, Young Adult, Paranormal and Fantasy books.
Books I like to read: General Fiction, Romances, Religious Fiction, Mysteries and Biographies.
So those are the genres of books I will generally review. If you send me a book outside of those areas, I'll consider it, but it may not fit my tastes. Reviews will take about 2 months to post; I try to post them around the time the book is released.
On giveaways: Sending me a signed book to give away on the site is a great way to get your book noticed. I do a "mystery book" giveaway about every 2 weeks, where I read the book and twitter about it without revealing its title, then reveal what I've been reading and give it away. The whole event takes a couple weeks, and I feature the giveaway book on my blog for most of that time.

Her Name Was Beauty
William and Selena come from mixed heritages, which makes their daughter, Beauty, an extension of their heritages. As she grows, her complexion shows signs of their dark skinned heritages. When she starts preschool, Beauty experiences the first negative reactions to her color, but her father teaches her to love who she is and not listen to others' negativity.Before I read it, I flipped through and noticed there are no pictures in this Children's book. Since it has as many pages as a children's picture book, I began to judge it as one. (I have always been a visual person and figure most kids are too.) I realized that I was judging by looks. but this was a story that didn't have art because its words were more important.
There was a part where the father explained to Beauty about her family's history, and I wish that the author had gone into that more deeply. The book has a strong message. There were a few sentences that didn't make sense and need to be worked out, but other then that the message is good.
