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.

It is definitely interesting reading the thoughts of the famous female writers now deceased. Especially as they talk about rejection from publishers and sometimes family or peers.Harriet Beecher Stowe discussed how hard it was to make time to write because she also had to care for her children.
As a writer it is nice to know that all of them tend to go through similar things before they gain readers. There was not much that I had not heard before though mostly from artists that are alive now. I wish I could say that there was a quote from a author in this book that stuck out so I could share but to be honest there just was not one for me. I liked the book , as I said, because the quotes of the deceased authors are a part of history and should make me feel that as a writer that I am not alone as every writer has their down or up moments. It just didn’t give me that feeling.
