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.

A strange book with stranger creatures. There are lizards, cyclopes, living books, and some things I can not even describe. Optimus Yanspinner goes on an adventure looking for the author of the best written story ever. Optimus almost dies many times as he gets lost in the catacombs of Bookholm..
I did not get into the book until I was half way through. The book became fun once the Booklings came along. This a uniquely strange and delirious book. I find it really hard to described because is like nothing I can remember. I figure how can you go wrong with a book about books and a world that loves books.
The biggest reason I had a hard time getting into the book until the middle was because all the strange names and strange descriptions. I also felt that there were times the description was like watching a movie with too much going on at once and not really knowing what was going on. I reread some scenes over and over.
A world of book lovers and writers who write books that become magically dangerous and some that are just normal readable books. How can you not love a world like that if you are avid reader. The book is very different. Am I glad I read it? Yeah I guess I am. It really for someone with an wide open imagination.
