Welcome

A Bookaholic, Pro-life, Conservative, Catholic, with Asperger's, who reads a lot. These are the ramblings of the books I read or read aloud to my energetic Autistic 11yo. I love reading almost any book from classics to mysteries to fantasy to ARCs. I sometimes go through stages of "genre love", get addicted to manga and graphic novels or get caught up in reading ARCs, but you'll find I read a wide variety of books, both fiction and non-fiction. I tend to post a lot of reviews of juvenile/teen books but I still do a lot of adult reviews as well. I read well over 200 books a year, but haven't made it to 300 yet!

Contest: I, robot (No, not that one)


Welcome back to my bi-weekly contests!

This time I am giving away an ARC of a book with a very familliar title but if you look closely there is a slight difference to the one you are thinking of. This is an ARC in wonderful condition called I, robot by Howard S. Smith. I personally only read a few chapters of the book as I found it to be too much sci-fi and military for my tastes. But don't just listen to me! It has an average rating of 4 stars on amazon!

Contest will run until Jan. 22, with the winner randomly chosen and announced on Jan. 23. This contest is open to US and Canada only. Sorry, but International postage is too expensive for me.

To enter:

Please try to leave all your responses in one comment.

1) You must be a follower (over in the right bar) and let me know you are in your comment.

2) Leave your email address (if it is not already in your profile.)

3) +2 Tweet or blog (no sidebars) about this contest and leave me the link.

4) +1 If you were given a robot for your home with artificial intelligence what one function would you want it to perform for you or your family?

Here is the publisher's summary:

North Korea has once more started up its nuclear program. A nuclear-tipped missile launches south of Pyongyang, flies over Tokyo and explodes in a mushroom-cloud firestorm offshore. Police Inspector Haruto Suzuki investigates the death of a "westerner." Clues lead him to Mikiyasu Industries - a conglomerate producing Japan's most advanced industrial robots. Terrorist rockets from Lebanon continue to rain down on Israel. The rigid, by-the-rules-only Inspector Suzuki is thrown from his murder investigation into an arms deal that will change the face of the earth, and for the first time in his life, into love and happiness. Will the love one man has for a woman save our world or destroy it?
