Book Reviews: 8 Books, Various Genres (Part 2)

As I've mentioned in the first part of my self-imposed reading challenge for this year, my reviews may or may not readily coincide with your own perspective and literary taste in books. I have done this to thoroughly study each book I receive from the book sites I've joined last year, and, of course, to also enjoy the book's special literary flavor as I digest its words and peruse its tale.

I love to schedule things in advance. This is why most of the books that I plan to read for this year have already been scheduled for January up to March. I have set free days so I could easily add the other books that I hope to get from the book sites and also those that I plan to buy at a nearby bookstore. I've also scheduled a few months of rest. However, as a bookworm, I'm not sure if I could steer away from books (whether online or store-bought) for a whole month. So, that schedule for the book-free months for this year is still tentative -- as of now. That's the only schedule that I'm planning to tweak. :-)

Although I often cherish the books I've read, and appreciate the efforts the authors put in, just like most readers, I have my own (unbiased) views for each.
