The Reading Room

Welcome to The Reading Room Blog. My purpose is to share what I've read and reviews of those books. I will include posts on upcoming books to help readers keep abreast of new publications and their dates. I will also have author interviews and author related pieces to enrich the reading experience of that particular author's works. I read mostly mystery/crime and psychological thrillers.
