Stop, Drop, and Read!: In My Mailbox

Notice for Review Requests

I receive review requests weekly. However, my personal schedule is hectic and I no longer review actively. (I also manage another blog called The Toronto Cafe and Food Blog). I do read every request sent but I apologize in advance that I do not reply to them all.

If I do take on a request, I will forewarn that it may take some time before I can review it. I am now looking to review adult fiction and self-help books instead of young adult fiction because I have grown out of it. If you are to request a review for either adult fiction or self-help, I will more likely to give it a shot.

In the meantime, Stop, Drop, and Read! serves as an archive book review blog. When I have the time, I may post a review. Thank you for understanding.

The Received

Alyzon Whitestarr by Isobelle Carmody
The Undomestic Goddess by Sophie Kinsella

I have been telling myself to get started with Melissa Walker's novels for months. Although I follow her through her blog for quite awhile now, I have never read any of her books. So I decided to request all of the Violet series and got the first one today. I really want to read Lovestruck Summer though. Oh! And she just got married! Go over to her blog and give her your congratulations!

The Book Blogger Appreciation Week is now opened for nominations. So go check it out and nominate your favourite book blog here!

I'd like to thank Wdebo from The Electrical Book Cafe for awarding me with Let's Be Friends Award and #1 Blogger Award! You're so sweet!
