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.

I have already reviewed Emma back in April so you can click here to see its review. It's a lovely manga based in Victorian England about a sweet maid named Emma who falls in love with the aristocrat named William.

Also, already reviewed Why I Let My Hair Grow Out! I absolutely love this novel and am so glad to get my own copy (signed too!). Reading it a year later, IT IS STILL AN AMAZING, LAUGH-OUT-LOUD READ! You can see one of my older reviews of it
here. Yea, not the best review but still a fab novel!

Ooh Venus Cappriccio. I've read a little bit and want to buy them- but can't find them anywhere. I've been wondering about Why I Let My Hair Grow Out. Maybe I'll go see if I can get it from my library if you like it so much...
