Stop, Drop, and Read!: My Monday Mailbox & Music Machine (Feb 22/10)

Notice for Review Requests

I have been receiving some review requests over the past few months. However, I have been quite busy with my personal and school life to continue actively reviewing novels. I do read every request that has been sent but I apologize in advance that I do not reply to them all. I have accumulated a pile I have yet to go through and I try to work with what I have instead rather than taking on more.

If I do take on a request, I will forewarn that it may take a couple of months before I get around to it.

In the meantime, Stop, Drop, and Read! serves as an archive book review blog. Once in awhile when I have time, a new review will go up.

Review

Still Sucks to Be Me by Kimberly Pauley

Won

I So Don't Do Spooky by Barrie Summy

Definitely can't wait to get started on Still Sucks to Be Me once I am done with most of my current reads! And I So Don't Do Spooky looks so cute!

Title: I Did It For Love
Artist/Band: BoA
Language: English
My Thoughts: I actually am not a BoA fan. She is a popular Korean artist who has been around for a few years now and have penetrated not only the Korean music industry, but the Japanese's as well. And just last year, she debuted her new English album in America.

Although I don't like her Korean and Japanese songs so much, I am actually a fan of her English album. I Did It For Love is one of the many songs on it that I find extremely catchy and addicting.

Ah Yuan // wingstodust said...: Huh, I could have sworn I already commented, but I guess not...

Anyhow, yeah, I was never a big fan of BoA's japanese or korean songs either, so I was surprised that I really enjoyed her English album. I think it's the techno stuff she had going on? Anyhow, my favourites were Did Ya and Energetic in that album. =D Though Did It For Love is not bad either. =D; February 22, 2010 at 5:01 PM
