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 Dark Divine Nailpolishes

Such an awesome week! xD I was planning to buy A Match Made in High School but I got lucky and won it instead! It's also signed! :D

Which book do you want to see the review for most out of the above?

~~~

Music Machine

Title: Heartbeat
Artist/Band: 2PM
Language: Korean
My Thoughts: Heartbeat is a song you have to listen to a couple of times over before it starts getting addicting (in my experience).

2PM is one of my top favourite bands! When they debuted, I kept listening to them over and over (like most songs I get attached to easily). I am dying for another MV by them!

Happy reading Diana! :D
