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.

My Monday Mailbox & Music Machine (Mar 22/10)

Mailbox


Won?

The Fallen 1: The Fallen and Leviathan by Thomas E. Sniegoski

I have no idea if I won this novel from a contest or not. I totally forgot if I did enter a contest regarding The Fallen. So when I received it, I was a little surprised since it's clearly not for review. Either way, I think it's a pretty sexy cover though!

Music Machine

Title: Magic
Artist/Band: One Way
Language: Korean
My Thoughts: Just recently discovered this band through a good friend of mine. This song definitely gives a break from the usual Kpop style and goes a little more American. An amazing song that I had on for repeat for quite awhile! :D

Since March is Women's History Month, I would like to kindly avert your attention to this link: Young Adult Books Featuring Women From Another Era. There you can find plenty of great young adult novels regarding women in past eras, such as The Season and The Stolen One, that you can read in celebration of this month.

Oh God, OneWay~ My friend and I were hooked on it (and if I listened to it now, I know I'll be hooked again). We joked that the song really did cast its magic on us. XD

Awesome, awesome debut for these guys.

I read the Fallen series when it was originally pubbed . . . seven years ago? I was a fish. I'm exciting that it's getting reprinted, because I think it wasn't finished. I enjoyed it, from what I remember.

I was watching the MV and was constantly distracted by the fact that the actress looks like the latest photoshoot of Moon Geun Young for her new show Cinderella Unni. lol but yeah, I agree that it's totally catchy and 'different', very Americanized

@Liviania: Oh my, 7 years ago? Lol, I was suspecting it to be old. The cover made it quite attractive though!

@Ah Yuan: //googles Cinderella Unni// Oh yea, this is the one where Taecyeon is gonna be in! xD Except I'm not into melodrama. =w=
