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.

Trailer Tuesday: The Thirteenth Chime by Emma Michaels

Title: The Thirteenth Chime
Author: Emma Michaels
Description: No one knew of its existence until it was removed from the attic upstairs.

In a beautiful house that overlooks the sea, an antique clock has the power to change the course of their lives.

The power the clock resonates will not only force Destiny and ex-boyfriend David on a journey into the depths of one man's mind long dead, but into the mind of a man filled with hatred and bent on revenge.

With the only clues to the nature of the clock having disappeared into the sea, Destiny and David must retrace the steps the man had taken into the darkness, before they fall prey to the trap he had set in motion over half a century ago.

Hatred never dies.


I recently have been seeing this book cover. I am quite intrigued by the story line. Hopefully I will have a chance to read it!

I've seen this one around too.

How do you pick out a book trailer every week?

I generally go on Youtube and type in "young adult novel book trailer" and hope for a new result.

I used to take it from http://bookscreening.com/ but they haven't really been updating lately.

It is hard to believe that anything [B][URL=http://www.mbtplus.com/]mbt shoes review[/URL][/B] so inherently ugly as the MBT shoe could ever catch on [U]mbt sneakers[/U] with either the younger generation or the fitness fanatics but it has. [B]MBT shoes[/B] The shoes or I suppose they should be called trainers have thick curved soles and wide straps across the front. Currently [U][B]mbt sandals[/U][/B] the are available in over 20 countries and have sold more than a million pairs a year. Considering that they have a price tag of around $200 it is even [B]MBT[/B] more remarkable.

MBT shoes, which stand for Masai [B]discount mbt shoes[/B] Barefoot Technology were invented by Karl Muller a Swiss engineer. He [B]mbt sandals[/B] suffered back and knee problems but on a trip to Korea he noticed [U][B]mbt shoes review[/U][/B] that after walking barefoot through paddy fields the symptoms were relieved. With further [U]mbt sandals[/U] research he discovered that the Masai tribesmen from Kenya did not suffer back problems [B]mbt shoes sale[/B] and had perfect posture. Putting these two facts together he decided that [U]discount mbt shoes[/U] the answer was because they were walking on soft surfaces [U]mbt shoes review[/U] which yielded as they trod on them. This [U]mbt shoes sale[/U] was unlike in Europe and America where we tend to walk on firm surfaces such as sidewalks.

The first MBT was manufactured in 1996 and soon [U][B]mbt sandals[/U][/B] became popular on continental Europe. Since then many celebrities have [B]MBT[/B] been seen sporting MBTs. The concept basically is that the [U][B]mbt shoes sale[/U][/B] curved sole creates instability as you walk, which [U][B]discount mbt shoes[/U][/B] mimics the effect of walking barefoot. To counteract this the foot uses muscle to counter this [B][URL=http://www.mbtplus.com/]mbt sneakers[/URL][/B] and creates a natural body training effect.

The makers claim that this natural instability [B]mbt shoes cheap[/B] strengthens the muscles, increases muscle activity, calorie [B]mbt shoes sale[/B] burn and blood circulation. They also say that it reduces the shock forces [U]mbt shoes best prices[/U] on joints which help prevent a variety of degenerative muscular and skeletal problems [U][B]MBT[/U][/B] including back pain.
