Mailbox Monday! Lots & Lots to Read!

Over the past couple of days I have received several review requests! I think it's due to the fact that I've been bored, so I've been roaming around goodreads.com and bookblogs.com and posting my information! Either way, I'm happy to receive review requests, because I never know what I'm going to get, and I love all the different genres of novels that authors send me!


Next on my list to read and review:

The Ghosts of Melrose by Buzz Malone

During the past week I have received:

Replica by Lexi Dick
The Kult by Shaun Jeffrey
Escaping Innocence by Joe Perrone
Feuding Hearts by Shari Richardson
God Complex by Trevor Hallam
On Dark Shres: The Lady by J.A. Clement
Doorway of the Triquetra by Lenore Wolfe
Amanda in Arabia by Darlene Foster
Paradox: The Angels are Here by Patti Roberts
Her Dear and Loving Husband by Meridith Allard
True Intentions by Lissa Kuehne
The Final Companion of Lady Holmeshire by Debra Brown
Magic By Moonlight by D.L. Cocchio

And there are a couple more that will be arriving by mail. I know it seems like a ton of books to read and review, but I read three and sometimes four books per week. I'm a substitute teacher and I tutor two students during their online classes at school, so I have around eight hours per day where I am doing absolutely nothing, so I read! As a sub there is really nothing for me to do but give students their work, and tell them what to do. And tutoring is easy, because it's an online course that two students who were expelled last year need to take, so basically I'm there to babysit.

I was excited to receive a couple of review requests for middle grade levels! I will be teaching 7th grade English in the next couple of months, and I'm excited to see what's out there for students to read at the 7th and 8th grade level.

Finally, I will be doing another giveaway in the next couple of days. N. Gemini Sasson has offered to provide two of her novels from The Bruce Trilogy to two of my blog followers who enter the giveaway. I have no doubt that my followers will enjoy her novels. I've read three of her novels so far, and I'm patiently waiting for the third novel in The Bruce Trilogy to be completed!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend!

  1. Hi Kimberly,
    Thanks for stopping by What She Read, and congrats on your new job, new life! I too am an English teacher, so I think we should stay in touch, esp. about books! Ninth grade seems to be where I wind up most often, so I'm always looking for titles that span 5th-12th grade reading levels, and I keep a list of my Y.A. & middle grade reviews in the tabs on my blog. Do you have a similar list here?
    Anyhoo, if you'd like to follow back, that'd be swell, and I'm definitely following here...

    FYI: Something has been wrong with Blogger for the past few days, such that unless you switch to "pop-up" comments, many readers can't simply post comments by choosing our Goggle accounts, even if we're already logged in. (I heard about the fix mentioned above during Armchair BEA last week, and just thought you might like to know...)
