Update (As of February 9, 2012)

Hi everyone! Things have been a wee bit hectic with prelims coming soon. I've read loads of books meanwhile, and hope to post more reviews soon rather than leaving them in Draftsland. Thanks for all your support and encouragement. Authors/publicists: I'm currently not accepting any review requests as stated in the updated policy, but I do so appreciate that you consider this blog a worthy avenue for your books.

16 reviews! How did you read all those books? lol

Shelley said...

Woo hoo! You go girl! Great job.

Liyana said...

Thanks! I read those books for the 48hour book challenge, where we had to read for 48 hours. :D

Susan @ Reading Upside Down said...

Well done. I can't believe how much you've been able to achieve. Congratulations!

I still have to write up my final post. I've managed a few challenges and some other tasks, but only managed to put in about 10 hours over the weekend. I'm hoping to keep up the momentum and get some more things crossed off my to do list during the week.
