I receive a fair number of books to review each month, so I thought I should do what several magazines and other publications do; list those books that have arrived in my mailbox so you know that this is the pool of books from which I will be reading and reviewing on my blog.
I should point out that (sadly!), my book reviewing days may be (possibly) ending soon because I will be relocating to Frankfurt, Germany in two weeks. According to my experiences, postage to Germany is at least three times what it is to anywhere in the USA, and I get an impressive headache when I read electronic PDFs, so unless the publishers decide I am worth the extra cost of shipping a hard copy of their books to Germany, I doubt I will be receiving (m)any more books for review after I leave. In that case, here's hoping that I receive a substantial pile of books to bring with me so I can review them on my blog for the next few months while I wait to begin taking German language classes in January.
