I Get Books ..

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 ending soon because I will be relocating to Frankfurt, Germany in the next month or two. 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 begin learning to speak and read the German language.
