Wish List - June 2009

I don't actually receive many books for review. (Surprise!!!) Most of the books I review on my blog I've bought, swapped, or borrowed from the library. Of course I would love to receive some books I really want to read, and I've decided to be just a teeny tiny bit more proactive about it, rather than my usual, quiet, sitting-in-the-corner-by-myself self, the one who believes that everything runs on a meritocracy.

At the beginning of each month, I will post a list of upcoming books by various publishing companies that I would love to read. I'm not sure how this will work on a month-to-month basis yet (maybe some of my most desired ones will carry over?), but most of the list will be new, and I will update it throughout the month if I am so lucky as to have received it.

Authors and publishers, I would be more than happy to review these books for you, so email me if you'd like. Thank you! :)

(Note: I don't pick wishlisted books lightly. These books are on this list because I am sincerely intrigued and am pretty sure that I will enjoy them.)
