Hi there – love your blog, I was wondering if you ever are hiring?
Hi Deb, thank you! No, not hiring at the moment 🙂
Hi, my name is Paula Howard and am a school librarian in a K-8 Catholic School. I have been using your reviews and book suggestions to help add books to my middle school section. I am interested in a vitural school visit but the links won’t work.
Hi Paula, sorry about that! I’m emailing you now.
I’m a writer honing my own contemporary middle grade novels (maybe I’ll see one on your amazing site one day!). I had to drop a note to let you know how much I enjoy your lists, and how often I use them for research! Thanks, Afoma, for sharing your love for kidlit with the world!
Hello
Are you still looking for reviewers?
Best, Jacqueline
Hi Jacqueline,
No, not at this time – thank you!
Asalam u alekum
I came across your page while googling.
I’ve authored two Muslim romance novels, “With All My Heart” and “Shuttered Destiny,” both set in the fictional small town of Maren Springs.
I’m keen to have you review them. Could you kindly inform me of the application process? Thank you.
Warm regards,
Aasia Khan
Hi Aasia, all the info is on this page 🙂
