I work in the science fiction and fantasy section of the World's Biggest Bookstore in Toronto. In addition to my regular duties, I also plan themed endcaps and author interview displays. Once a month I review a book for SF Signal and post New Author Spotlights. I've got a BA in Medieval History from the University of Toronto. Contact me at: jessica.strider@gmail.com

Book Review Requests

***Closed to Review Requests***

I'm taking this year (2012) to read the books on my shelves I haven't read, and to lower my tbr pile. If I'd agreed to review a book for you I will, in the usual time frame (mentioned below), otherwise, I'm closed to review requests for the year - or until this message disappears.

See this page for my review guidelines and contact information.
