About Me

My Photo
Jessica Strider
Toronto, Ontario, Canada
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. From September 2010 until December 2012 I contributed book reviews and New Author Spotlight posts to SF Signal. I've got a BA in Medieval History from the University of Toronto. I'm a long time crafter and have been card crafting for a few years, first using photos I took and now using lots of stamps and fun embellishments. 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.
