Chad’s comments from the Edelweiss & Netgalley Reviewers group.

Space Bandits by Mark Millar and Matteo Scalera

Thelma and Louise in space. ★★★★ My review

Bonnie wrote: "The strange thing is, Poisoned Pen also sent a gift, a calligraphy pen, along with the books. They never asked for payment. Is this allowed?"

I don't see why not. They didn't ask for anything in return. As long as you review all your books honestly, I wouldn't sweat it.

Killer Groove by Ollie Masters & Eoin Marron

A down on his luck musician is inspired by killing people and becomes a hitman. ★★★ My review

War and Peas: Funny Comics for Dirty Lovers by Jonathan Kunz & Elizabeth Pich

Some oft-kilter, 4 panel web comics. ★★★★ My review

Terry wrote: "I'm starting An Orchestra of Minorities by Chigozie Obioma tonight. A back list read. Awaiting word on a couple of galleys."

Terry, Did you create a new GR account? I got a friend request from you today and wanted to make sure it was actually you and not a scammer since we were already GR friends.

You can find me under Chad Harmon. I sent everyone above a friend invite.

Criss Cross by James Patterson

Patterson's 27th Alex Cross novel. For some reason, he released this more or less the same time as Ali Cross. ★★★ My review

Tracy Marie wrote: "OMG, I know you said you read a lot of books, but wow. Seriously. Do you never watch TV?"

I watch some but I do read for an hour or 2 every night after my wife goes to bed.

Tracy Marie wrote: "oh wow Chad, I wish I was able to put that many books under my belt in a year. I would be able to get a lot of backreads done."

I lot of that 250 will be graphic novels which I can typically read in a few hours.

My personal reading goal for the year is a 1,000 books total which sounds crazy but I've actually made it the last 2 years.

I've committed to 250 books. Fingers crossed I get approved for that many.

Tracy Marie has created a reading challenge for 2020 that consists of Edelweiss and Negalley Arc reads.

You can find this challenge on our home page, but here is the link to make things a bit easier.

Please consider in joining us on this yearly challenge.

Sorry Tracy. I completely missed this. I would have downloaded the image and then uploaded it where it needed to go just like you probably did.

Green Lantern: Legacy by Minh Lê

A DC Zoom book written for middle schoolers but can be enjoyed by anyone. ★★★★★

I can put it up if you need me to Tracy Marie.

Ali Cross by James Patterson

Patterson has written a book geared towards children featuring the son of Alex Cross. ★★★★ My review

Terry wrote: "I've uploaded the two pictures that I finally, after much prodding. ;-), got my daughter to create in photoshop for us. Hopefully, they are to your liking and you choose one to use for our group ma..."

I like the purple and blue one.

Bonnie wrote: "I am trying to put my Netgalley badges in my Profile, and it won't let me put them in the About Me section. It says putting URLs in the About Me section has been temporarily disabled, and it's said..."

Unfortunately, it's been disabled for months because Goodreads hasn't figured out how to keep scammers and pornographers off their site. Instead of fixing the problem, they've just disabled the feature. GR has been doing this off and on for years so I don't have an answer for you but to be patient and keep trying.

Diana: Princess of the Amazons

A middle grade graphic novel about Wonder Woman as a young girl bored growing up on an island of immortal women. ★★★ My Review

I don't have a Fire tablet, but an ACSM file can only be read through Adobe Digital Editions. You either need to install that on the tablet or open the file in ADE and then transfer the resulting ebook / PDF to your tablet.

Went on a bit of a binge over the holiday.
