I really like Alex Finlay so keen to hear what you think of Parents weekend when you get round to it
Definitely. This was my last chance with the author as I hadn't really loved any of her previous ones.
That's really interesting Vicki. I've never really vibes with her until this one which I think is her best
I have read both Richard Osman novels and loved them both so much. Will be interested to see what you think of them. I don't know how well known he is over in America but in the UK he is the darling of the nation and much loved TV presenter/producer who has now turned his hand to writing.

Yeah I am really looking forward to it. I really enjoyed
so I am hoping for a similar result here
I just picked up
from my library on Overdrive so looking forward to reading that after hearing so much about it on here
Me too, on another forum people have books on their NG shelf from 2016, that gives me 'The Fear'
It is when a publisher contacts you directly and offers you the chance to read a book without you needing to request it.So they pro-actively seek you out rather than you needing to go looking. I only had one from a publisher where I had read a few of their books recently
How long have you been on NG? 4 MonthsHow many books have you read/reviewed? 59
What is your current review ratio? 87% (but have reviewed all books I have read) once I review the 9 I have on my shelf I will be at 100%
As a rough guess, how many books do you get approved from as a percentage of total books requested? Would guess about 9 out of 10 books requested are approved
How many or how often do you get books you 'wished' for? I have had two wishes granted so far out of 4 books wished for.
How many or how often do you get offered widgets? Only been offered one (although people seem to be offered them all the time)
How many, if any, publishers are you auto-approved for? None so far
As a relative newbie to NG this year, I am curious to see where everyone else is in relation to their Netgalley journey. Would be interested if you could answer the following questions:How long have you been on NG?
How many books have you read/reviewed?
What is your current review ratio?
As a rough guess, how many books do you get approved from as a percentage of total books requested?
How many or how often do you get books you 'wished' for?
How many or how often do you get offered widgets?
How many, if any, publishers are you auto-approved for?
Copy and paste the questions if you want and let us all know where you are at.
I have a rule where I review a book immediately after reading it. I never move onto the next one without reviewing the one I have just read.I am new to NG this year so am reading the majority of my books from NG at the moment to build up my profile. I am thankfully at the point now where I am getting approved for 99% of books which I requested.
I have also received two books I have 'wished' for and received one widget. Would love to be auto-approved for some publishers but hopefully that will just come in time.
I have read 15 Netgalley books this month. I may possibly make it 16 by the end of the day but I don't think so.Currently have 9 TBR however they all publish next year so no rush for them but I am trying to clear them all for New Year as I would like a clear shelf for January 1st 2022.
Current ratio: 87% however I have reviewed all books I have read so when I get through my remaining 9 I will be at 100% (hopefully by the end of the year)
No sign of it for me but will look forward to reading your reviews
Welcome KarenK2
Hi Vicki. I'm in the UK so sometimes I don't have access to the same books as you guys in the US do (and vice versa). Had a look for this one and I can't access but hopefully get a Buddy Read with you soon
Just been approved for the new Linwood Barclay novel, Take Your Breath Away
Seems like we all broadly agreed on the book. Despite the books shortcomings, I really enjoyed the buddy read with you. Looking forward to the next one I can participate in
