This challenge is helping me so much. I used to think I'd never get all of my Netgalle..."

I agree. It's good to be among like-minded people who get bogged down in NetGalley and need a push to get the reviews done.

That concept sounds so good. Too bad it was disappointing.

Posted my only slightly ranty review of Sweet Resolve by Jill Sanders

Alison, that's still a very good, thoughtful review. I'm sure the publishers appreciate it as helpful even when it's not very flattering.

Another review done!
