Great job, Amanda, Myst, Karen, and Caron in completing some more reviews. Cross some more off the list!Congrats, Sonia. You deserve it after waiting for 4 years!
Great job on submitting more reviews, Alison, Lara, and Caron!
Another good book in this hockey romance series. I'm happy to have finally read it.

Review: Zack Review
Oh really, Myst? Can you share the Harlequin link? (like I need another way to find free books!)
I can't tell from the sign-up...what is Wobble?
Another one off the books! Didn't love it, but I'm so happy and relieved to have finally finished it.

Review: No Weddings Review
It's the emails that get me. Even if I only order 3-4 books from the emails each month, then if I don't read more than that, my number goes up. My major problem is that when I first signed up, I requested tons of books, not really thinking about how long it would take to read/review them. Since I sent my reviews right away (at first), I guess I got put on the "we like her" list, so now I'm auto-approved for a couple of my favorite publishers. I let myself get talked into more books than I could read, falling further and further behind.
Limiting yourself within your regular reading capacity is the best idea, I think. Don't let yourself get out of control or you'll soon start feeling guilty (like I do) about not contributing as well or as quickly as you should. And, of course, you'll be able to read the books later when they are released. It's not like you'll be missing anything. :)
Interesting, Xayuru, since it has a fairly high rating of 4.05 stars, with lots of rave reviews. But I'm usually like you and don't agree with the hype.
And we are such easy targets! *sigh*
LOL, Alison, true confessions. I know how you feel; it's happened to me more than once.
Good reviews, Kazen and Karsyn, even though both have such different ratings. I would think the publishers/authors would find them both very helpful.I love this challenge! It's making me feel less alone about receiving NetGalley books and reading/reviewing them with no feedback or acknowledgement.
LOL, I saw that same email, Myst. But I was feeling strong today and deleted it before I had a chance to add anything to my list. I was especially tempted by the Kelly Jamieson one though, since I like her.
Good job, Delitealex. Glad you're joining us, Madeline. But be warned that most of us haven't made a lot of progress yet. But we're definitely a good cheering section for when you finish reviews and improve your ratio.
I'm already ahead of the game--having doubled the number of reviews over what I did last month! And still plenty of time left. I'm on a roll!

Wow, Lara, that's great! Your ratio must have increased from the beginning of the month to the end, right?
Good start, Margaret and Amanda. Every little bit helps!
Thanks for the encouragement. Somehow lately I've been wanting to read only library books, so I really need to focus on my NetGalley ones.
Well, I feel that I showed great restraint by only adding 2 books this month. However, I only completed one book/review, so I slipped slightly. *sigh* But I feel that this challenge is allowing me to focus on what I have and what's coming up.NetGalley Challenge – April
