You got me curious :)
Well, if you can't read it, I guess just click on 'review' on NG and leave the publisher a note. I think there's a dialog box at the bo..."
I emailed NetGalley and received a reply just a little while ago. They have had many requests to have the format shown BEFORE you request it, so she's adding my suggestion to the mix! But she also said the publisher hasn't allowed kindle download for one reason or another. I also emailed the publisher for a hard copy so whether I get that or not is another story :) We will see...

Sorry Tien, I don't remember. Just that it worked, although I couldn't change font size so it was a bit clunky. Generally I prefer to read books in pdf format on my iPad.
Tim Cope has a new, young readers edition of his amazing Eurasian adventure being published in September - Tim & Tigon A Man, A dog, An Epic Adventure in the Land of the Nomads.
He's also putting together a book tour for schools (not just Victoria), so if you know of a school that would be interested, you can contact him via Facebook.

Yes that would be good Marianne - do you want to add to the database? Then I'll add to our Bookshelf :)
Brenda wrote: "Thanks Marianne :) I hope it comes out in a different format as well!"Possibly later, she said, but not for a few months at least. I've asked the library to acquire it...
Brenda wrote: "Good :) Let me know when it becomes available if I don't know already please.."will do

New book Darkness for Light by Emma Viskic is currently up for review on Netgalley UK for anyone interested.Not sure if being published here in Dec 2019 (Netgalley) or June 2020 (Goodreads)
I think GR pub date usually reflects US ones? NG would probably reflect what publishers put up there so if it's available from Aussie pub, it'll be the Aussie pub date :)

Sorry to hear that Brenda. I’ve never had a problem with that publisher, wonder if they have that one geo restricted for some reason.I haven’t requested it myself, sitting on the fence because I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed with all the books I WANT to read, let alone the ones I’ve requested.

I've got this on my list to buy next year for our school library - we have the first 2 books which have been popular
Can't believe I haven't seen any mention of this at my libraries! I don't think it's been mentioned here either, but The Best Kind of Beautiful by Brisbane author, Frances Whiting, was released on October 29th.
The Daughter of Victory Lights by Kerri Turner Historical Fiction | 20 Jan '20
And just look at that gorgeous cover!
PS: I believe it's available on NG - I'll come back & let you know what format it's in, Brenda ;)
Edit: you can send to kindle
