The Vault of Dreamers, by Caragh M. O'Brien (the Birthmarked series) (US only): https://www.netgalley.com/catalog/sho...
(sorry, can't add the covers right now)
This isn't netgalley or edelweiss, it's a blog tour that you can sign up for. I really loved the book so if anyone wants to read it it's a good opportunity ☺

I didn't request it as I haven't read the first one yet. I really want to get my review pile back down to less than ten!
I don't think it is a sequel, I just don't know if the first one is any good so I thought I'd not request it. I have too many review copies anyway!

The first one was really confusing. It jumped around a lot! (like Far From You) The ending was really good though!
The jumpiness is the thing that's putting me off.
Okay, I'm happy with how my netgalley dashboard looks now. It has taken freaking months to get it down to 4 books!

Now I just need to work on my edelweiss account....

Mine was awful at the beginning of the April challenge. I think I was up to about 30 or 32 books? Something like that! Feels like it's taken forever to get it down!

Now I really need to read the Throne of Glass series because Bloomsbury Publishing PIc (UK & ANZ) is one of my auto-approvals, and I just requested Heir of Fire to see what would happen and I just got it! That easy! :D So now I'm gonna read the series. :D

Invitations are when a publisher sends you a pre-approval link to read a specific book. So one of those invitations I got was for
because I was specifically asked to review it by one of the PR companies who were handling the launch ☺

Sometimes. sometimes they send you an invite, and if you click the link it accepts the invite before you even know what book it's for! I got caught out by that once because it was a book i didn't really want to read.
Why would you turn down an invite? That's crazy! Isn't it an honour to be invited to read a book?
And does it send you an invite via email?
And does it send you an invite via email?

However, when clicking on the invite just to see what book it is for means accepting it, then that's not okay (in my opinion). You should be able to see what it's all about and then decided if you want to accept it or not.
I think this one was more than nobody had requested it, so they randomly sent out invites. the problem was it wasn't my sort of book at all. it was this -
Usually invites are good things, but if its a book you don't want to read, its annoying.
I also got an invite for
, and accepted it to find that there was no kindle option, which was als annoying.
