I want this one so badly! :) I LOVED her previous two books.
Enjoy it!!
Its historical fiction set in World War II, that's enough to sell me on the book LOLI also enjoyed her previous book, Between Shades of Gray
I should really get back into Netgalley. I haven't requested a book in weeks!

I don't really do history.
Mod
I'm on a requesting ban! I have way too many to get through.
I love History! It was one of my favorite subjects in school, and I still read plenty of historical fiction/ History books

Hey guys, I have a question.I'm not sure if you already discussed this but,
What is up with that "I wish for it" option?
I tought it is a button you click because you wish you had an option to request it.
I mean, for weaks I clicked on that for so many books I don't even know the number.
Today I got two emails that wishes do come true and I was randomly selected for those two titles.
So I really don't understand, do publishers look at our profiles and statictics or do they really randomly pick reviewers?
Do you get those emails "wishes do come true" and if yes, how often do they come true?
I mean, I am glad I got approved, don't get me wrong, but at this point I don't even know what I wished for...
Mod
Ohh, okay! I guess I missed that email then,Thanks Sarah!
Mod
Thanks! I hope I will! I got
and
.
they've been doing that since October (the granting of wishes)
I feel like I always request books that I really want to read, but they always end up disappointing me.
Mod
Since this new profile thing, I haven't got any approvals.I think my profile sucks by new standards.
How about you guys?
Btw, I am going to my sister's for the weekend and she'll help me create a book blog so I'll finally have one.
Maybe then sth will change.
And as for wishes granted, maybe I am wrong but I noticed I got wishes granted the same day when my review for Soundless got over 40 likes. Not sure if that is a coincidence or not.
I don't know about the new profile affecting my approvals. Since it was introduced, I've only requested books from publishers that have auto-approved me (just got
thanks to that)I'm no longer using NetGalley to find new books. I'm using to request books I already have on my TBR list, so I haven't been requesting a lot from them

Mod
Whenever! Don't have anything scheduled, so you can pick the date
Mod
No, tomorrow is fine! I'm home alone, so there is no one to bother me
Mod
hehe.. I already read See How They Run (its amazing btw)
Oh, I really need to read See How They Run but I've kind of gone and swore myself off ARCs this year...
I requested a book from NetGalley, and now I'm obsessively checking to see if I got it or not... How sad is that?

Which one was it? :)
Tati wrote: "The Impostor Queen"Hope you get it! :)
Oops, sorry, it's The Star-touched Queen (though I do want to read The Impostor Queen)
Can someone please do me a favor and check if on Edelweiss is a book
able for request. The publisher is Simon&Schuster, author Jane Costello.I don't have Edelweiss and I don't know how to use it but am willing to learn if there's a slice chance I could get appreoved (although I think that publisher is hard to get, am I right? ).
ok, thank you Sarah, it's so nice of you that you checked!
Tati wrote: "Oops, sorry, it's The Star-touched Queen (though I do want to read The Impostor Queen)"lol I got super excited to see that one too. I'm pretty hopeful that we will get it since its published by st.martins press and they are usually pretty generous with their arcs.
I'm on an ARC ban at the moment, but I caved for Cabot's The Proposal because I love the Mediator series. If I don't get approved, I'm going to be devastated!

The last three weren't as strong but the last book in the series comes out on the 2nd of Feb and it so good! It's an adult book and takes place 6 years after the sixth book in the series but it's probably my fave of the series.
I really want to get approved for Proposal too since i just read Remembrance (the last book in the series). I am really liking the idea of taking YA books and adding an adult book that takes place years later.
When she did that to the Princess Diaries, I really disliked it
@Jennifer - Let's hope it is as good as Remembrance was then! I like the idea too - as long as things work out how I hoped they did. @Tati - Well, I loathe (see what I did there!) the Princess Diaries series so I don't really care, if I'm being brutally honest., but that's not good for the fans.
Tati wrote: "When she did that to the Princess Diaries, I really disliked it"I agree with you. I couldn't even finish it which is very sad because I adored Princess Diaries back in the days.
