Abi (abi_gr) | 27659 comments I'm hesitant to request it.. It sounds like it can either be good, or a really big mess!

I didn't request it for exactly that reason, but maybe she's improved. she had plenty of room for improvement ha ha!

It looked quiet interesting, so i though i'd give it a go. Her fallen series was just dull though, so i'm really hoping this one is different..
I do have to give it to Lauren Kate though - Her covers are always really pretty.

I'm staying far, far away from Carina too - every book I've read from them has been bad, bad, and even worse.

Netgalley is a way for reviewers to get digital copies of books for free before they are published, in exchange for an honest review.

Go to their site - https://www.netgalley.com/
join for free. In your profile make sure to leave links to your social networking sites - your blog if you have one, goodreads, facebook, twitter etc. Include how many followers you have on each of these, and basically try to sell yourself as a reviewer. Also be sure to include where you live - US, Canada, UK etc, as some books are only available in certain areas.

Once your profile is complete, browse the books available by clicking on 'find titles', and when you see a book you'd like to read click the little green 'request' button on that books page.
It is also a good idea to pick a couple of 'read now' titles to review, as a way to show publishers that if they give you the book, you can be trusted to post the review for it.

Good luck and happy reading ☺

message 290: by Mira (new)

Mira What's Netgalley? And how I can get in on that action? x)


message 291: by Sarah Elizabeth (new)

Sarah Elizabeth (bookworm_sarah) | 90956 comments Mod
I know I've answered that question somewhere before.................I can't find it!

Netgalley is an website where publishers post the books that they are looking for reviews for. You create an account for free, including things like your facebook account, goodreads account, twitter, blog etc, and basically sell yourself as a reviewer.
You then scroll through their available titles, and if you see one you like you submit a request by pressing the 'request' button on the book's page. then you wait to see if your request is accepted or denied. don't worry if you get declined, we all do!
It's often best to download a couple of their 'read now' titles and read and review those so that you can show publishers and authors that if they give you a review copy you will review it.
Oh, the books are either downloadable to your kindle if you have one, or have to be read on your computer using a special version of adobe that you can download for free.
Netgalley is here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
Good luck!

Tati I'm new to Edelweiss, do they e-mail you to tell if you've been approved for a book?


message 294: by Sarah Elizabeth (new)

Sarah Elizabeth (bookworm_sarah) | 90956 comments Mod
sometimes they do, but most of the time they don't. you just have to go back and check your requests basically.


message 295: by Tati (new)

Tati And how do I do that?
