April Review-Copy Clean-Up Challenge ☺

[Abi]

Anybody want to read ? It's been out for a while but i just got a copy from Netgalley, so if anyone wants to read it, it will count for you. :)

I need to read as well, if anyone got approved for that.

[Tati]

Abbie, I got a copy of Storm as well! Would the 5th or the 9th work for you?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I really liked Storm! was even better though, and I think is free on kindle?

[Abi]

I can't do the 5th because it's a saturday, but i could squeeze it in on the 9th. :)

Ooh, thanks! Downloaded it. :)

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I still haven't had an answer for , I think I'd better assume I'm not getting approved.

[Abi]

I probably won't be reading it until the last week in april, so just say if you do get it. :)
Was really shocked that i got it to be honest!

[Abi]

Here's the thread Tatiana: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

[Sarah Elizabeth]

It says US and Canada only on netgalley now!

[Abi]

Does it? Wasn't there when i requested / got approved by it. They're obviously a bit slow adding the flags!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I think it was added before they introduced the flags. it's been on there for a while i think, the flags weren't there when i requested it either.

[Marga]

How will I submit the entry if I read it not as an ARC but others have it as an ARC? :)

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Just put 'buddy read - 'name' has ARC',
So-
Received from:'buddy read - 'Sarah' has ARC',

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Yay! I actually finished a review copy! Feel like I'm so far behind at the moment.

[Marga]

Okay. :) and the entry for the books that I should read first because I have the ARC of the last book in the series? Sorry for so many questions!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Just put 'ARC of third book from edelweiss' or something like that. as long as i can work it out iits fine ☺

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Got to go out for a while guys, Abbie will be on in a bit ☺

[Abi]

Does anyone want to read for the challenge?

[Jalyn]

I'm adding to my list if anybody wants to read it for the challenge :)

[Marga]

Anybody want to read with me? ^_^

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Margarita- I just got that one! I'm not sure when I can fit it in though. Did you have a date in mind?

[Marga]

@Sarah - how about April 14? :)

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I already have 2 buddy reads on the 13th, 14th, and 15th so I don't think I could do it then. How's the 20th?

[Marga]

Apr. 20 is okay with me. :-)

[Sarah Elizabeth]

sorry! Could we possibly do it on the 21st instead?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Margarita - would the 21st be okay?

[Marga]

Sure, no problem. :)

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Great! I'll make a thread ☺

[Dana]

If its atleast 100 pages do graphic novels/comics and childrens books count

[Sarah Elizabeth]

No ☹

[Dana]

lol ok, makes sense was just wondering because im plowing through them today to improve my netgalley ratio.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Does anybody else's review pile feel never-ending?

Mine does! I don't seem to be making a dent in it. :( Wish we could extend the challenge out to two months or something so I can get more read. :)

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I think a few of us are thinking that! I've read loads but have gained so many that I have way more than I started with!

[Emily]

same!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

If people wanted to we could always extend it as it isn't the main group challenge. we could draw one winner at the end of the month, and then start fresh again in May ☺ I think I've got enough review copies to keep going!

[Emily]

do they still count if you don't finish them? I've reviewed it but god this books awful!!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

As long as you've read 25% I'll count it. Sometimes you just can't finish a bad book!

[Emily]

okay thanks, I got too 31%... but I think I would have started pulling my hair out if I had had to read more!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Just adjust the page count to roughly how many pages you read ☺ Glad I didn't give that one a go now! I'm so sick of bad books. Think I'm on number 14 in a row ☹

[Emily]

That sucks! I've enjoyed MOST of the ones I've gotten, other than this and Don't Even Think About It... that was really bad too. Fingers crossed the next ones we read are better!!

[Tati]

Yeah, I'm having such bad luck with my ARCs, it's not even funny... Of the 6 I've finished, I only really enjoyed 1, I think.

So far, I've given up Midnight Witch, Echo Prophecy, and Dark Eden. Waiting in the Sidelines might meet the same fate as well.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I've read 1 good one out of the last 20 I think. I'm beginning to wonder if it's me. It probably made me like more because everything else I've read has been pants.

[Tati]

You keep dangling Sweet Reckoning in front of me, I might have to take a drastic attitude LOL Maybe flying back to England and stealing your Kindle so I can read it.

[Emily]

It's becoming a real problem!

Maybe it's just a crappy book period... hopefully it will pass soon!

I find that after I read a book I like I don't like the next one I read. I've not read that series yet, I've heard mixed reviews!

[Tati]

I've decided to mess up my reading schedule and start , which I couldn't believe it when I got it on NetGalley.
