Kim, Read Now is great and is how I started out! Netgalley let's you keep ..."

Elaine, that is really good to know. A few times I have paid for a book that is on Net Galley just to not take on the pressure of a timely review.

[Janet , Moderator]

Ok. I have Netgalley reads from months ago, long after they've been archived, I still read and review them. Read Now is ok but very rarely find great titles there. Don't pressure yourself, books sell all the time, positive reviews betters the odds of sales, obviously. And publishers prefer if you review on Amazon more than anywhere else. I post the same review on GR, Amazon and Booklikes.

[Christine]

I wonder if they are not tougher in the US? Anyone know?

Didn't you say though that the Net Galley cops have been after you a bit, Janet?

[David]

Ty's doing really well. His first book is currently number 1 in the US free thriller chart.

[Janet , Moderator]

Had an email once asking if all was ok because I had had a lot of approvals and hadn't done much feedback. Much better now. In the beginning I requested a lot, never expected to as many approvals as I did.

[Janet , Moderator]

Congrats, Ty, on your no. 1 position in the US.

[Ty]

Janet wrote: "Congrats, Ty, on your no. 1 position in the US."


Thank you. Much as I would like to raise one in toast, it's no 1 only on the free list.

Still, a number 1 is a number 1 I suppose.

Chris,

Go to Amazon -> my account -> manage content.

On the left hand side you will see boxes and if you click on a title box it will give you the option to delete.

This will delete from the cloud too.

But be warned, if you buy the same title again, you will have to pay for it

The return option on Amazon is a double edged sword since it can get misused and that hurts authors.

[Jean]

DianeAlice, welcome back. So very sorry to hear about your beloved cat. It's painful to lose a furry family member. Take care.

[Sean, Moderator]

DianeAlice

My cats are my children, and it break my heart when you lose a family member.

So sorry, my thoughts are with you x

congrats Ty!

[Heather]

Happy Monday everyone. I hope you all had a lovely weekend. Good news about your book Ty. I hope it has resulted in a good number of sales at the end of the free period. :)

[Kath]

I've had one or two books from Netgalley but I never keep a TBR list - I only download what I'm ready to read. I hate that feeling of someone (or something) breathing down my neck.

This is very wise, Kath

[Andrew]

It is wise, Kath. Oh would be that I were so bright!

I have a massive TBR list, and like a kid in a sweetshop, will happily download even more. There really ought to be more hours in a day - I shall write a letter!

[Skye]

Andrew: It's far worse with me: I buy and pay quite a bit, only to have brand new books all over my place.

[Sharon]

[Skye]

[Sharon]

I am with you Andrew - I also have a massive TBR list, because otherwise I forget what I want to read...I think your letter should be a petition. I will sign it. 8:D

Sounds like fun. I miss that now my kids are grown up. What book are they representing? :)

[Sean, Moderator]

Know the feeling Sharon.

After 2-3 weeks resting from a bad virus, played on Sunday, three sets of doubles, was a little stiff for two days.(lost 6-3 3-6 6-3)

Played three tight sets yesterday, again a little stiff, although won 4-6 7-5 7-6 (7 points to 5)

Sunday morning will be my first singles this year !

Need to get my fitness back and it is harder when you get older.

Next month will be the start of all the leagues.

Monday is men's night, Thursday is external league.

Wednesday night is on a private court on a hard court in spring, then grass in the summer.

Although still struggling with the virus, how is your cold/virus now

[Jean]

It should be a holiday! Everyone take the day off! Stay home and read! If only, right?

Now you're going to have to advise us of her response! I read that book two years ago and don't recall a mistake.

[Skye]

I might like to read that.

PIFM for April is up. Book Pals for April is up. David and Ty are in jail. Or was that the doghouse?

[[deleted user]]
