Currently reading The Unhoneymooners by Lauren and it's kind of dragging for me but at the same time cute and funny!

I'll ask for it even if I probably won't get it. I still need to write my review for Storm and Fury.

lol I'm up to date. It's one I am fanatic about staying up to date with. :) If I get it or not through NetGalley, I'm still reading it.

Ela wrote: "KC is on some podcasts!"Thank you, Ela! I wish I could get a written form of those because I can't listen to podcasts! Grrr
Though, uh... did she mention when From the Grave is coming out? I might as well be greedy and ask for it all.

I met her this weekend at Apollycon - she is VERY short...I was surprised!

Ela wrote: "Jean wrote: "The Kiss Thief by L.J. Shen is Read Now!!!"When I went to get it, it says "Request""
It showed "Request" for me too Ela...
Jean, are you Auto Approved by that publisher? That might be why is shows "Read Now" for you.

Jean is always being approved on there!
Oh sorry guys, yes, I am Auto Approved for that publisher. Didn't even realize it! Hopefully, your request will be approved!
And it's a shame because I have tons of books from NG that I just can't get to......and now I'm fighting with Amazon to return The Kiss Thief that I bought back in January!
Jean wrote: "The Kiss Thief by L.J. Shen is Read Now!!!"It's KU if you don't get it, and I absolutely LOVED it.
Jean wrote: "And it's a shame because I have tons of books from NG that I just can't get to......and now I'm fighting with Amazon to return The Kiss Thief that I bought back in January!"I was confused as to why it just popped up on there now when it was released in January. I actually already read it...I just clicked on it out of curiousity.
I've notice they do that a lot but usually with books they need ratings on.
Ela wrote: "I've notice they do that a lot but usually with books they need ratings on."That makes sense. But yeah this one has 1700 ratings and a high average...oh well.
I got it! What an easy review since I read the book and loved it.
Wow, that was a quick approval!! And you loved it? Guess I'll have to move it up on my TBR!
Jean wrote: "Wow, that was a quick approval!! And you loved it? Guess I'll have to move it up on my TBR!"I read it when it first came out!
It does Ela! Just requested it! Thank you!

I get a similar message every single time I try for an ARC!
I often get that message from that same publisher, yet others just approve easily. Guess it all depends on the audience they are going for....assholes!!!!
I get that message too for a lot of books. There really seems to be no rhyme or reason. I've gotten a book from an author and then declined another book by the same author. My percentage rating is so low on NG for the amount of books approved and ones I've read and reviewed so I'm sometimes surprised when I do get a good one! I'm afraid they're gonna cut me off at some point if i don't read more of the approvals. I usually read the books by more popular authors right away and submit review. Just keep requesting, that's what I did and eventually got auto approved to some publishers.

I got that today too, for the Briggs book. Oh well.
Yep, the Briggs book! AND the one I just requested that sounded really good.
I was denied the Briggs book too. And a P. Dangelico book (Nothing but Trouble) which I really WANTED!! I've gotten other books by her from NG and reviewed them. See, no rhyme or reason....I am just finishing What the Wind Knows by Amy Harmon. It is AMAZING AND HEARTBREAKING! It's still available for request if anyone is interested!
For anyone who loved The Martian.... there's one on NG right now for request which looks really good!!!
