Net Galley

Nancy Unless you have a blog with 500+ followers and post regularly and your posts generate comments and retweets, you probably won't get a book from Harlequin.
Char Oh my gosh, what was I thinking yesterday?
Dark Screams anthologies, Halloween Carnival anthologies.
Someone needs to block Net Galley and Edelweiss from my browser! I'll have to hire someone to go and post the reviews for me so I don't accidentally see what they have on offer.

Hahaha, I am finally getting to laugh at you, Char! It's almost always me doing this!
Kenneth McKinley Oh, you turds! And I was doing so good too! GRRR

Did you just fall into the black hole that is Netgalley?! Back away while you can.
Laurie (barksbooks) @Lena Harlequin finally approved me for a book earlier this summer and I felt so special but it turned out to be only 1/3 of the book! I wasn't feeling so special after that, only annoyed. The author was super kind and mailed me a hard copy which I still need to finish . . .
Lena Oh that was nice. Damn Harlequin!

Too late. I was sucked in for four more books. I take the blame off of my shoulders and place it squarely on yours.
Lena It's only right.
Char Yep. Why should you escape book free, Ken, when all the rest of us are burdened? ;)

I swear if I didn't switch over from buying physical books to downloading most everything a few years ago, my house would've ended up on an episode of Hoarders!
Lena Lol, I just recently switched back.
Laurie (barksbooks) Lena wrote: "Lol, I just recently switched back."

I do both. It's ridiculous!

I'm tough, I can take it :) We tried to warn you . . .
Char Both my physical and electronic shelves are overflowing.

Yet, I'm still planning on going to that book festival next month. Yep-that's right, even though I already own more books than I can possibly read in what's left of my life I am going to go and enthusiastically buy more!

My name is Charlene and I'm a bookaholic.
Kat Hey, what book festival and where? I'm a bookaholic too!
Teri I'm right there with you guys. Just donated a large box of books to the library. The bi-annual library sale starts tomorrow - guess where I'm going? It's a vicious, yet totally necessary cycle.
Kenneth McKinley The problem with me is that I buy a crap-ton of books, but none of them ever make it to a garage sale or donated to a library. It's like I can't part with ANY of them. My kids, who like to run around here rough housing with reckless abandon, know that I'll rip their limbs off one by one if they as so much touch one of my books with anything other than extreme care. Sigh!
Lena Kids need there own books. Kids hands are always sticky.

My kids are outfitted with shock collars. You'd be surprised at how effective it is. It's simply a matter of voltage. ;-)
Lena And tracking devices. Never forget tracking devices, it's amazing what they can get into and how far.

Walked away without buying a single book - not by choice, but because I was running late for an appointment. First time that's happened!

No doubt about that.
Lena UPDATED LIST
Since we are confessing our book issues...
I recently discovered these:
https://darkregions.com
http://subterraneanpress.com
http://www.earthlingpub.com/books.php
http://tartaruspress.com/hardbacks.html
http://www.cemeterydance.com/cemetery...

I've bought two books in two days...
I've heard not eating is, like, the best diet.
I just need coffee and books.
Picture me skinny with a cinnamon dolce and my gorgeous books.

Ooooooh thanks for the links!
Lena Your welcome... even if your budget curses me.
Char I would love that Swan Song so much, there are no words.
Lena Make that three...
Kenneth McKinley Ahem. Got room for one more in that box?
Lena How many did you buy, lol?
Kenneth McKinley I've lost count. I've been like a drunken sailor on shore leave lately, when it comes to buying books.
Char I'm thinking of petitioning Goodreads to add a "I want to read" button that will automatically add all the books except romances to my TBR. It would make things so much easier!!


I recently received a box of books from Cemetery Dance and on Saturday I received the MUCH awaited: The Listener. I almost lost my damn mind.
Kenneth McKinley I literally will not live long enough to read everything I've purchased and yet, here I am still buying!
Char Pretty much!

But let's not talk about that...
Lena Wow, you got an ARC book box?!?!
Char Lena wrote: "Wow, you got an ARC book box?!?!"

I did! I don't know how exactly, but I'm going to read them all. :)
Lena Oh Char, please take a photo of the books and share! I love book box pics and yours would be extra special.
Char Ok, hang on.
Char Here's a link, it's in my profile:
https://www.goodreads.com/photo/user/...
Char I'm not used to getting physical ARCS, these are my first. I posted the picture of The Listener. While what's written surely makes me feel special, I'm wondering if this is a usual thing-no real cover or anything?

Still...how freaking EXCITED AM I?? VERY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lena So make that four books from three of those different specialty sites. My shame box grows!

Char you are super special to receive such things and I like that you know to appreciate it!

I'm not sure about being special, but I really do appreciate it. :)
Rachel Bea i wish physical ARCs were more of a thing (I understand why they're not!) because i haaate ebooks but i want to read new books and leave reviews! lol

that box is beautiful :)
Lena Slowly this happening to our shelves...


On a lighter note, I just realized all of the four fancy books I ordered are by female authors. Ladies are bringing it!
Char Sweet!!

I actually need more shelves. I wish I had some nice once like that!

All of this stuff didn't stop me from haunting NetGalley this morning!
I have a list of authors I search almost daily for. Right now those are:

Christopher Buehlman
Michael Rowe
Rio Youers
Owen King (I'm trying to get a Sleeping Beauties, but I don't see that happening!)
Joe Lansdale
Robert McCammon

Do you guys do this? LOL
Lena I keep seeing Joe's name on those fancy sites, what have you read of him that you love so much?
