I don't blame you for being confused Andrea. It makes a mockery of the 'read now' section that's for sure! Maybe you should contact them and ask about it - and please let us know if you do, and what they say :)

Andrea, I've experienced the same thing and I am currently in communication with NG about this.
The initial response I got said that it is likely to do with geographic markets but they would look further at the issue for me.
They did ask me for further info and that was sent earlier today so I don't expect a response until a few days have passed.

FYI, I turned off the option about seeing only my marketplace.

Thanks for the update Em_Jay. Do you mean you turned it off before or after it happened? I haven’t changed it from the default (which I think they said is ‘on’).

I amended my profile soon after the email was sent from GR. I wanted to see everything even if I wasn't eligible.

I have had this problem before. The issue with me was that I had requested the book previously, before it was moved to the 'read now' section, but was knocked back. Then, when it went to 'read now', it basically said that I'd requested the book and the answer was no and still no, even though everyone else on NetGalley was getting it via the read now section. Was a bit annoying. I mean I was obviously interested in the book in the first place, then, due to insufficient requests I imagine, they changed it to read now and I still missed out!

I've had this too, really unfair!

That's been a long standing issue that a lot of people have complained about before but alas without change. Very annoying!

I hope they are on your kindle soon :)

[Marianne]

The last short story by Jeffery Deaver I got from Amazon Original Stories was very good, so I grabbed Cause of Death which is READ NOW.

Also available for request is #6 in Elly Griffiths's Stephens & Mephisto series, The Midnight Hour

I was down to 22 titles until I got these two. Still at 93% though...

Excellent! I enjoy the Original Stories series, although I admit to being a soft touch for a good short story to begin with.

You beat me to it, Brenda. I just got this one and came on here to post about it. I was able to get it straight away 😊

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Great minds Sharon!

[Sharon]

Haha yes I’ll agree with that 😃

[PattyMacDotComma]

Dolphin Junction: Stories is a collection of short works by one of my favourite mystery writers, Mick Herron (of the Slough House/Slow Horses series).

It's listed for request. Fingers crossed!

Apparently not new, published originally 2013? But even if I have read some of the stories before, I've still requested it. I don't have a lot of luck with Soho Press, but anything by Mick Herron...

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

Good luck both of you. I never have any luck with his publishers so will pass on this one:)

Yes, I think it's a collection of previously published stories - but what the heck. I figure I'll ask anyway. 😊

Thanks Marianne! I've requested and been granted a copy of that one. I enjoyed several of her earlier books, but not so blown away by Nine Perfect Strangers, so I'm hoping this will be a return to top form.

[Kylie H]

Thank you for that ☺

For those who read Deception by Gaslight by Kate Belli, the second book is available for request at the moment Betrayal on the Bowery

Thanks Kylie :)

The third book in Robert Dugoni's Charlie Jenkins series, The Silent Sisters is Read Now. The publish date is not until Feb 2022, so over 6 months' lead in time, in my case, to read books #1 and #2 first ;)

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

Thanks Marianne!!!

The first two were really good Marianne, and I would definitely recommend reading them as it's a continuing story (and a lot happens!)

You are lucky if your library is still open Marianne!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

She sure is! None of ours are open, not even the return chutes. And I know yours is closed Phrynne!

[Marianne]

Our libraries are not open, but the return chutes are, and during lockdown we can reserve a maximum of 10 books. These are posted out to us when the branch has them. I hope they keep doing this and it doesn't get too expensive.
I actually couldn't reserve any books because I already had 13 on my reserve list when they brought this rule in, all books "on order", so I applied online for a library card for hubby and reserve on his .... a bit sneaky, I know

[Marianne]

At the End of the Day by Liz Byrski is up For Request

Marianne wrote: "At the End of the Day by Liz Byrski is up For Request"

Thanks Marianne - I just requested. I've been watching for this one so it's only a very recent inclusion :)

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

I wish my library would show a bit of concern for all the people who are stuck at home needing books. Our council just seemed to pack their bags and go home on day one of the lockdown and all services just stopped!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Would it help to contact them with those concerns do you think? Mental health and more would be concerning especially after the length of lockdown so far.

[Marianne]

Actually, every tine I receive a book in the mail from the library, I post on social media (Facebook, Instagram) with a pic and say "Thanks to Wollongong City Libraries for keeping us sane during lockdown"
