NetGalley - Requests and Read Now Advice
Thanks Sharon. I put in a 'wish for it' from St Martins but they never approve me, so it's good to see a copy from an Aussie publisher available.
You’re welcome Brenda and Carolyn :)Carolyn - oops sorry lol 😂
Brenda - wow that was a quick approval 😊
Me too! I liked his previous books so am looking forward to this despite my grumbling!Thanks Sharon for the heads up :)

Patty, I know exactly where you're coming from!
Sharon wrote: "The Younger Wife by Sally Hepworth
is up for request"Has anyone been approved for this one yet? I put a request in on the 21st but haven’t been approved as yet, so just wondering.
The third book in Amie Kaufman & Jay Kristoff's Aurora Cycle, Aurora's End
is available to request on Netgalley
I’m sure you’ll get it, Brenda. They approved me quickly, and I’m now auto approved for Text! Very happy here :)

Brenda wrote: "Sounds like we'll all have it!!"Boo! I haven't been approved (yet!). Fingers crossed it's a weekend delay, but could also be because my ratio is currently sitting at 76%...

Possibly Sarah, I try to keep mine around 90%, but still sometimes get knocked back for books. Fingers crossed it comes through for you.

Thanks Kylie! Yes, I have everything crossed - my approvals and declines don't always follow recognisable patterns. Still, not the end of the world if I'm not approved - I'll place a hold at the library in anticipation!

Lately I've kept it over 90% but still get rejected...
Got this one though, I love Garry Disher's books!
Brenda wrote: "Sounds like we'll all have it!!"Yay! I've finally been approved for it! I see it's protected PDF format, though, and archived on 31 October, not the publication date of 2 November. So that means it will disappear from Kindle and NetGalley Shelf on 31/10, doesn't it? I really hate reading PDFs on the computer screen, so will have to make sure I've read it before the end of the month...

It still was sent to my kindle, so to be read on the kindle, not on the laptop Sarah.

Yes, I got it through Kindle too. I don't think the archive date means it will disappear, just that you cannot download it after that date.
I have never yet had a book disappear from my kindle once it has been sent there, I have some that have been there for years waiting for me to read :)
