I am not sure Helen, I don't particularly like PDF format either, but have found them much easier to read through the Netgalley app or Bluefire app

I downloaded the netgalley app to my tablet for another one I got a while ago had it there to read but when I went to read it, it told me it had expired so no more for me I prefer to read on my kindle, thanks for your help
I don't mind reading the occasional book on my iPad as long as it is a good one (like this one!) but I really hope Netgalley sticks with Kindle overall.

That happened to me too once, I clicked on the book and a pop up came up and asked if I would like an extension, so I said yes, and it renewed it for another 30 days.




Thanks, Janelle - fingers crossed!

Thanks for that, Andrea!

I have the version from William Morrow which is a mobi file.

Wow, Carolyn, you must be special! When I search William Morrow, even under "All Publishers" I see exactly zero books. And you got that Gilly MacMillan book too, do you have a UK address or something?

Sorry about that, I picked it up a while ago so maybe it's no longer available (apologies for not posting here before). I've had that happen to me when someone's told me about I book they think I'd like but I can't find it listed or it's a 'wish for it'.
I only have an Au address but I've reviewed a few books for William Morrow and a lot for Random House so seem to get approved. There are a lot of publishers I don't get approved for (aka St Martins!)

Well, when I look at William Morrow, I see no titles, not even under "previously on NetGalley" so you must have a different privilege. I can't even see the books to request them.


I have it on request, but it's via Netgalley UK (netgalley . com . uk), rather than US Netgalley (netgalley . com).

Thanks Brenda. You reminded me to check with the library and I am first on the list and they are buying three copies! The only problem is when they take forever to process the new books which does happen:(

I saw Sarah's comment above about NetGalley UK, so I logged in this evening and requested it there, but they said, you've already requested this. That's true. I had a request pending in AU.
They used to be pretty separate, but we can't hide now. I often got UK editions when we didn't have any available.
HOWEVER, I just received approval from the UK and got a copy. You never know your luck in the big city, eh? Or the bush.
Give it another shot and maybe you'll score one, too! Thanks for the inspiration, Sarah. 😊


I don't know when I found www.netgalley.co.uk Marianne, but it didn't used to "see" my AU shelf. I guess they decide from time to time whether Aussie readers are allowed to read UK offerings.
The Amazons used to be more separate, too, but these days if you post a review on one, I don't think they want or need it on UK or US.

No worries, Patty! I don't often request books via NetGalley UK, but they quite often have titles that aren't available via the main .com site.

It used to be that all the publishers were on a single NG site but then they split them into UK/US (and Germany, maybe others) but they didn't stop you from requesting from either site.
I think it all depends on what regional rights the publishers have for the book. That's why a lot of US books aren't available to Australia and some UK books are (and why some books have more than one publisher).


I'm glad we solved that mystery for Marianne! I didn't remember where I requested the book as it was a few months ago.

Although I really don’t need the temptation of even more books!


Just requested 🤞 I really enjoy her books.

I've been approved for The Murder Rule with HC UK as well, still waiting on HC Aus to say. And I've requested the new Gilly MacMillan book via the UK site, fingers crossed!!

I have a print copy I'm just about to start....

https://emma-viskic.com/"
That site lists Bonnier Echo as the Au publisher and Bonnier hasn't listed any books on NG since 2018. Is that the publisher your print copy is from Marianne?

Patty, it’s on Better Reading now. The forms still active for a couple of hours I think.

My copy is from Echo


My kindle download is formatted terribly, with random headings and lines different fonts etc. Stopped reading at 20% as I just couldn’t relax!
Have left a comment in the feedback section as I felt it should be counted towards my feedback count, considering the time I’ve spent on it. And a more detailed comment to the publisher. Interested if it’s just me or not?

Thank you!
