Hi Carolyn, I've read you have also a copy of The Sin Eater. I'm having a hard time reading the book, as I have old lines mixed with the new ones, breaking the flow. Did you notice the same thing in your copy? Just wondering if it's only mine having this issue.

Can you give me the ISBN so I can check it out please Carolyn? Thanks :) "

Thanks Brenda. The book is The Sin Eater by [author:Meg..."

I had the exact same problem Alda and downloaded a new copy just to check if it was a problem that had been fixed but it was the same. It occurs all the way through the book but not to the same extent as in the early chapters and really annoyed me, although I learnt to skip over it quickly. I think it's just May reliving her arrest that led to the predicament she's in now. I had a look at a few reviews and no one seems to have mentioned it which is weird!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

This one sounds good. Historical mystery! Deception by Gaslight by Kate Belli

[Alda]

Thanks Carolyn, I'm just at the start of the novel, at least now I know it will be less frequent in later chapters.

If anyone likes historical fiction, I've just finished If Tenderness Be Gold by Eleanor Albanese. It's set in Canada from the end of the 19th-century up to the first half of the 20th-century, and it's a story spanning 3 generations of a family, with characters coming from different backgrounds (e.g. Irish, Italian, Finnish). I really enjoyed this gentle story and I can recommend it. If you know some basic Italian it may be helpful, as some lines are in Italian.

[Alda]

Yes, I've still to write the review though, plan to do that by the end of the week

Find Her Alive by Lisa Regan 8th in the Josie Quinn series is finally on NG :)

[Kylie H]

Finished Sheerwater by Leah Swann which is being archived on April 1st.

https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Mixed reviews so far from what I can see, set in Victoria and a debut novel by this Australian author.

[Lee at ReadWriteWish]

I loved Sheerwater but I see a few others didn't like it as much.

[Andrea]

I recently finished After She Wrote Him by Sulari Gentill, which is still Read Now until 7 April. It's quite different from the Rowland Sinclair series, but highly entertaining in its own unique way ;-)

[Andrea]

Got an email this morning inviting me to read The Finders by Jeffrey B. Burton. Cutesy dog on the cover - slightly interested. Looking in more detail... it's a CADAVER DOG!! I'm in! Available for request, too (30 June publication).

[M.N.]

Sounds good, Andrea 🙂

[Carolyn]

I got that email too Andrea and snapped it up. Just look at that cute dog on the cover!

[marlin1]

I know that a few people here love reading Bette Lee Crosby and there is a new one on Netgalley as a read now A Million Little Lies

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Wow thanks Marlin!!!

[marlin1]

No problems Brenda 🙂

[Marianne]

I see Killing Mind (Kim Stone #12) by Angela Marsons is on for request,,,

Just saw that too yay!!!

[Carolyn]

Accidently saw it this morning, while I was downloading another book. With the pub date just over a month away I was beginning to worry that Bookouture weren't going to list it!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Thanks Marianne :) It's waiting (along with many more!) on my kindle..

[Carolyn]

There seem to be a good selection of books available on Read Now at the moment. I picked up:

The Bass Rock by Evie Wyld and
Until I Find You by Rea Frey, a domestic drama that sounds good.

Also an ePub (you need Adobe Digital Editions to read this on a tablet or computer) of Pussweek: A Cat's Guide to Feline Empowerment, based on the magazine series Pussweek, written "by cats, for cats," - a feline parody of fashion and celebrity gossip rags. Looks like fun for cat lovers.

I also spotted:
Amethyst Pledge by our own Leonie Rogers, YA scifi
Beyond Fear, a thriller by Aussie writer Jaye Ford (first pub 2011)
Lapse by Aussie writer Sarah Thornton, rural thriller, is still available
Little Disasters by Sarah Vaughan (author of Anatomy of a Scandal)
Brave Girl, Quiet Girl: A Novel by Catherine Ryan Hyde is also still available. I've just finished it and loved it.
Educated by Tara Westover - highly recommended
The Night Swim by Megan Goldin (I was declined for this so can't get it now - so annoying!)
Call of the Raven by Wilbur Smith

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

There is also When She Was Good by Michael Robotham and Tiny White Lies by Fiona Palmer available for request :)

[Carolyn]

I haven't requested When She Was Good because Hachette always decline me because I don't have a blog.

Thanks. I was looking at the 'read now' options last night and missed a couple of these.

They usually refuse me too, until last year when I had one approved. So I guess it doesn't hurt to ask :)

[Carolyn]

I'll give it a go Brenda - as you say you never know!

A debut novel from a UK author which sounds intriguing

The Book of Hidden Wonders by Polly Crosby

https://www.netgalley.com/catalog/boo...

[Andrea]

After being contacted by a couple of publishers about extended dates, I went to check my NetGalley shelf and found that most of my titles have been pushed back.

So if anyone is feeling overwhelmed with deadlines - it might pay to check!

(Also frees me up to select some more titles 😈)

[Marianne]

Private Investigations: Mystery Writers on the Secrets, Riddles, and Wonders in Their Lives has a story by Sulari Gentill and is Read Now https://www.netgalley.com/catalog/boo...
