The Geometry of Holding Hands Isabel Dalhousie #13 is Read Now

[Marianne]

Auto approved for Hachette Australia: this is very bad for my TBR...

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Nice Marianne - you'll just have to be selective :)

Thanks Marianne. Got it. I would have missed it otherwise!

Well done Marianne! They have lots of good books so it will be hard to resist!

Hachette consistently decline my requests. They say it's because I don't have a blog, so I only occasionally ask for a book from them just to test the waters but the result is always the same (maybe I'm Auto Declined - lol!). I'm not convinced I want to start a blog as I definitely do not need more books..

Auto-declined :(
I seem to be lucky with them. Especially now. I don't have a blog...

Read Now on Netgalley:
The Safe Place by Aussie author Anna Downes

[marlin1]

Marianne recently gave The Safe Place by Anna Downes a 5 star review.
The copy from Affirm press appears as a read now for me. (St Matins is a request)
I did get an advertising email from Affirm about it this morning but don’t think it was a specific invite, therefore it may be read now for anyone.

Yes, it's only the copy from Affirm Press that is Read Now.

The House on Boundary Street by Tea Cooper is on NG :)

YAY! I’ve been waiting for this one :) 🤞🤞

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Me too Sharon :)

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

Be careful you haven't already read it. It is a re release of Jazz Baby

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Phrynne wrote: "Be careful you haven't already read it. It is a re release of Jazz Baby"

Hmmm I have read Jazz Baby Phrynne. I didn't even read the blurb to see that - I always read whatever she writes! Thanks...

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

I've just moved the words telling of the two titles to the top of the blurb instead of the bottom!

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

That was a good idea Brenda to make it more prominent. It's always very disappointing to start reading a book and then find out you have already read it.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

She told me that it is and it isn't! It's Jazz Baby plus another character's story - so basically doubled she said..

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Helena Dixon's latest in her Miss Underhay series is on NG - Murder at the Playhouse

[Sharon]

Phrynne wrote: "Be careful you haven't already read it. It is a re release of Jazz Baby"

Thanks Phrynne I didn’t realise it was a rerelease which I’ve read and I just got approved for it :)

It's apparently got a lot more story to it than Jazz Baby Sharon :)

[Sharon]

Oh okay thanks, Brenda. Hope to read it soon and I’m sure I’ll enjoy it :)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

At least it's a while ago since I read JB, so we'll see :)

[Sharon]

Yes I read JB back in 2015. That sure was awhile ago :)

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

Brenda wrote: "Helena Dixon's latest in her Miss Underhay series is on NG - Murder at the Playhouse"

No more suggestions Brenda. I have 18 books waiting on Netgalley now and that is ENOUGH 😉

Lol!!! You HAVE to read this one though......

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Sharon wrote: "Yes I read JB back in 2015. That sure was awhile ago :)"

I've just combined the two titles so when you (and anyone else) reviews The House, it'll come up as a "2nd read"

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

Brenda wrote: "Lol!!! You HAVE to read this one though...... "

I know:(

[Carolyn]

I've managed to keep my Netgalley shelf to under 20 books for the last year but in the last few weeks it's suddenly blown out to 40!! So, I'm reading as fast as I can and ignoring this thread as much as possible!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Don't worry, I have 10 more than you! But nowhere near Carolyn's total ;)

"Don't worry, I have 10 more than you! But nowhere near Carolyn's total ;)"

I've got books with pub dates through to November so it's not as bad as it sounds and I'm still getting them read a few weeks before publication. But I starting to find it hard to fit in the other books on my tbr so I really do have to cut back on NG!!

[Andrea]

Quick approval on The Rain Heron by Robbie Arnott, if anyone is interested.

I have a couple out that far too Carolyn - takes the pressure off :)

BTW did you see they've changed the publishing date of Exit to February next year?

[Marianne]

Only 40? I have 45! NetGalley is VERY BAD for my TBR. Luckily, I do have some of them as hard copy...

[marlin1]

Oh I feel quite good about my number......only 7 and all that that I’m really looking forward to reading.
I hate getting above 15, in fact I start not to enjoy it and feel too pressured. I’ve consciously taken a step back and just book mark ones of interest and sit on it a while. Been burnt a few times being finger clicking happy 😊

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

I agree Marlin. I try to stay at ten but SOME PEOPLE who I won't name here tempt me all the time into getting more!

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Hahahaha! No one forces you to open the posts Phrynne ;);)

[Veronica ⭐️]

I love reading this thread. They are all very tempting but I’m not requesting until I catch up.

Marianne wrote: "Only 40? I have 45! NetGalley is VERY BAD for my TBR. Luckily, I do have some of them as hard copy..."

Marianne, can I ask why you have them as ebooks and hard copy? Do you read them both?

That's the problem once you have too many to read - it can feel like a chore. I do like to have some flexibility in what I read and I can feel too constrained if I have a long list of netgalleys I have to read read each month. I just need to practice some self restraint!!

Veronica, I can only read the e-books at home and on the treadmill. I always have a hardcopy book going for my fresh air reading, walks to the beach etc.

That’s a good idea. I wish I could read and walk. I don’t think I could even read and treadmill. Reading and drinking tea is about as talented as a can get :))

Thanks for the heads-up, Andrea - I was granted a copy of “The Rain Heron” overnight. So excited, as “Flames” was one of my top reads of 2019. Only problem is that it won’t download to Kindle, so will have to read as a digital edition.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Thanks for mentioning that Sarah - I've asked and asked that they state how it's to be downloaded before you click the button but they still haven't done it!

Ditto about Flames! I just went to check my Kindle and all looks normal - downloaded and readable. Did you try more than once? I'd do anything to avoid reading on my PC.

[Sarah]

I can still read on my tablet, through the digital editions app, but it’s more of a PDF style format. I’ll re-try downloading to kindle on the p.c. later.

[Lee at ReadWriteWish]

The non-Kindle ones can be downloaded onto Aldiko. The text is a touch small and I do hate it in general, but it is better than a PDF.

[Marianne]

I can open PDFs with my Kindle app on my tablet...

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

There is a title by a debut Aussie author on NG through Text Publishing - The Night Whistler by Greg Woodland It sounds really good, and I was just approved :)
