Andrea wrote: "The Good Dog by Simon Rowell (#3 in Zoe Mayer series) is up for request."I decided to grab this (because I don't have enough NetGalley books hanging over my head with deadlines flying by, yet ;) ) but I know my local library has #1 and #2
I was like, nope, not requesting the third book in a series I haven't started.....then I looked and realised the author was born in Adelaide (where I live) and though, hmmm let me see. The library has both books 1 and 2 available now on audio and this one isn't published until 30 January - so I think I can do it!

Bec wrote: "I was like, nope, not requesting the third book in a series I haven't started.....then I looked and realised the author was born in Adelaide (where I live) and though, hmmm let me see. The library ..."I said the same when I requested Chris Hammer's third book The Seven and hadn't read #1&2 and then ended up having to read them all this month. Totally worth it though!
Andrea wrote: "Yes you can! And you’ll be glad you did. The audiobooks are great, and fairly short, too"Just borrowed the first book from libby to listen to - will start on my walk tomorrow! I was in between audio books so perfect timing!
Andrea wrote: "The Good Dog by Simon Rowell (#3 in Zoe Mayer series) is up for request."Excellent I recently read book 2 and looking forward to this one.
Andrea wrote: "The Good Dog by Simon Rowell (#3 in Zoe Mayer series) is up for request."Like the rest of you, no, I don't really have a reading gap, but... I finally located the first two books in one of my libraries so I've requested this one. I must stop following this thread!

Well, Allen & Unwin kept me hanging and kept me hanging and then, finally today, they approved me for Kill Your Husbands by Jack Heath

I've withdrawn my requests a few times, as I don't want to be ambushed at the last minute.

I received my first book from Netgalley today. I'm new to writing reviews so not sure how I will go. I've recently gone off most social media and loving that I'm reading daily again. I'm reading a lot so why not offer others my opinion? They can take it or leave it.Does anyone have any advice on expanding my followers now? After being hacked I've had to start a new account from fresh, not that I had a lot of followers before but I'm more invested now.

Marianne wrote: "Fans of Catherine Ryan Hyde might like to grab Life, Loss, and Puffins, READ NOW, publish 14 May 24"Thakns Marianne, I do like Catherine Ryan Hyde. I still have to read A Different Kind of Gone as it keeps getting pushed back for books publishing earlier - it's soon now though so it's nearly at the top of my list!

Marianne wrote: "Lethal Vengeance, Erika Foster #8 is up FOR REQUEST, publish 8 Feb 24"Arrgghhh... I'm so behind but can't resist requesting this one. Thanks Marianne!
Marianne wrote: "Lethal Vengeance, Erika Foster #8 is up FOR REQUEST, publish 8 Feb 24"Oooh lovely! I'm trying to stay away from Netgalley too until I get my shelf under control, but I can't miss a Robert Bryndza! Thanks Marianne :)

Unfortunately, my request was rejected :(

Oh no - did they say why?
No, I missed the stand-alone and this one. Raven publishing didn't give anything beyond the generic "declined to allow access to the title at this time. Please take a look at our Profile Suggestions to have a better chance of approval in the future! " I'm at 92% so that can't be it:(
I’m not sure if anyone else is reading Peter Boland’s Charity Shop Detectives series, but #3 is Read Now. It’s called DEATH AT THE DOG SHOW
Wow, saw that
Body of Lies by Sarah Bailey came up for request today. Applied and was approved within 10 minutes. An amazing turnaround from Allen & Unwin given it took them around 8 weeks to approve me for Kill Your Husbands by Jack Heath
The Chocolate Factory by Mary-Lou StephensSnowy Mountains Dawn by Alissa Callen
Both up for request :)
Thanks Sharon :)The Eleventh Floor Kylie Orr
Is also up for request, I loved her first book Someone Else's Child
