I know what you mean Sharon, but relax and enjoy them. That's the best way I think..

Thanks Brenda, I have just requested it :)

Thanks Brenda and I just requested it and have a Merry Christmas.

I was very happy to get Murder at Gulls Nest by Jess Kidd. She is one of my most favourite authors and this is a change for her to be writing a cosy mystery.

I have that one too, looking forward to it!

Yep, got it!


That sounds interesting Sharon. Lovely cover!
Penguin Random House Au also has



Thanks Sharon, I have requested this one :)


Oh that sounds good and thanks Helen.

Noooo! I was auto approved :(

That's a shame Brenda! We have so few Aussie publishers on there and Text has some great books.

Yes, and they are getting less and less. I was auto approved by Hachette AU but now it's AU & NZ so no longer auto approved :(

I have:
Landfall by James Bradley
The Reunion by Bronwyn Rivers
I'll Come to You by Rebecca Kauffman
I'm having a technical issue with one of the books (The Reunion) - the PDF looks right on Adobe Dig Ed, but when I put it on my Kobo, there is only 1 page of text and the rest is blank. Also I can't seem to get it to convert to epub instead of pdf. Does anyone have any tips?

Tip for new players (and I'm sure you are across this), don't request too much at once as you try and get your percentage up. Also check 'read now' books as if you can read and review them they will help with your percentage also.
I can't help with your technical issue as I'm a kindle reader, but good luck.

Jackie French's The Whisperer's War

I have:
[book:Landfall|221528040..."
I don't use a kobo either, but you could try contacting Netgalley, reading it on the kindle app on your phone, computer or tablet or as a last resort try reading it on the Netgalley app.




I haven't been either :( and I just requested The Private Island by Ali Lowe from Hachette and I was declined :(


That's terrible Helen, why would they decline you and the post only has four likes? I'm annoyed we all had auto approval when is was Hachette Australia, mine is still listed on my profile and it's useless.

I was also declined for the Ali Lowe book, Helen.

I was also declined for the Ali Lowe book, Helen."
I don't like my chances Janelle and it's down right odd how they process requests.

Yes, I did today :)

Yes, I did today :)



Fabulous, I think I might put it on reserve at the library :)

I know the feeling

No, still pending :(
I'm a bit hit and miss with Poisoned Pen so won't hold my breath!
