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.

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 :(

Helen (helen57) | 3401 comments Same with me and Hachette

message 2427: by Meg (new)

Meg (megscl) | 326 comments Hi all, I just joined netgalley. I wasn't sure how it would go, but I've already been approved for 3 books! I better get reading asap because my % looks terrible.

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?

Bec | 171 comments Welcome to the Negalley journey Meg. It can be quite addictive!
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.

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.

Karren  Sandercock  (karrensandercock) | 1076 comments Has anyone been approved for The Mademoiselle Alliance by Natasha Lester Natasha Lester and my request with Hachette Australia and New Zealand on NetGalley has been pending for over a month and I'm hoping it's a delay due to staff being on holidays?

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.


message 2435: by Helen (new)

Helen (helen57) | 3401 comments I don't know I will request it at the library because I really want to read it


message 2436: by Janelle (new)

Janelle | 635 comments I was approved for The Mademoiselle Alliance this morning so maybe you two will be approved soon :)

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


message 2437: by Helen (new)

Helen (helen57) | 3401 comments I wonder why?


message 2438: by Helen (new)

Helen (helen57) | 3401 comments I am glad you got approved for Natasha Lester's. My request is still pending on that one

I don't like my chances Janelle and it's down right odd how they process requests.
