“The Rain Heron” has now dropped successfully into Kindle for me, after I downloaded it via p.c., rather than on the tablet - either the problem’s been rectified or the button doesn’t work in the app-based browser (I use Chrome).

I also have The Night Heron which went straight to my kindle and opened fine. Good to see Sarah has it sorted now.
Thanks Sharon. I've been staying away from NG until I get a few more books off my shelf, but I'll make an exception for Nicole Trope :)
So, I just happened to sneak a peak at 'Read Now' while I was on NG requesting The Life She Left Behind and was happy to spot and download the second book in Robert Bryndza's Kate Marshall series
Shadow Sands. (I do hope he's going to write another Erica Foster!)

As long as this new book is better than book one which I had a few issues with! I am giving him a second chance with the new series:) Of course another Erica Foster book would be excellent!

Yay! I've also picked up a copy of Shadow Sands by Robert Bryndza (Kate Marshall #2). Thanks for the heads-up, Carolyn!

I haven't gone wrong with one of hers yet!
Also see that The Lantern Men by Elly Griffiths Ruth Galloway #12 is Read Now

That's why I am not requesting it Lee. I am only up to #5 in the series!!!

This one's also a must have Read Now if you don't already have it and follow this series:
The Geometry of Holding Hands by Alexander McCall Smith (Isabel Dalhousie #13)
I just finished this book
The Safe Place which is available until the end of June. It fell flat for me, but others have really enjoyed it.https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Phrynne wrote: "I have it to read this month Kylie! Hope I enjoy it more than you did:)"I enjoyed it, probably because I'd just read a few non-fiction books so something light is always good afterwards.
Carolyn wrote: "
The Descent by Matt Brolly (sequel to The Crossing) is Read Now."Carolyn, you're not supposed to be browsing... ;)
Also just spotted on the NG front page (ie. definitely not browsing!):
Pianos and Flowers: Brief Encounters of the Romantic Kind, a collection of short stories by Alexander McCall Smith (first pub 2019) is Read Now.
Carolyn wrote: "I just went on to post a review and it lept out at me! Sigh..."That's your story and you should stick to it ;)
Phrynne wrote: "I have it to read this month Kylie! Hope I enjoy it more than you did:)"I really hope so too. Given the other reviews it perhaps just wasn't to my taste.
My review for
When She Was Good by Michael Robothamhttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5...
Still available for request!
Brenda wrote: "This Tender Land by William Kent Krueger is currently on NetGalley :)"I’m tempted. It has some great reviews.
For anyone who hasn't read The First Lie by Aussie author Virginia King she has a widget she said I can share for a copy on NG...

is available for request. (April 2021 release)"I was lucky in getting a widget from the publisher for this one🤗
Doesn’t happen very often, so very happy.
Brenda wrote: "The Postscript Murders by Elly Griffiths is available for request :)"Oooh... thanks for the heads-up, Brenda!
Phrynne wrote: "One of our Group Reads The Cumal Files is still available for request on Netgalley"I'd better go and request it then (keeping my side blinkers on so I don't accidently request anything else!)
