“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 have that one too Brenda - it looked interesting. I also have The Night Heron which went straight to my kindle and opened fine. Good to see Sarah has it sorted now.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

That's good Carolyn - we can compare notes when we get to it :)

[Sharon]

The Life She Left Behind by Nicole Trope is available for request on NG :)

[Carolyn]

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 :)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Thanks Sharon :)

[Carolyn]

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!)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

So what was that you were saying Miss Carolyn?? lol

[Carolyn]

Yup, just no self control Brenda!
Although, I did stop looking after I found that :)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Haha! I know what you mean :)

[Marianne]

My shelf is down to 44, LOL
I am trying to read 1 NG book to 1 real paper book

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

I can skip the Nicole Trope but I had to have the Bryndza! Thank you Carolyn.

[Carolyn]

He’s definitely one of the must haves on Netgalley!

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

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!

My Name is Anton: A Novel by Catherine Ryan Hyde is Read Now

[Sarah]

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

Thanks Marianne - she's a very prolific writer!

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

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Me either :)

[Lee at ReadWriteWish]

Highly rec Lantern Men. Although it would make more sense if you'd read the rest of the series.

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

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

[Lee at ReadWriteWish]

Yeah, it's really one series where I don't think you can appreciate it if you read out of order.

[Carolyn]

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)

[Kylie H]

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.

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

I have it to read this month Kylie! Hope I enjoy it more than you did:)

[Carolyn]

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]

The Descent by Matt Brolly (sequel to The Crossing) is Read Now.

[Marianne]

Carolyn, you're not supposed to be browsing... ;)

[Carolyn]

I just went on to post a review and it leapt out at me! Sigh...

[Carolyn]

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.

That's your story and you should stick to it ;)

I really hope so too. Given the other reviews it perhaps just wasn't to my taste.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

I was lucky in getting a widget from the publisher for this one🤗
Doesn’t happen very often, so very happy.

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

I did too Marlin - very happy. But wow! A long wait until publication!!

Oh well done Marlin and Brenda.
