What NetGalley books do you currently have?

[Vicki Willis]

That is so weird.
I have been waiting forever to hear if I got it or not.
Crossing my fingers.

Edited:
I got approved

[Kristie]

That is weird. I think sometimes it just depends when they receive it. Like maybe if they see it, but they're doing something else it gets forgotten. I have had a few lately that have just at there indefinitely. I ended up withdrawing my requests for the ones that passed the pub dates, but still have a couple I've been waiting on for months.

[Vicki Willis]

Yes, I check that area too because I don't like a bunch of already published books just lingering there.
I like my shelves TIDY! lol

[Kristie]

Glad you got approved! I like my shelves tidy. lol

[Kristie]

I was just approved for Dogged Pursuit. I was also approved for Don't Let Him In after waiting several months. I almost withdrew my request, but figured I'd give it a little longer. I'm so glad I waited.

[Vicki Willis]

I just got the new Lisa Jewel as well.

[Kristie]

They must have just done a big approval. It publishes next month.

[Shruti morethanmylupus]

mine still says pending 😭

[Trisha]

I have it as well and planned to start 6/2
I'm excited to read it!

I'm also still pending, you're not alone, Shruti!

[Kristie]

I won't be able to get to it until mid-month. Shruti & Elyse, I hope you both get approved soon.

[Marnie]

Other People's Houses by Clare Mackintosh is READ NOW right now.

I’ve been waiting for that one.

[Jessie (Saffity)]

I've grown quite a backlog which I'm intending to catch up over the summer. Right now for my upcoming due that I will be working on once I finish my current book I have:



My Backlog (a few of which were backlog when I grabbed them as read nows) which I will also pick away at is:



The ones that aren't backlogged I'll probably start buddy read threads for in case anyone is reading it too.

We'll see if by September I can get these caught up a bit.

[Elyse]

Thanks Marnie! I literally checked for it the day before and it wasn't on NG yet! 😂

Jessie - If you're looking for buddy reads for any of them, post in the request a buddy thread here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/... People look there to see what others want to read. Plus, I keep a running schedule of buddy reads so that people can join reads that are already planned. If you just post threads hoping someone will join people might not see them and they may not end up on the schedule.

Thanks, Marnie. She's a popular author.

[Vicki Willis]

Also a Read Now
Alibis Collection
Six short stories by McFadden, Hepworth and 4 others.
For some reason here on GR they are listed as six separate books.

[Jessie (Saffity)]

Kristie wrote: "Jessie - If you're looking for buddy reads for any of them, post in the request a buddy thread here:"

Oh yes! I was just listing what books I have and mentioning I will in the future be making buddy read requests for them as I get up to them.

I didn't realize we have a future schedule though, I'll get my next couple posted and see if anyone wants to join :)

[Kristie]

Vicki - Goodreads has the books individually and as a collection. NetGalley has them separately too, at least as audios, for anyone who only want to read certain ones. Here's a link to the collection: Alibis

Thanks for letting us know they are read now. There are some good authors in that collection too.

[Kristie]

No hurry, Jessie. I just wanted to mention it. :) Yes, the schedule is here if you want to check it out: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/... I think we have a couple new threads that I haven't added yet. I usually get to them pretty quickly, but it's been really busy around here lately.

[Elyse]

Weird about the Alibis collection because those are usually Kindle Unlimited exclusives!!

The beginning is hilarious, let’s see if it stays this way

[Kristie]

Finally got an approval for The Forget-Me-Not Library! I think I've been waiting on this one since January. I'm very happy about it though and it doesn't publish until November, so I have plenty of time.

[Carl]

Got two approvals: and

[Kristie]

Does anyone follow Andrew Mayne's series? He has a newer series called The Specialists that pulls in characters from his previous series. The second book, Impostor Syndrome is currently read now.

Characters are from the following series:
The Naturalist
Trasker
Underwater Investigation Unit
Jessica Blackwood

This book seems to focus on Jessica Blackwood & Sloan McPherson (Underwater Investigation Unit).

Just started “my ex-husband’s ex-husband”, the title intrigued me, so I’m pleased it was approved

I haven't read Angel Down too. But I have no idea if I'll read early or mid July. I'd love to buddy-up, Shruti.

[Carl]

Got approved for Lucky Day !!!!!!!!!!!!

[Kristie]

I was just approved for The Marigold Cottages Murder Collective . This is a new author for me. It looks good!

[Trisha]

I have that one too! let me know if you want to buddy!

I nabbed this one as I enjoy most of his books.

Sure, Trisha! I plan on starting it later in the month if that works for you.

That is perfect! The only time I'm busy and wouldn't be able to post would be next weekend, when I'll be camping! Otherwise, just pick a date and I should be good!

It's not on NetGalley yet, I just checked, but there is a Goodreads Giveaway for The Storm by Rachel Hawkins!

[Vicki Willis]

I just saw that and was coming to comment. She didn't have a new book January 2025, so I am very excited! It says January 2026.
Let me know if anyone sees it on NG.

[Trisha]

yay! thx! super excited for that one!!

[Kevin]

Just been approved for the new Steve Cavanagh (Eddie Flynn) novel Two Kinds of Stranger.

Been waiting for approval for ages and it publishes in a couple of weeks.

[Kristie]

I had that happen with a book recently, Kevin. So annoying when you request early and get approved late.

[Marnie]

I was just approved for a book (got an email) showed up in my feedback ratio and everything but couldn’t find the book on my shelf. Sent a message to NetGalley and they said the publisher approved me in error since they archived it and that they were unable to remove it from my ratio. “An approval is an approval.”Now my number will forever be off. lol.

[Kristie]

That's awful, Marnie. So, it's not on your shelf at all? Do you have no review option? That shouldn't happen. Can you contact the publisher directly? Maybe they can still send you a widget.

[Marnie]

I don’t even remember requesting it so it must have been a while ago. It’s from Harlequin who I won’t request anymore because they NEVER approve me. I’m laughing at myself for being so annoyed by this so I think I’ll leave it as is and consider it a lesson on “sometime stuff happens-deal with it.”

I’m imagining their conversation being “oh not her…abort the approval.” :)

[Marnie]

No it’s not on my shelf and I have no review option.
