What NetGalley books do you currently have?
I don't know either, Vicki. I've never gotten a book and had it not allowed to download. I'd contact either NG or the publisher. Sometimes they'll send you a new copy.
I am wondering if I made a mistake bc it was an audio and i saw it in the app on my phone. So maybe I did that wrong. Anyway... Now i have a book listed in the archived section which makes me feel like i am on the naughty list.Does that ever go away?
I don't think so. If you can get it from the library or something you can still read it and review it. Then it would go away. Otherwise, I think it stays there.

The audiobooks especially because it's not just a matter of clicking "send to kindle," you have to actually download it to the app or it will disappear when it archives.
Yes Elise, that is exactly what happened to me. I contacted NG, but they told me to contact the publisher. I did that, but we will see if I hear something back. Now I know I have to download it to the app so it won't happen again.
Added Nights of Plague and Two Nights in Lisbon. TNIL got good reviews from a couple of folks at the Around the World, another group I’m a member of, so I requested it even though it was published last month. I just started it to get going.
I got approved for CJ Tudor's new book
! It doesn't publish till December. She writes good supernatural mystery/thrillers! I've read
and
and I own a couple others.
I've only read one of her books, The Other People, and it looks like I gave it 3.5. I would like to read more now that I read more thrillers these days. I'll be watching to see what you think of that new one, Elyse.

I was approved for The Last Orphan
today! I love this series. I'm still hoping the audio will become available too.

It's not available on NetGalley just yet, but I got The Soulmate
by Sally Hepworth from Edelweiss. It doesn't publish until April, so I'm sure it will be up on NetGalley soon too. If anyone ends up getting it and wants to buddy read just let me know. I'm not planning on it until after the new year. So plenty of time.

As I recall, it wasn't a thriller, but a mystery. My review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

I didn't get an email, just happened to see it on my NG shelf. Check your shelf if you haven't already checked. Good luck!

Not in my books anymore. How can it be archived so ..."
So this happened to me what this is that the book archived before you downloaded it. That's what happened to me so what I ended up doing was getting the book from my library and read it and did a review to get it removed from where it was at. I

I too got approval for both books so I will join the discussion..
Tasha wrote: "That looks really good, Lilisa."Yes, I’m looking forward to reading it - need to do that soon since it published already. I just keep adding to my list but it sounded interesting and I couldn’t resist!

This is always an ongoing problem for me. lol

Kristie & Lilisa ..I'm with you two, I can't pass on what could be a masterpiece. I have 31 NGs right now, and I just picked up five from a Canadian Publisher. I like here on Goodreads when a book is offered. I'm starting to get a list. Never a boring moment.
Currently reading When stars come out " & The stone road". So, I'm reading a lot of dead people talking, lol. But loving both this far.
I just got The Neighborhood
. It comes out August 9th, so I will probably have to read it just after the publishing date. It looks so good though and this is a new author for me. It's still available as an ebook or audio, so I'm happy to buddy read if anyone else has it or gets it.

That looks like a great one, Kristie! I would love to get it but I'm reading a NG now with 2 NG chunksters up in August so am going to pass but please let me know what you think. I may need to put a hold on this one at the library.
I don't have this book and haven't requested it yet bc I love the cover and think it's one I will want to read in print:
It sounds really cute and funny, just trying to decide if I should request it. lol
Tasha wrote: "I ended up sending in a request, lol. I hope it's a good one. ;)"I got approved as well! When do you want to read it? I have a buddy read in mid-August for a book that publishes Sept 13.

And now it is gone.
Not in my books anymore. How can it be archived so quickly? It was Not allowed to download so it just disappeared?
Can someone explain this to me?
