, Warren Adler, 6/5, Well, glad to get this off my 2021 List. Definitely not a favorite. Not an interesting book about Cults, but more a depraved love story of the divorced parents, very strange book. Review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...]3.

Has anyone else had a problem lately with posting reviews to Amazon? I think the problem is that I didn't buy the book from Amazon, so they don't give me the option of posting a review on it anymore. You'd think they'd want as many reviews as possible, especially if they're good ones, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

I do buy books but may not be enough.

I buy some books and lots of other stuff from them, but obviously not the NetGalley book, but they do take my review, then ask me if I want to rate the dog brush I just bought. Who knows?

Finished my first book of the mont, My Wife Is Missing. It was pretty twisty. If you enjoy books that keep you guessing, you may enjoy this one. My review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I also added the audio of Stay Awake, so there is no change in my stats. I already had the ebook of this one, so I didn't really add anything to my reading list either. Hopefully it is really good, since I now have two copies to review.
Lots of action this week for me!I just finished 2 today.
was awesome! A 5 star read. and
was interesting, but slow. a 3 star read. and I added 4 more
And I lost one to archive because I didn't understand I needed to download the audio to the app.

It is interesting that your book had a theme of insomnia because the one I just finished, Stay Awake also dealt with insomnia.
I am reading Stay Awake now and just thought I'm done with insomnia fir for a while after this. lol I didn't know that when I read them in this order.
I forgot to update here - I added
and
. Both are from series I enjoy. I plan to add The Last Orphan too. It's another series I keep up with. I'm hoping they'll add the audio though.
I finished Stay Awake
. I would definitely recommend it. My quick review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Lots of great reviews for that one!
It was really good. The author gives you feeling of "what is going on" for a lot of the book, which goes along with what the MC is feeling.
I finished Holy Chow
. It was another fun addition to the Andy Carpenter series. my Holy Chow review
This is turning out to be a good month for me with NG reviews. :)
That's great, Kristie. I've started the Andy Carpenter series and love it, but I'm nowhere near as far along as this, so I resisted requesting it. I'd rather take my time and read them in order.
That makes perfect sense, Connie. I have this weird split going on with the series. I started with Dog Eat Dog. I didn't know it was number 23 in the series until after I requested it. Then, I thought I'd start from the beginning so I went back to read Open and Shut. However, he writes them a lot faster than I can read them to catch up so I somehow ended up reading from both ends. Read one early one, then a new release, and repeat. So far, I have read # 23, 1, 24, 2, and 25. I guess I will now read #3 before # 26 comes out this fall. I know... it's strange.

my Gatekeeper review"
You're having a great month, Kristie!
I had a lot of books that published around the same time, so I'm glad to be getting through some of them. I still have 4 that publish in July. I'm hoping to finish one of those before the end of June.
I had a really good month. I read 5 which I think is a record for me. And I added 7.
So my shelf didn't get depleted!
I ended the month at 91%.
I am starting another one, but I don't think I will finish it by the end of the month.
I was about to end the month with one less on my shelf, but now I'll end with one additional. I added two just now that were temporarily read now.
I added so many this month! I was just approved for The Last Orphan, which is the latest in the Orphan X series. Fortunately, my three recent additions don't publish for a while yet. Beginning of Month:

Kristie wrote: "I added so many this month! I was just approved for The Last Orphan, which is the latest in the Orphan X series. Fortunately, my three recent additions don't publish for a while yet..."I'm strongly resisting adding any new books because I can't wait to get to the point where I only have a few books on my shelf and can add a few without making my list unsurmountable. Kristie, you're right where I want to be in a few months.
Connie N. wrote: "Has anyone else had a problem lately with posting reviews to Amazon? I think the problem is that I didn't buy the book from Amazon, so they don't give me the option of posting a review on it anymor..."I'm back! It must have been a temporary glitch at Amazon because now I'm able to post my reviews of NetGalley books there with no problem. (Maybe there were other people who complained as well and NetGalley might have intervened?)
Connie N. wrote: "Kristie wrote: "I added so many this month! I was just approved for The Last Orphan, which is the latest in the Orphan X series. Fortunately, my three recent additions don't publish..."I really try to keep my books around 10 or less. I am a slower reader, so I can't have too many on my shelf and still read them before the pub dates. I'm pretty happy with where I am now because the pub dates are spread out until next April! Plenty of time to read them all once I get through July. :)
