I requested The Ex Wives
last night and woke up to an approval this morning! I'd better get moving so I don't end up adding 3 and reading 0 again this month.
I was also just approved for Lavender House
, which I requested at the same time! I love the fast turn around.
I'm ready to make some progress in October!NetGalley Challenge – October

Yes, that would be great.
I just finished The Ex Wives
and thought it was great. Very tense domestic thriller. My review is here: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Added Cursed
. It is the follow up to Gilded by Marissa Meyer. Looking forward to hearing the second half of the story.
I finished
Lavender House, which is another book that I just added this month. I thought it was great. It blended historical fiction and mystery really well. my Lavender House review
been approved on both of these this week
&
. Read others by these authors and all of them have been 5*
I really want to catch up on my pending reviews. Will try to work on that for the rest of the year. Had 2 books that were archived as I was new to NetGalley and did not know I had to download. Could not find copies in library so I changed to will not give feedback.
I'm finally catching up (slowly) on the TBR list of my NetGalley arcs and I've finished a really good stand-alone today!The Unplanned Life of Josie Hale by Stephanie Eding
Genres: Contemporary chick-lit, light romance with tropes: found family and childhood friends.
My end of month didn't change very much. I was hoping to read one more to break even, but my percentage doesn't change so I guess it doesn't matter much. I will have quite a few to read in November though! On the plus side, I really enjoyed all three of the NG books I read this month. Beginning of Month:

b: What books are on your NG shelf
c: What your Netgalley feedback ratio is
2. During the month, read the NetGalley books that you can AND update your post with your reviews. (You can do this after each book or wait until the end of the month.)
3. At the end of the month, update your post and with:
a: What books you read
b: Link(s) to your review(s)**
c: Your updated shelf count
d: Your updated books to read
e: Your updated ratio
Then start a new post for the next month!
