Just had approved

Playing with Fire by Tess Gerritsen

One of my favourite authors!


message 613: by Traci (new)

Traci | 29 comments Was unfortunately declined for X (Kinsey Millhone, #24) by Sue Grafton . Not really surprised, although wish the publisher actually listed what they are looking for. I have a feeling that it's just such a popular series/author that maybe they are very picky about who they choose to give it out to. I don't have a blog or review hundreds of books per year, so am usually surprised to be approved for anything - haha.

It's through Penguin and anyone can join. You earn points for logging in, you can request early galley copies and if you have enough points you can guarantee your copy. You also earn points when you download your galley, and when you add your review. http://www.firsttoread.com/

It's terrific! I've read a few really good books I got through them.

No problem. It's a great program and it's a great way to get new books. They send a notice at least once a month about new books on offer. In June there were two offers for books. I love it and can't wait to get the email each month when new books are available.

YEAH!! Make it a point to go to the site at least once a week, if not everyday. They give you 5 points just for logging in, EVERY TIME!! It's a good way to rack up points so that for the next round of offers(around the middle of the month) you may have enough points to guarantee a copy of a new release.

Yeah, me too. Just figured if I read one or two Net Galley books per month I might keep up with some of the newer books. I have so many books on my Kindle, almost 3,000. I figured I should be reading some of them.
