On Net Galley today, a read now, do not need to request

The Wrecking Crew by Taylor Zajonc

[Sean, Moderator]

Read three Net Galley Books in a week, now reading.

[Sue]

Just received Nowhere Girl by Ruth Dugdall

Boy am I HAPPY!

[Janet , Moderator]

I've received an email from the publisher offering me the same book Sue. Bit of a surprise! And a nice one. Not read any by this author before.

[Janet , Moderator]

Oh heck, I got Humber Boy a while ago! Just realised it's the same author! :-) Sadly my brain is MIA!!

I have read Humber Boy B and loved it so much I bought The Woman Before Me The Sacrificial Man .

[Christine]

I just got approved for Pretending to Dance. by Diane Chamberlain. HAPPY!!

[Christine]

I also just got a letter from River Grove publishing asking me to review Live to Air: An Ethan Benson Thriller. . Jeffrey L. Diamond, a thriller taking place in New York City. It's written by a 20/20 producer. Looks interesting.

Do you guys get lots of requests from publishers? I've just had a couple recently. Kind of makes you feel good a publisher wants to you read a free copy of their client's book.

[Janet , Moderator]

Well I see it as a compliment, Christine! They clearly like your reviews! ;0)

[Christine]

I agree, Janet. I am just glad I liked the first book of theirs that I reviewed.

I'm pre-approved to read anything listed by Brash Books on Netgalley, had two invites also so far and gotten three e-mails wanting me to request books.

[Sandysbookaday (taking a step back for a while)]

I was also invited to read Nowhere Girl by Ruth Dugdall. Super excited! *:D

That is great, HF2. It's cool to be hounded to read books!

[Sean, Moderator]

Well went through my profile today.

Had 70 books approved

Reviewed 14

Turned down is also 14.

My percentage is 20% ratio (not good)

and just approved another book.

[Christine]

Apparently good enough, Sean, lol!

[Scott]

Net Galley question for the group. I had several people request a title for review, then fail to review it. What is the protocol for following up with Net Galley reviewers to see if they intend to move forward?

[Diane S ☔]

Approval for The Two-Family House

[Sean, Moderator]

Not Sure Scott, Janet might be able to help.

But rarely I do get messages from the publishers chasing me, but I do intend on reading all the books I have to review, it just takes time.

Thanks, Sean. I didn't so much want to chastise as to get a feel for the reviewer's timeline. Not being familiar with Net Galley, I didn't know if there was a protocol, or a way reviewers would prefer to be approached. (If at all.) :)

[Janet , Moderator]

I don't know how it works for self published but I'm aware many authors are not even aware their book is on NetGalley. Especially the bigger names with publishing houses behind them. I'd be aggrieved if an author contacted me chasing me up on a book. Occasionally NetGalley will get in touch but I see them as agents, the middle man. A publisher might get in touch to offer a book but I don't think I've ever been chased. Equally I would hate to think of folks taking advantage of the notion of free books. Like someone said there's libraries for that. It's a great concept but it should be used with a modicum of respect. Hence I really think before I request.

Thanks, Janet. I don't know how it works for self-published either. My publisher supplied me with a list of those approved, including email addresses. I'm reluctant to reach out to those who haven't reviewed, except to say "thank you" for the interest.

However...we all know how vital reviews are to unknown authors, so the temptation is manifest.

[Janet , Moderator]

That I can understand, Scott. I give feedback even when I've not finished a book and say this book wasn't for me. Maybe ask your publisher to do the asking via Netgalley so that they email those on your list. No harm if seeing if that's option for you. :)

[Sue]

Just approved for Dark Corners by Ruth Rendell

I'm very happy. Wanted to read this book.

[Christine]

Congrats, Sue. Looks to be a stand alone. Look forward to your review.

I have no idea about a protocol with contacting users but I will say that there are several ways people prioritize their reads as most have a lot going on at one time. If your book was put up after the publish date or very near it then those that requested may have very well put it to the side to keep up with the ones the dates haven't come up on yet. Just a thought as I don't know that is the case with yours or not though.

Christine wrote: "Congrats, Sue. Looks to be a stand alone. Look forward to your review."

Yes, it is a stand alone. I saw she has written many books.I also just ordered the following books:
The Missing One by Lucy Atkins

The Other Child by Lucy Atkins

Trust Me, I'm Trouble by Mary Elizabeth Summer

Bird Box by Josh Malerman

Behind Closed Doors by Elizabeth Haynes

Now I just have to isolate myself and enjoy!

Nice haul, Sue. I want to read all those but the middle one.

Thanks Christine.What's wrong with the middle one, except I think I read this 2nd book in the series was not so great, like the 1st?

I've had a couple of authors contact me through NetGalley after I have said I would be interested in hearing more from them and have added me to their blog or notify me directly when a new book is coming out.

I don't know. I looked at #1 in the series, and it would probably be OK, but I've seen others I want to read more. Plus, I have to really really want to read something before committing to a trilogy type thing.

[Elaine]

I am not approved for this one - still waiting to hear - but just to give you all a heads up - new Tess Gerritson is on Netgalley that was not there this morning! Called Playing with Fire! Go press that button!

[Christine]

Must be UK, Elaine. I was turned down for that one a couple months ago.

[Elaine]

Damn, I just looked again and it is UK, Commonwealth and Europe. I hope i have better luck than you did!

[[deleted user]]

Playing with fire is a fantastic book.

[Christine]

I'll have to get in line at the library for it, Kim. I saw your review. (-:

[Chris]

I just got approved for . I so happy. This makes up for all the books I got turned down for.

[Dorie - Cats&Books :)]

I just got approved for "Shut Eye" by Belinda Bauer and "Exposure" by Helen Dumore. The pic for Exposure isn't on here yet, probably because it's not being published until next April.(well and it doesn't have a cover pic yet) I like both of these authors :)

I know how you feel I just got approved for 4 today, but they aren't being published until after January. I'm not requesting anything now until a March pub date, need to spread them out or I get a little nervous

[Janet , Moderator]

I really enjoyed The Shut Eye, Dorie.
