NetGalley Books ... Just Had Approved
No, the advocate badge came out a few months ago, a promo from NG to help promote books, reading. It was sent through email so you might have gotten a link for it.The badge for getting 3 reviews posted by a publisher is called the 'Top Reviewer'
OK, thanks, Jan. I have 2 reviews posted.

If I can do it ladies you can also. I just checked Netgalley, and I have 5 featured out of 80 posted feedback reviews, and have kept my 80% badge.

Christine wrote: "OK, thanks, Jan. I have 2 reviews posted."Nowhere Girl is publishing reviews, but I don't see any lower than 4 stars. Will be curious to see if we will get our badge after posting our reviews for this one!(I have 2 featured as well)

That's really good Jan.I know I Love Netgalley, but it is like being in a candy store with no parents! I have 8 books to read left on Netgalley plus 1 to finish and give feedback, plus 5 books to read for Maxine. You will have no trouble, as you read fast and write so well.
Take care
Sue

I want a couple of Maxine's books as well but need to get my NG caught up as well as my library reads. It's wonderful to have so many options though, isn't it?!! :-)

It's great, but it is nice when you catch up a bit on Netgalley.

Well, I sure won't, Jan.
I had my 80% badge a couple weeks ago until I went on a little request binge. I have it back to 75%, so should get back to 80% soon. I am aiming for 95% or so. You can't have 100% and be able to have anything new to read, so that is clearly unattainable by anyone unless they retire from Net Galley.

Nah, but I have gotten a thank you e-mail twice from Joel Goldman who co-owns Brash Books for reviews.
I've only submitted 8 feedbacks in total (and have 16 left to read) and none featured :( Hopefully as I rack up my total number of books read etc then I'll have some featured :3

Her new book, but I have NOT READ YET, her previous Net Galley book.

Have just requested Smoke and Mirrors! And I was trying to be sooooo good honest! I have got my list down to 72! and almost finished What Lies in the Dark....so that will be 71 *:D
Hi no her previous books were about Ruth Galloway a Norfolk archaeologist and Single Mum. Smoke and mirrors is a new series.

I personally am staying away from NG for a bit but seeing what you guys are getting approved is making my finger itchy to click to the site.
HAHA, Chris!! Famous last words, perhaps?
Sean wrote: "Clare Comfort Of Black is great book"Agree with you, Sean!
Approved for Everyone Brave Is Forgiven, Glory over Everything: Beyond The Kitchen House
and
What She Left.

. I'm kind of excited about this. I haven't read a Dean Koontz novel in years. It might even be decades. I really enjoyed the ones that I did read, though.
Christine wrote: "HAHA, Chris!! Famous last words, perhaps?"Haven't requested a book in 5 days. But I am itching to click and see what I can get approved for. Do you think I can make it till 11/1
I've been approved for several the past couple of weeks… Ashley Bell, The Last Good Place,The Photographer's Wife,Life and Death in the Andes: On the Trail of Bandits, Heroes, and Revolutionaries and The Passenger. I'd better get busy reading… though I'm reading another NetGalley book I got a short time ago, Twain's End
The Night Clock by Paul MeloyAlistair Grim's Odd Aquaticum by Gregory Funaro
My latest two. Just fun little adult and middle grade fantasies.
