NetGalley Books ... Just Had Approved Showing 1,351-1,400 of 4,237

[Janet , Moderator]

Lol! I don't know really. Just how it comes out of my head.... which is a strange and weird place to be!

[Christine]

Scary, Janet.

:-D x

[Chris]

You guys have to stop ordering books to maintain your 80% badge. Why do you think I am only going on the site to browse books twice a month lol.

[Christine]

HAHA, Chris! I would rather have more books than a badge!

[Pia]

Congrats!
I managed to reach 32%, then I kept on requesting and it went down to 29%

Today I got approved for 4 books so I'm down to 26%.
I'll try to catch up during Christmas... that is, if I don't keep pushing the little green button, as you say

[Christine]

Pia, it's just like a sinkhole!

Man I got in trouble pushing that green button that is why I am trying to stay away from the site. I usually request a dozen of books in a shot and don't forget the auto approved ones. To you Christine I have so many books between the kindle, nook and paper books to last till the day I can't read anymore.

If I knew how to create a free blog I probably would get approved for more.

[Janet , Moderator]

I know! :-\ I'm trying to be good..... but it's hard! :-D

There's another book I've got my eye on! ;-)

[Christine]

@Chris, sending lots of empathy vibes to you!
@Janet, OK spill. Whatcha looking at this time?

[Christine]

I want to read a Christmas book, but don't have the time. If I request one off Net Galley, then I will have to read it. Anyone see any holes in that logic?

[Janet , Moderator]

It's called Our Endless Numbered Days by Claire Fuller. Reviews seem to be split in a love hate way but I am intrigued in spite of the negativity. Really expensive at the moment so may request, may not. Still mulling.

I fancy a Christmas book too. A lot of chick lit around that's Christmassy and some chick lit can be good. But years since I've read any. I'd go for it, Chris!

[Christine]

I am going to look that book up. I don't know it..
OK, I am going to search NG for a Christmasy book! Thanks, Janet.

[Christine]

Wow, that Fuller book is intriguing indeed.

My blog is nonexistent. I just posted a welcome yesterday. Now I have to copy all my reviews to it

[Janet , Moderator]

I wouldn't have time for a blog. :)

Go for it, Chris, if it's piqued your interest! ;-)

Hi everyone. I just joined the group when I saw this thread! I just adore Netgalley!
My books to be read are

* Find Her by Lisa Gardner

* 3 Truths and a Lie by Lisa Gardner

* Fatal Beauty by Nazarea Andrews

* Hanover House by Brenda Novak

For those of you that have Summit Lake by Charlie Donlea...make sure you read it! I loved the book!
My score is at a 78%. I don't usually fall below a 76% but very rarely have an 80%!

[Janet , Moderator]

Hello Sara! Great to see you here. There are a few NetGalley addicts here! :)

Hi Sara, thanks for joining Net Galley Anonymous! I have Summit Lake to read. I'm so glad to hear you enjoyed it!

And where's the fun in that??? I have tried to be good many times, but each time I have banned myself from the site in order to get the numbers on my shelf down, I have missed out on some really good reads. So now I browse away, but I do try (but not too hard)to be a little restrained with my finger on the request button *:D

[Patricia]

I got A Cold White Fear: A Meg Harris mystery and Summit Lake

And I had been doing so good about not requesting.

[Christine]

I am discovering that my attitude and my actions regarding Net Galley are mirrored by my attitudes and actions regarding chocolate.

[Kerry]

I got accepted for:

Those We Left Behind by Stuart Neville
The Violators by Vincenzo Bilof
Assassin's Creed: Underworld by Oliver Bowden
Worlds of Ink and Shadow by Lena Coakley

So... I'm back down to 40% -_-

I adore chocolate so no restraint there but I am trying to read my backlog of books before seeking new ones. But, Netgalley is free for a review so I couldn't hold back there either.

Excellent choices!

[Pia]

We all complain about being addicted, but it's a real nice addiction: it doesn't cost us money, we enjoy a good time reading, we discover new information about other people, countries, etc.

And we meet people that love books as much as we do so, happy reading, fellow addicts!

That little green button gets us all in trouble. It has been 10 days since I have been on NG and damn ladies I am itching to go there. May check it out once a week because 2x a month is for the birds.

Chris, why torture yourself? Go on 3 times a day, but set yourself a number limit like 12 books a month or whatever you think you can handle? If you go on twice a month and pick out 12 each time, you are defeating the purpose of cutting the number of visits so no sense in depriving yourself the visits is there?

I actually totally agree with you, Pia. (-:

I finished Hanover House today. It was a short prequel. Pretty good.
I was just approved for

[Kerry]

Gone Black by Linda Ladd.

Looks pretty good.

[Kerry]

Also got accepted for The Doll's House by M.J. Arlidge, despite preferring US applicants. YAY!

[Christine]

Got approved for Try Not to Breathe: A Novel . Holly Seddon

Uuummm... has anyone else every gotten approved for a book that they don't even remember requesting??

I just got Black Rabbit Hall. I'm now up to 4 and I requested another one yesterday. Oh, dear, I better get reading!!

No, but I often get reminders from Goodreads that books I entered the giveaway for are up for grabs again....and 9/10ths of them I haven't entered the giveaway for....maybe gremlins get at our computers when we are asleep?

@Sandy - I'll go for the gremlin theory!!!

[Janet , Moderator]

I've just put in three requests ..... *sheepish face*

[Chris]

I got approved for . Have to check to see if I have anything else by this author.

[Chris]

Okay I am bored time to start pressing that green button :)

[Christine]

Chris, you go Girl! Don't forget to report back!

[Janet , Moderator]

Doll's House is available now. Frustrating because I've got all of the others. Haven't started reading the series yet.

[Lorrea - WhatChaReadin'?]

I got approved for too. I have so much reading to catch up on.

[Janet , Moderator]

I meant to say isn't available now. The one in the set I haven't got. : \

That's what you get for not checking out Net Galley every day, Janet, lol.

[Janet , Moderator]

It was there one day, gone the next!! Darn! :)
