Yeah, happened to me once or twice too.

[Chris]

Chris I got approved for this and I didn't even start with the green button :)

[Christine]

I didn't even hit NG today because I got slammed with work. That was a choice I made on one of my days. The only reason I requested it was because it reminds me of my aunt's small coal mining town.

Just been offered a copy of The Beauty of the End by Debbie Howells....didn't even have to think about it ...said yes please! Really enjoyed The Bones of You which she also wrote

[Diane Lynch]

Hi Sean. Guess who has a question?! Me. What is this? Books that will go on the sites Bookshelves? How does this happen?

Go to Netgalley.com register, fill out a short profile and start requesting books. There are ready to read books and galleys that aren't published yet. Good luck with the choices. FYI that green button can be dangerous as you can see by the posts here.

TY Chris

Neither have I. I watched the Flowers in the Attic series on Lifetime earlier this year and I want to go back and read the books.

[Janet , Moderator]

Gosh I haven't looked at those in years. Read the first three or four as a teenager way back when!

[Sean, Moderator]

Diane ,

many here will explain how this works, but be careful it's addictive.

Once you join www.netgalley.com, pop in here and one of us will explain more.

But as explained by Chris, it is that simple, just request books you want to read, and see how many you get approved, well and denied.

If you were a reader in your teens, VC Andrews is a name that will stay with you, just like Judy Blume. Brings back a flood of memories, like an old song. I may have to take a peek at Andrews new book for kicks!

Sage's Eyes is the first book of a new series. Your age is showing Janet that is why I said "like in years" lol.

[Janet , Moderator]

Lol! :-D

[Christine]

Yeah, we all know Janet is, what, about 96?

[Mochaspresso]

VC Andrews is a major blast from the past, but isn't she dead? Is this an old book that was never published?

She actually passed away back in the 80s I believe but the family hired a ghostwriter to finish her stories and continue to release books based on her work under her name.

Hey all I know is that it is about a girl that is raised some relative and if it is anything like Flowers it won't be pretty. I pressed the green button on a whim and publication date is January, 2016.

[Janet , Moderator]

Hahahaha! Not far off, Chris!

[Jean]

V.C. Andrews! Gosh! I read those Flowers in the Attic books SO many years ago. I was really into them too, but now that I think about them, they sort of give me the creeps. I looked up her bio - she was born in 1923 and died in 1986. Blast from the past, for sure!

Ahh. I see. Thanks. Well, I requested it and got approved pretty quickly. :)

Every time I think of V.C. Andrews I also think of John Saul. They were the authors for the creepy books. Not like today when the big genre is vampires and zombies.

[Lorrea - WhatChaReadin'?]

I can't get into vampires and zombies...I like my stuff to be at least plausible....no offense to those to love vampires and zombies

Every time I see the Twilight movies on my channel guide, I put my hand on my forehead as if I'm about to faint(Dramatically) and say, "I'm in love with a werewolf and a vampire, whatever shall I do??"

[Janet , Moderator]

Lol! Know what you mean. It's stuff I usually avoid.

[Chris]

I personally would read a zombie and/or vampire book over a romance book.

[Christine]

Ooh boy, Chris. Nothing ranks lower than zombies and vampires in my mind. Even dystopia is higher.

[Janet , Moderator]

I did put in a request for Our Endless Numbered Days by Claire Fuller and got approval. Looking forward to see which side I fall on.

*running to see what this one is about*

[Christine]

This is still on Net Galley, Janet? It's actually in the library here.

[Janet , Moderator]

Not sure if still on NetGalley. I got approval a couple of days ago. Book looks interesting.

[Christine]

I looked it up--not available to Americans. A lot of the reviews talk about a gobsmacking ending!

[Janet , Moderator]

I better get to it soon then! :-D

[Kerry]

I've been away for a little while so haven't updated what I've been getting. This list is going to be a bit long because of that lol. SO! Onto the list of all the approvals since my last post:

Hidden Bodies by Caroline Kepnes (the sequel to You, which I'm LOVING)
Perfect Days by Raphael Montes
Ugly by Margaret McHeyzer
Our Endless Numbered Days by Claire Fuller
After She's Gone by Lisa Jackson

Got declined for Find Her by Lisa Gardener because I'm not in America which I'm sad about, but eh, it was a long shot since I'm a lil English chicken.

[Janet , Moderator]

Lol you little English chicken!!

Just got accepted for Hanover House by Brenda Novak and am so excited because it follows what career path I want to take (forensic psychology). I hope it's good. High high hopes for this one.

[Christine]

Kerry, it's more of an intro to the characters. Doesn't really get into the nitty gritty, but I am thinkimg the first novel will. Not out till much later in 2016 though. )-: I plan to read it for sure.

You have lots of reading to do.

[Traci]

I've been reading other things and so had taken a NetGalley break (while my feedback to approval ratio was 100% - haha). However, I came upon and realized that I had really liked another book by the author (Dancing with Rose: Finding Life in the Land of Alzheimer's). Actually entered a giveaway for Raising the Barre, but didn't win - no surprise there. It occurred to me that it might be on NetGalley though, so requested it and was approved in less than 30 minutes - yay!!! Hope it's as good as Dancing with Rose.
