This one sure does look good Sue and Christer. But, I am taking the oversimplified Nancy Reagan approach of "Just say no."

I really enjoyed the pace of this one. It's funny that you are told what happens up front, but the flow of the book is so great you just need to know what happens next. I had to set reading limits for myself, otherwise I'd have stayed up all night to finish it in one sitting. Anyway, i hope you enjoy it as much as i did. :)

Hi, what did you need to do to get approved to receive ARCs from Net Galley?

Hi Angela, just head over to netgalley.com and register, fill out your profile and start requesting! Nothing more than that involved...it can be hit or miss as far as which publishers will approve you, but it gets easier down the road with a few reviews under your belt. Hope this helps, and good luck :)

message 1521: by Darkslyric (new)

Darkslyric | 117 comments As I am new to Netgalley I hope someone can answer this question for me. As I look at my books I have been approved for there is a column for when books will be archived. does this mean I will lose the book at that said date? any help would be greatly appreciated.

No Darkslyric. As long as you have downloaded the book before the archive date, you will not lose the book, and can move it over to your read list, and then provide feedback, when you have read it. When I get approved for any book on Netgalley, I download it immediately to my Kindle.

Yes, it's best to download as soon as you can to your Kindle/reading device. I've lost a couple of books because I'd forgotten to download and they had already been archived when I realised. A stupid error.

message 1527: by Chris (new)

Chris | 267 comments I have lost many books that way so to me it is a lesson learned. When I get a book I look at the archive date and I try to download the book within a week depending on how busy I am.

Hey Christine I been good haven't been on the site for 2 weeks guess I am slipping.

message 1529: by Cameron (new)

Cameron Wiggins | 369 comments Hey Christine and Deanna. I broke down. I don,t know if it was the way that I looked, the things that I said, or the color of my hair but I was approved for She's Not There by Joy Fielding and Hap and Leonard by Joe R. Lansdale. I have read Lansdale's The Bottoms and it is one of my favorite books.


message 1530: by Christine (new)

Christine (clt04) | 4838 comments Way to go, CamMan. Want to know what you think of the Fielding book. I would love to read that, but my NGs are piling up despite my reading them pretty fast. I'm in a mini slump at the moment. Hope it goes away fast.

Think everyone is in the slump. I personally am doing very well not going on the site. Can't stay away to see what everyone else got approved. Half way through the month and I haven't been on NG I am trying to hold off till after the New Year.

Christine (clt04) | 4838 comments I'm disappointed, Sean. I thought you were going for the record.

Vera (Estante da Vera) (estantedavera) | 82 comments I sent a few requests today and already got one, but I only did it because I plan to finish the one I'm currently reading this weekend (I was planning to finish it today but got distracted). I have way too many books on my TBR list already.

I am still on 63 books.

Just had to read some books that have been sent to me recently.

Unholy Alliances by author member Kevin Patrick, and debut author Clear by Fire by Joshua Hood, and also Deadly Savage by Dave Edlund.

All author members and also have a draft sent to me by e-mail for me to read by a top Scotland Yard Detective for my thoughts.

Although reading a Net Galley book at the moment.

Hi Lynn. The book is Alloria (Labyrinth of labyrinths, #1) by David M. Staniforth . It didn't throw me into a slump--I read is quite a few months ago. It's a great story with superb writing. Give it a shot.
