Do what the doctor says though and no sneaky reading under the sheets with a flashlight!

Thank you, guys! Looks like I'll be forced to take it slow, I pulled a muscle in my hip/left side and I can only either stay up or lie straight - anything in between hurts like hell :/

I will have to slow down on my reading in Feb, as it takes 3 months for the sight to come back. .."A friend had this done and it made such a difference! She was able to see much better within a relatively short time but it took that sort of time for her sight to stabilise again. I hope all goes well for you - and I'd definitely consider checking out some audiobooks ready!

Me too! :)
Wow it only took 2 hours for me to get this book approved
. I AM NOT going crazy this year. I just received 20 books from B&N. I am never gonna have time to read everything.
*shoots over to NetGalley*
I don't know how many books I have waiting to be read. Well over a thousand. I know I won't read them all but it is nice to have a choice! That's the way I look at it now.

That's one way to look at it. I just finished a book that was published in 1996 :)
I've got to buckle down and get my Netgalley books read and reviewed. The second half of 2015 had so much going on that I did get some reading done but not any of the six Netgalley books sitting there to be read. Don't know why but this weather and the time change have thrown me off, I am so tired all the time just have no energy lately. Don't know if it is something going around our not, a few other people have mentioned feeling the same. Anyway, I need to focus on the Netgalley books I have.

lol, I have over 6,000 books on my Kindle. Quite a few of them were free, but it is a lot to read. Of course, I continue adding to them. I do like that I have a choice of various genres to fit whatever I want to read at that moment.

Way to spin it, Janet! You go girl!

Good show, Chris. Only 20 more years worth to go!

I got approval for The Girl In The Ice early this morning. I briefly net the author on FB earlier and told him our plans for a buddy read. He said he hopes we all enjoy his book and thank you! :)
I haven't had auto approval from anyone. I suspect it maybe something to do with the fact that I rarely read my approvals before publication!! :-D It's all good.
I've just had 'The Girl in the Ice' approved. Can't wait.
Currently reading Helen Dunmore's 'The Exposure' from Netgalley.. slow starting but I'm persevering.

How often do people get the books they request?"There isn't a set answer, Diane . . . some publishers will agree almost immediately, others seem to take months to decide one way or the other! Some folks have recommended by starting by reading the 'Read Now' books which you can download straight away to read. Hope you're going to try to join us reading The Girl In The Ice!

That's a Netgallery book request?
I've requested The Girl in the Ice. Will I get an email telling me I'm getting it or will it just show up in my Kindle app since I gave them that address?
Diane Lynch wrote: "I've requested The Girl in the Ice.

You can then select in what format you want to download it....
You can also choose some other books that you'll be able to download immediately from the Read Now section. To find that, click on the header menu link to "Find Titles", then click on the "Read Now" link which appears in the left hand menu. Watch out, it's addictive and there are some brilliant books!
Diane Lynch wrote: "I've requested The Girl in the Ice.

Once accepted, then you can download to your favorite device. The Girl in the Ice was pretty quick in their notification, so you should hear back soon :)
Diane Lynch wrote: "Thanks Elaine and Jan"No problem, Diane - any time! Chances are that if it's regarding NetGalley, if I don't know the answer I'll know someone who is another reader and does. . . . others will confirm I use it a lot!
I'm being very bad... I have more than 60 approved books waiting to be read and about 15 waiting for approval.If there's a group read for
can you let me know?
Hopefully, Pia. There's a bunch of us that have this now so a big buddy read read would be good! :)
