And not sure if you caught that there is going to be a group read of The Girl on Ice starting Feb 1st. Join in! :)

Yeah, Pia, it does. Hopefully it is.

Yes Wendy do join in. Christine is the first to complete I think.

Christine (clt04) | 4838 comments Yeah, I lost all control. Couldn't stop.

Vera (Estante da Vera) (estantedavera) | 82 comments Just got approved for The Missing Hours by Emma Kavanagh . Plot seems interesting.

Christine (clt04) | 4838 comments Lucky Vera. We can't get it in the US.

Really? Wow, that's the first time I've seen this.

Only a matter of time, Christine. I haven't gone for it. My new rule is not to go for every new book out there. Want to read some older stuff too. I'm being good! :)

I have it to read Christine. I hope they post it for you guys!


message 1719: by Pia (new)

Pia | 40 comments I got The Missing Hours by Emma Kavanagh and I live in Mexico... so maybe you can ask for it Christine?

I didn't think they'd approve me as UK publishers are quite strict about where you live, but guess I was lucky this time


message 1720: by Christine (new)

Christine (clt04) | 4838 comments I remember trying to get her first book, Falling/After We Fall last year. No go on Net Galley. Finally found it at bookdepository.com. Took forever to be released in US.

I hear you, Janet. My new rule is that I really really have to want to read it to request it (or it's a read for review request that happens to be on Net Galley). That's how I feel about Kavanagh's books as I simply loved After We Fall.

I've got an email with some widgets earlier of books I could have from a publisher. Probably went out to loads of people. And author Clare Donoghue posted a widget of her latest release, Trust No One, which I did download. I enjoyed her previous titles and like the protagonists.

I've just been perusing my Kindle cloud, oh god, I've got books I've completely forgotten about!! :-\


message 1723: by Christine (new)

Christine (clt04) | 4838 comments I have LOADS of books I have forgotten about, Janet. It's just ridiculous!!!

What's weird Christine, is that I was in a bookshop earlier today and seeing books that I know I've got and have had them FOR AGES!! Just not getting round to reading enough..... Arrgghhhhhhhhh


message 1725: by Christine (last edited Feb 05, 2016 04:09PM) (new)

Christine (clt04) | 4838 comments I try to tell myself that having too many wonderful choices is much better than wondering where my next good read is coming from. But then it's hard to think I will never be able to read the majority of them.


message 1726: by Janet , Moderator (new)

Janet  | 5302 comments Mod
Yeah, true enough. I guess it's nice to have one's own library! :)


message 1727: by Christine (new)

Christine (clt04) | 4838 comments That it is!


message 1729: by Diane S ☔ (new)

Diane S ☔ | 2077 comments Just got that one too and I was doing so good not requesting books. I blame Chelsea. Obviously I am susceptible to peer pressure. Lol


message 1730: by Chris (new)

Chris | 267 comments Geeze I have been really good. I love having a library (and trust me I do) as Christine mentioned but it has gotten so big I may actually have to get a bigger kindle.

Janet  | 5302 comments Mod
Chris..... That's a big library!! :-D

What would NG do without this group. I like potato chips but like peanuts even more.


message 1747: by Christine (new)

Christine (clt04) | 4838 comments Me too, Chris, but I like chocolate even better than my beloved peanuts (must be the unshelled ones)!


message 1748: by Chris (new)

Chris | 267 comments Well I just got approval for When I'm Gone A Novel by Emily Bleeker . I really have to stop requesting books. I got this books for peanuts lol


message 1749: by Faouzia (new)

Faouzia | 252 comments Got another book The Verne Legacy :) but i'm stopping with requests until i read these :)


Elaine - Splashes Into Books (bicted) | 70 comments Ok, so I said I wasn't going to ask for any more till I'd got down to 60 tbr again . . . . but the publishers told me about this one and it sounds so good I just couldn't ignore them, could I?

I've just had approved For Dead Men Only For Dead Men Only (Alexandra Gladstone, #4) by Paula Paul from Random House Alibi - love their mystery/thrillers!
