Oh, it is, DA!!

[DianeAlice]

O good! It's a stand alone isn't it? I'm not jumping into the middle of a series am I eek?!

[Christine]

Lynn, in your reviews, you do not have to recapitulate the story. I never do. The key is to make sure you state what you liked, what you didn't like, your overall impression of the book, and what type of reader you would recommend the book to.

[DianeAlice]

Chris, and other reviewers, do you make notes as you go along to remind yourself of points you want to make in your reviews? This is why I find it so hard to do a proper review, I worry I'll forget things about the book and just end up with 'I liked/didn't like the book and not much else which obviously isn't helpful to anyone.

[DianeAlice]

Maybe I over think it.

[Sue]

I always make notes for every book I read. Makes it easier for me, when I go to write my review.

[DianeAlice]

Thanks Sue, I was thinking that would be the easiest way to do it. Perhaps I'll jot a note after each chapter then do my review from the main points.

[Sue]

That is exactly what I do.

Very rarely, DA. I always wait a day after I finish a book to write the review. Let's it sift around in my head--really helps bring it together.

I have requested a few more, after being well behaved and not going on for over a week.

Requested Todd Ritter book

also Roger Hobbs book is up for requesting, the author of the great The Ghostman.

2-3 others books.

[Janet , Moderator]

My latest approval is No Other Darkness

Sarah's first book was Someone Else's Skin

A newish author I highly recommend - her books have been picked up by a tv production company, may come to fruition, may not, but I think you'd enjoy the books. The makings of a good series in my opionion. Really glad I got book two. It's the kind of stuff we enjoy and read. May well be a Q&A contender too - if you read her books!

[[deleted user]]

I've just has that approved Janet, really pleased as I really likes her debut!

[Janet , Moderator]

Good, I'm glad.

[Sue]

Just requested The Bones of You by Debbie Howells from Netgalley. Will wait and see!

Just checked my email...and I got approved!!!!

[[deleted user]]

Same Sue just had that come through! Noticed quite a few good looking books pop up on Netgalley last few days.

[Janet , Moderator]

I'm being seriously selective, have to be now. Serious backlog of none NetGalley reads.

That's true, but you have to be selective. I now have 3 books in total to read from Netgalley. I also won 2 books last night in Goodreads Giveaway Contest.

What did you win, Sue?? I haven't won anything in many months now. I am due!

[Sue]

I won: The Lady from Zagreb by Philip Kerr and You Will Never Find Me by Robert Wilson.

[[deleted user]]

Chris, a lot of new titles on Netgalley look good. :)

Gonna take a look. I did request that Lisa Genova book about the O'Briens a few days ago, but haven't heard.

[[deleted user]]

Hope you get it Chris.
I still think about that book sometimes. The characters and subject content.

Yes, that book looked good but depressing.

[[deleted user]]

I know what you mean Sue. It is a sad and scary book. But I thought the characters really made that book. I like reading books like that sometimes. Makes me appreciative of what I take for granted.

[Sue]

So true and well said, Kimberley.

[Janet , Moderator]

Another approval I've had today is You Belong To Me

I've read Samantha's previous two books Until You're Mine which was great What You Left Behind which was pretty good, so pleased to get this one.

They are standalones, right, Janet?

[Janet , Moderator]

Yes, indeedy!

Until You're Mine is really good, highly recommend that one. Believe it's on offer at the moment at Bookbub.

[Christine]

Thanks, Janet. Yep, I grabbed Until You're Mine for $1.99 a few days ago.

[Janet , Moderator]

Good. You'll like it!

[Christine]

On my before-I-die list, lol.

[Janet , Moderator]

I dread to think how long that list is?!! Try not to die for around, I don't know, a thousand years or so ..... you got books to read, girlfriend!!! ;))

Sweet, we can talk about it. Yippie :)

I thought the blurb for Eeny Meeny sounded really good to, but I have not requested it yet. I want to finish the one book that I have so my percentage is good.

[Sue]

I also got approved for
today, in order to post my review on the site. It was an amazing book. I am just about to start the next book, by M.J. Arlidge. Can't wait. Enjoy Eeny Meeny everyone!
