I know it is funny how it works. The other day I was approved for a book only two hours after requesting it in the middle of the night. Other times, you can put in a request and a month later you get a response.

Forgive this newbie to GR and groups- what is netgalley?

,Play Dead by Angela Marsons"Happy for you, Adrian. Requested yesterday and waiting for approval!
Michele wrote: "Forgive this newbie to GR and groups- what is netgalley?"Michele, NetGalley allows reviewers,book store owners, etc to get a preliminary copy of a book so that they'll review it. It features all major publishers, and books are authorized based on your requests and your profile - so if u have a good approval/feedback ratio and if you are from a country that the publisher thinks is a good target market, u are likely to be approved.
hope this helps?

After back-to-back denials for two of my favorite authors, Linda Castillo and Nevada Barr, I finally got back on track with approval for Dugoni's In the Clearing. I am about 30% of the way through Her Final Breath, so that's perfect!

Dugoni is coming up for open discussion May 17th.
Later Little Jean.

I just have to try and get Linda Castillo, a great author.
Oh Dear what to read next....
Angela Marson, Sharon Bolton...

There is just too much choice. And I'm so very weak I can't resist. Now ordering my tbr list according to release dates to try and get it beat lol
I can't believe it. I just got approved for Among The Wicked by Linda Castillo. And I'm a newbie at NetGalley.

Thank you. I am such a fan of her books.
How many books do you guys keep on your shelf? Im new to all this and already feel guilty for having 3 sitting on my shelf waiting to be read, especially Angela Marsons latest as I have the second and third in the series still to read before getting to it!
I have 3 waiting to be read also. I try not to have more than that. But I am waiting to hear back on 2 other books I requested. That darn green button.
Oops--I'm up to lucky 13 and I've been reading like a crazy woman.3 is showing amazing self-control, I would say.

That's because I have 8 books from the library to read also.
Forgive me if this is under the wrong topic. Joni Dee is a fellow Good Thriller member. He's writing a fantastic book. Summary-James Bond story BUT who are the good guys. I'm looking forward to the comp,teed bookLink to it http://www.jondbooks.com/download-pdf/
Quick, intriguing, fun read. Go ahead. I dare you. LOL
Adrian, I must stay under 10 and prefer to be 5 or less. Currently have 3. Anymore than that is just too darn stressful. You don't want to get out of control and not be able to read the non Net Galley books that you are dying to read.
My review on a book many of you have approved.
Thank you to Net Galley, The Publishers and the author David Harrison(Tom Bale)for a ARC copy
How far would you go to save your family?
In the dead of night, new parents Alice and Harry French are plunged into their worst nightmare when they wake to find masked men in their bedroom. Men ruthless enough to threaten their baby daughter, Evie.
This is no burglary gone wrong.
The intruders know who they’re looking for – a man called Edward Renshaw.
And they are prepared to kill to get to him.
When the men leave empty handed, little do Alice and Harry realise that their nightmare is just beginning. Is it a case of mistaken identity? Who is Renshaw? And what is he hiding?
One thing is clear – they already know too much !!
Terrifying, rollercoaster of a ride full of twists and turns, this stunning and gripping thriller will have you on the edge of your seat right to the very last page!
A totally intense thriller, had me engrossed, I just had to keep reading, I just had to know what was going to happen, full of great characters, full of very nasty characters, full of shocks, chases, and action. A thriller of a ride!
Really enjoyed the catch, but this author is getting better and better.
A powerful five star book from me. A book I just could not put down.
Thanks again Net Galley.
Buy this book, it comes out in May 2016 !

The book should come out around the year's end, I promise that anyone who reads, orders and reaches out will be a beta reader, for the pre edited version, should they want, so needn't wait too long.
Again - thanks Diane! x
After approval I've downloaded Death Do Us Part (DI Brook 6) by Steven Dunne. I've got some catching up to do with this series, read the first two and enjoyed.
I'm not going to request Linda Castillo's latest, I'm a few books behind in the series so it seems a bit unfair.
Still not able to read much, just not finding the time. :-(

Has anyone been approved for Ruth Ware's or David Bell's latest books? I really hope i get approved (and soon)!

Gotta put it in your schedule, Janet. Even if only 30-40 minutes a day. Do it for you.
Finished Dark Houses by Helen H Durrant. Wasn't overly impressed to be honest. My review is here: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...Tempted to start Play Dead by Angela Marsons which I've been approved for. Problem is I've only read the first part of the series and have two and three on the kindle to read also!
Was very bad today. Approved for Burn What Will Burn
The Angel of History: A NovelA Gentleman in Moscow
Since She Went Away

Thanks to the Kindle App, I have one on my phone, two on my tablet, using bluefire reader for one of them.

Lisa wrote: "Can someone tell me a but about being approved? Not sure what that means."It is when you request a book and they send you an email saying you have been approved with link (to NG) to download it.
I got
and read it within a day. Rounded up to 4 stars. I read
last week. Definitely a thriller read. Next thriller I have to read is
. I'm optimistic!
The Last One
. Am currently reading Robert Dugoni's newest book,
In the Clearing, which was the last one I had approved. It's nice to be back on the approval side after a couple of denials!
I'm sort of shocked. Two more approvals today brings me to an unbroken strreak of 9. Neither are thrillers. Did get Zero K today from Edelweiss. Curious to see what all the DeLillo fuss is about.
