NetGalley Books ... Just Had Approved Showing 2,201-2,250 of 4,238

[Megalion]

Nearly done with Medea's Curse
Solid 4 stars. Maybe even 4.5 stars.

[Zippergirl]

Megalion: I think DeLillo can go either way with readers. Either he's lyrical or he talks too much.

It was beautiful and thoughtful, but all inner dialog, which doesn't mean nothing happens, it's just that you see it through the eyes of the narrator. And he does have some quirky things going on. ;)

[Christine]

Just grabbed as a Read Now. Thanks, Megalion!

[Zippergirl]

Big dump of new books at Net Galley.

Go for it.

[Jen]

Just got The Hanging Club. Really enjoying this series so can't wait to get stuck in.

LOL, DJZ, better to have a couple of great gifted books than a badge!

[Christine]

Holy Cow, Bookouture approved me in 2 minutes, I kid you not, for

I am determined to clear some books with this long weekend. Not made to 80% yet but keep getting so close lol. Of course if they'd just stop putting good books on ...

Really enjoyed it so hope you can get it. After reading the short last month I knew it would be a good one and I wasn't disappointed at all.

Back down to eight to read now. Or it could still be 9. I'm confused lol

[Megalion]

Yep, denied for Hanging Club.... but I notice it's from Random House UK so maybe that's why?

[Christine]

Yep, those "foreign" requests rarely come through, Megalion.

[Diane S ☔]

Approved for City of the Lost and Absalom's Daughters: A Novel

Yay Christine! I was just approved for this one too. I still haven't read the first one!

[Todd]

Bookature approved me two days ago for Roberts book - The Night Stalker. It really is very good.

[Todd]

Oops Bookouture. If they see I can't spell, they may not want to Approve me again. lol.

[Megalion]

They've got a night owl over there. Approved for Last To Die shortly after midnight on west coast.

[Christine]

I know, Megalion! Bookouture OK'ed me for After the Lie by Kerry Fisher at 7:50 AM UK time this Sunday morning. Must be somebody's 24/7 job! I'm happy to have yet another Bookouture book to read.

Was just approved for this one, too, Christine. They hold you in the highest regard at Bookouture! Thanks for all your book recommendations from them. You are always spot on!

[Christine]

Thanks, Linda. I can't wait to get to these. My new strategy is to only request books that I already know I really want to read. Not taking a lot of chances.

I absolutely agree! There's always a chance of getting a dud once in a while, but some individuals request a book they know they have no interest in and then give it a bad review. Not fair to author. I've lessened my requests and, as you've mentioned, read the ones that I'll go into with much enthusiasm. Works for me and works for the author! Ha!

[Megalion]

Wow, I really hope they are far and few in between.

Even if I accidently notice poor reviews in advance, I start out with best intentions to LIKE the book.

[Zippergirl]

I wimped out on:

Stalk Me (different cover on the new release)

It was too creepy. Well-written, I just couldn't handle it. :-|

Had to apologize to the publisher at Net Galley.

[Christine]

No problem doing that, DJZ. I dnf'ed a Net Galley book once too.

[Zippergirl]

Haha. There's a lot of um, blood n guts.

[Sue]

Just got approved for The Night Stalker by Robert Bryndza. Can't wait to read it!
