Yes, I saw the publisher advertising on Twitter about the latest Tom Bale.

Christine (clt04) | 4838 comments Are you asking for it, Janet?


message 2561: by Janet , Moderator (new)

Janet  | 5303 comments Mod
No. I haven't read the previous one though I don't know if they're a series or not.? I've got a fair bit on my plate for now! *she says, trying to stay away from Netgalley and failing miserably!*


message 2562: by Christine (new)

Christine (clt04) | 4838 comments Yeah, I don't know, Janet. You can always pick it up later. Bookouture never prices us out of their books.

True enough. They're a great publisher!


message 2564: by Christine (new)

Christine (clt04) | 4838 comments Yep, very reader friendly.

Megalion Anyone notice that on Wed (or was it Tues) there was another huge deluge in postings? This time it took 8 pages to see them all.

Oh and my latest thriller read was a clear 5 stars: The Devil's Prayer by Luke Gracias . Definitely give it a go. It's a self published book and the author definitely deserves to get picked up by a publishing house.

Sandy | 477 comments I lost my mind & did the same thing, Sean. With what I already have to read/review, is it wrong that I kind of hope to get turned down for a few?


message 2568: by DianeAlice (new)

DianeAlice | 142 comments I got The Devil's Work too Sean. I like his books.


message 2569: by Janet , Moderator (new)

Janet  | 5303 comments Mod
Down to 13 on shelf now and pretty sure there's a couple I'm not going to read. Reluctant to get anymore now unless it's something I REALLY want. *said with optimism!*

Adrian Dooley (adox66) | 246 comments Ha. I have three on my shelf(one of them nearly finished) and feel guilty about keeping the other two waiting on a review!!
I'm not the quickest of readers though. Probably spend a week on a book on average.
Loving this thread though. I think I've sent the majority of my requests from books I've seen on here.

I do the same thing and then I got approved for
All Fall Down, The Love Killings (Detective Matt Jones #2) by Robert Ellis The Stepmother by Claire Seeber . I am being really good since I am still trying to catch up on the physical books.

Megalion Now I get to blame you Sean as I had not yet requested those. ...

Don't you just love this group?


message 2575: by Frances (new)

Frances Rebello (wwwgoodreadscomfrancesr) | 1 comments Hi Just joined this group. I'm looking for some good thrillers. One book I couldn't put down was this book by a new author, Luke Gracias called the Devil's Prayer. I found it on netgalley under horror. The storyline was gripping but had so many fascinating historic references that I was wondering what was fact and what was fiction? The writer weaved so many different styles of genres into one seamlessly. A must-read!

Just think you were doing so well not going on the site. I will be honest with you after going through the posts I am going to head over to see what the buzz is all about.


message 2579: by Zippergirl (new)

Zippergirl | 86 comments I got to 45% with The Quantum Cop and could not get any further. There was hard science, basically physics, but there was way, way too much flirting and kissing and other silly romance stuff. Call me a curmudgeon but I just can't read that kind of fluff. It was well written and might appeal to other readers but I just couldn't finish it.

The Quantum Cop The Quantum Cop by Lesley L. Smith

On the other hand, The Shooting, which I received from Edelweiss, was astonishing in its depth and I recommend it to anyone and everyone who cringes each time they see another shooting death in the news. Which is every day, unless you just stop looking.

The Shooting The Shooting by James Boice

I'm reading Sealed Up which, from the cover, looks like an Indiana Jones clone, but it's got so much more going on. There is a televangelist, a quadriplegic anthropologist, an undercover DEA agent and a freaky Mayan shaman. Looks like it's heading to a five star rating.

I have 8 on my reading list. Really wish that I liked reading off a reader but I still prefer the physical books.


message 2581: by Christine (new)

Christine (clt04) | 4838 comments But all your NG books are read on an ereader, right, Chris?


message 2582: by Jen (new)

Jen | 48 comments Just finished All Fall Down. It's a stand alone for those who were wondering and it's a cracker. I'm trying to stay away now other than posting reviews as finaly down to ony about 10 in my NetGalley TBR list and over 80% feedback.

I'm a sucker for a good book.

Unfortunately they are so between the physical books and my NG books I really don't need anything else to read but I am seeing all these good books that people are posting and I am itching to get more. Christine don't forget my Nook. One of the reasons I read 3, 4 or 5 books at a time.

BTW would like to thank all of the addicted NG readers you especially you Christine on doubling my reading list when I was down to 4 LOL. I was being so good catching up on my physical books.

While I'm at it what book have you read Christine that you just couldn't put down from NG. .

Always happy to help people expand their tbr lists, Chris!!! Well, you are limiting me to one NG book? Hmmmm. Looking at my list from 2016 only, I would say Play Dead (D.I. Kim Stone #4) by Angela Marsons and The Night Stalker (DCI Erika Foster, #2) by Robert Bryndza tie for first. Not that you asked, but what book would I highly recommend for you that is not a NG book? That's easy. I would pick Shadow Man (Smoky Barrett, #1) by Cody McFadyen . Don't you dare let that one rot on your list, Chris!

Congrats, Jan. I won Brain Storm (Death Investigator Angela Richman #1) by Elaine Viets this week--first win in 2 years. You have a huge challenge reading books 1-4 of that Iles series--thousands of pages! I dumped that series off my list as the books are too darn loooong!
