Yes so far it is good.
Not to be stalking you or anything Sean but I loved that book too. You have some great ones lined up.
Refused for
Two refusals in a row for me after a good run of approvals has me a little down :(

Thanks Janet. I usually have no more than 2-3 on my shelf at any one time. I should really stack some. I still have loads of books on my kindle unread that I've purchased or have been free but I've been reading mostly NetGalley titles the last few months.
Adrian, I got turned down for a Net Galley Christmas book this week!
Ha! Well that's just mean of them Christine!

You go, buddy!!!
Turned down for The Dry by Jane Harper. Getting more refusals than ever now, which is a bit disheartening.
That's about 5 refusals and 22 approvals for me. 3 refusals in the last 6 or 7 requests has made me more cautious.
Would that be an abnormally high percentage of refusals?
Adrian, I don't request that much, but got one day requested 3 books and was refused for all three! I wouldn't be converned. Also some publishers always refuse me. You might check that out.
Thanks Christine. Two of the five refusals are from the same publisher so I'll be wary of them in the future. I'm just having a moan really. I have dozens of titles on my kindle to read as it is, purchased from Amazon so I amnt short of reading material.
Approved for
Requested a few minutes after my moaning post about refusals so a nice quick approval. That will teach me.
Had to wait quite a while for this approval, but it's proving to be worth the wait: The Trapped Girl
. Love Dugoni and love this series!

Netgalley has been really quiet for me since the beginning of Dec. God help me if even half my requests come through!
Approved for
Blink by K.L. Slater"Enjoyed the previous novel Safe With Me so looking forward to reading this.
Approved for
Really enjoyed The Girls Next Door so looking forward to this second instalment.
I was approved for Heartbreak Hotel
and Everything You Want Me to Be
for a few weeks ago. I am new to NetGalley and I am putting those on my to read list for the upcoming week.
Jaime wrote: "I was approved for Heartbreak Hotel and Everything You Want Me to Be for a few ..."I am a really big of Jonthan Kellerman and enjoy Dr. D and Sturgis in his book. It is a good read.
I really, really liked Everything You Want Me To Be, Jaime! I rated it five star but not for it being powerful or anything. Just a good, fun, and well written suspense option. Fun because it's a "gooder" and I didn't want to put it down.
Happy New Year Amy!! *waving back*And to everyone else as well :)
5 stars from me too for Everything You Want Me to Be. Jean and I met the author, Mindy Mejia, at a small gathering at a local library a week ago. We listened to her talk and got to ask her several questions. So nice. We bought a hardback version of the book and she signed it for us as well. Just love meeting authors. Wish more came our way.
