Adrian Dooley (adox66) | 246 comments Despite my shelf having the most books it has ever had on it I couldn't resist requesting Liar by KL Slater, especially after she tweeted "boo Adrian" to me when I told Bookouture they had a brilliant line up of books currently for request but I would resist requesting Liar as I already had so many. 😀

Hah!! Suckers!! 😉 😀 I'm diligently working on my shelf to clear it. I haven't read The Missing Ones yet (mine isn't a NetGalley) so I won't request the next one. I've nearly cleared two series of books, woo hoo!

Enjoy your new approvals! 😀

LOL, LOL, LOL, Adrian! Maybe you should tweet her that you folded and requested her book because of her unique style of recommendation.

message 3164: by Maureen (new)

Maureen Carden | 363 comments I also really got tired that at some point all of my favorite female characters have been gang raped. Not just raped but gang raped. Although plenty of single raped too. Now I'm starting to see it pop up with the men too. I'd like to think there are other reason for characters to be traumatized.

It's so hard not to want them all!! I do have a question for any seasoned reviewers. How far in advance from the release date do you post your reviews?

Hey, Koffee. Like Chris, I post them as soon as I finish, no matter when that is. I have never had a publisher tell me not to do that.


message 3183: by Christine (last edited May 19, 2017 10:42AM) (new)

Christine (clt04) | 4838 comments Approved for Bookouture's Two Sisters. Two Sisters by Kerry Wilkinson by Kerry Wilkinson whom I am liking a lot.


message 3184: by Adrian (new)

Adrian Dooley (adox66) | 246 comments Yeah I post my reviews as soon as I've finished as I'd never remember otherwise.

I do like when publishers send you an email on publication day to encourage you to post your review on Amazon.


message 3185: by Diane S ☔ (new)

Diane S ☔ | 2077 comments Approved for Solar Bones Solar Bones by Mike McCormack


message 3186: by Mary Beth (new)

Mary Beth  | 786 comments Yay Christine and Diane! Congrats on your approvals.

I got approved today for I Know A Secret I Know A Secret (Rizzoli & Isles, #12) by Tess Gerritsen . I am so excited because I love this series and have been waiting for this book since I have been up to date in this series.
It will at least keep me off of netgalley for a week.

message 3189: by David (new)

David Staniforth (davidstaniforth) | 1127 comments The last Robotham that I got from Netgalley came with a request that the review should not be published until the release date was close.

As it didn't contain spoilers, and thinking I might forget, I published it as soon as I'd finished reading the book.


message 3190: by Sue (new)

Sue (coccotoro) | 2087 comments Just approved for Two Sisters Two Sisters by Kerry Wilkinson by Kerry Wilkinson. Looking forward to reading this. Again from my favourite publisher, Bookouture!


message 3191: by Mary Beth (new)

Mary Beth  | 786 comments Yay Sue! Enjoy!

I won a book giveaway on Goodreads!
It was for The Secret Room (Zoe Goldman, #3) by Sandra Block The Secret Room by Sandra Block
It is also a netgalley book.

Thanks Mary. THE SECRET ROOM is the third installment in Zoe Goldman series by Sandra Block. Having read the first two: The Girl Without a Name and Little Black Lies, I really enjoyed them. Enjoy!


message 3193: by Mary Beth (new)

Mary Beth  | 786 comments Do you have to read them in order, do you think? I was going to read this one then go to the first book. Sort of backwards lol!

I recommend reading all the books in sequence to understand the background on Dr. Zoe Goldman. In the second book in the series, The Girl Without a Name, this book picks up where the other book left off. Now in the 3rd installment of this series, THE SECRET ROOM, this is Zoe’s first year as a psychiatrist (Forensic psychiatry fellowship) in a prison facility.


message 3195: by Mary Beth (new)

Mary Beth  | 786 comments Thanks so much Sue for the advice. I usually read my series in order. I am going to read it in order since it looks like there is a cliffhanger.


message 3196: by Rich (new)

Rich | 164 comments any series you should read in order-why would you not?


message 3197: by Mary Beth (new)

Mary Beth  | 786 comments I usually dont unless I win a book and have to read and review it and someone says that they are standalones which I have only done it once and after I read the book I went bsck and read them in order. They were stand alones so it was O.K.


Kelby *TwistedCactusReads* (twistedcactusreads) Approved this week for Two Nights by Kathy Reichs , The Unquiet Grave by Sharyn McCrumb , Full Wolf Moon (Jeremy Logan, #5) by Lincoln Child , Before We Were Yours by Lisa Wingate

Adrian Dooley (adox66) | 246 comments Got an email from St Martins press with a pre approval link for The Other Girl by Erica Spindler

Love when that happens. I'm not auto approved with any publishers so love it when I just get offered a book by them.

Me too, Adrian. I jumped at the chance to get it even though I'm overloaded with NG books at the moment.
