NetGalley Books ... Just Had Approved Showing 301-350 of 4,237

[Patricia]

I do not have a blog or any *followers* except for Goodreads and I think they want those with blogs, twitter feeds etc. I'm not into that and don't want to do it just for the sake of getting books at Netgalley.

[Patricia]

If it's about the blogs, then they are missing out on some *beautiful minds*.

[Christine]

Agree with both of your posts, Pat. There are plenty of book sources out there for us other than net Galley.

[Gopal]

I think what they are looking at in Net Galley is mostly people who can get the word out for their books.

I have a blog, but then I have been rejected for a couple of books as well. So you can never say what's the case there, since the rejections sometimes don't have any reason, its a guessing game I guess....

Since I blog about what I read, Net Galley makes sense to me, but I don't blog just to please Net Galley.

That said my feedback ratio is pretty much in the low 20% due to # of books on my shelf which are not yet read. I read at my own pace, and I request books from Net Galley that I think I would like reading, if they don't want to give it to me based on my feedback ration it is their loss.

I do review every book that I have finished reading through Net Galley though on my blog and on GoodReads..

[Christine]

Good stuff, Gopal.

[Gopal]

Thanks Christine!!! :)

[Patricia]

Thanks for the information, Gopal.

[Christine]

That's great! I haven't gotten to it yet because it is still hard to hold my head up to read. I've been listening to audio books in the meantime. Hopefully I will be back to normal soon. Going for a ride to camp yesterday was so nice to get out on a nice day, but I had to go straight to bed when we got home.

[Christine]

I am glad you can still listen to audiobooks, Lynn, and that you are getting out. Audiobooks are slower than books, but still a great thing to have access too. Keep getting better!!!

Sean told us he had 30 about 10 days ago. Are you closing in on 40, Sean? I have 2 on my shelf. I am not going to beat Sean's record, that's for sure!

[Christine]

Has anyone been approved for the next Linwood Barclay book yet? Or denied? My request is 3-4 weeks old.

[[deleted user]]

I didn't request that one Chris, I like him but I have 5 ready to review.

[Janet , Moderator]

I've just seen it, but I've never read any of his. I currently have 12 sitting on my reading shelf. But some of them are old read now ones.

[Janet , Moderator]

I've just been browsing on Netgalley. Rubbernecker by Belinda Bauer is up for request for Canada and States if anyone is interested. Supposed to be her finest. I haven't read it yet but I bought a copy a while ago.

Actually anyone in the UK go for it too, no harm in trying!! I would have if I didn't have it!

[Sean, Moderator]

Yes a good book Janet

[Christine]

I have a print version of Rubbernecker.

[Dana]

I have Rubbernecker but haven't gotten around to reading it. yet.

I also got approved for Evil Games after seeing all the chatter. So very kind of publisher and Angela Marsons.
