Chris | 267 comments Christine wrote: "Congrats, Adrian! How many NG books are you carrying now?"

Mind if I ask how many you have hanging around on your shelf. Before you ask me I am down to 4 with this being the last book I was approved for The Whispering Room (Jane Hawk, #2) by Dean Koontz . To be honest I don't even know if I have any pending because I have been staying away from NG unless a author I really like has something up or everyone is raving about a book. I stopped hitting green button because I liked the description of the book.

Christine (clt04) | 4838 comments I am currently reading my last one. Waiting for the new Sherratt/Bryndza/Marsons books to come out. Valiantly trying to stay away otherwise so as to get to other books on my forever list. I think 4 and 6 are awesome very manageable numbers!!

Jan | 258 comments With the new addition of All The Wicked Girls, that puts me at 6. I'm actually reading a library book for the first time in long while 🤗

message 3523: by Chris (new)

Chris | 267 comments I am seeing so many good books that I normally would read. So I am debating on whether to go the NG and see what they have to offer and maybe just maybe hit that green button.

My wish was granted several times.

Chris | 267 comments Christine count them 2, 2 books left on my shelf to read. I never thought it would happen. Now since my shelf is nearly empty I will be very careful what I read.

Wow, Chris, great effort in getting it "read off!" Most impressive effort! What was your highest count?

It was a constant 22 for a long time. I would read a couple do the reviews take off and more would arrive. I will never get to the 800 or so books I still have to read. I never was as bad as Sean lol.

message 3539: by Susanne (last edited Aug 29, 2017 01:25PM) (new)

Susanne Approved for The Chalk Man on NG and The Deep Dark Descending on EW. So excited!


message 3540: by Lynn Renee (new)

Lynn Renee | 1706 comments I've got 16 NG books left on my shelf to read and review. I'm getting there 📚. I'm not going to request anything else until I have my shelf down to zero. It is hard when I read about the books everyone has been approved for. But I'm sticking to my guns.


message 3541: by Christine (new)

Christine (clt04) | 4838 comments Good for you, Lynn. I just hit zero and feel FREE!!!


message 3542: by Maureen (new)

Maureen Carden | 363 comments Diane S ☔ wrote: "Approved for Darkness at the Edge of Town Darkness at the Edge of Town (Iris Ballard #2) by Jennifer Harlow" I just requested this one. I guess I better read the first one just in case I am approved for this one.

That is exactly what I did and how I felt. I have 1 left on my shelf (Dean Koontz) then I be free like Christine. I am really bummed that I didn't get approved for Harlan Coben book.


message 3544: by Maureen (new)

Maureen Carden | 363 comments I have a half way written review and a half way read book hanging over my head, Neither typical of my behavior.
The problem with the review is that it took the author twenty years to research and write this book. I am intimidated by that fact.


message 3545: by Diane S ☔ (new)

Diane S ☔ | 2077 comments I have tons to read, but doesn't stress me out. They are only books after all, if I don't get to them, then I don't. I do my best, though.


message 3546: by Christine (new)

Christine (clt04) | 4838 comments I guess my thing is that there are so many superb books that I can't wait to read, especially series books, that I have not been able to get to because of my obligation reads. Like Cork o'Connor and Michael Connolly books. And #2 books from a bunch of series I have discovered. I LOVE Net Galley and R4R books as they often lead to "lasting relationships" with new authors (e.g. HN Wake, LE Fraser, Michael Wood, Robert Bryndza), but man, I want some time to pursue my loves, both new and old!


message 3547: by Diane S ☔ (new)

Diane S ☔ | 2077 comments I do understand that viewpoint, Christine. I have made a concerted effort to fit more of the books I own into my reading plans, as well as more non fiction. I have been somewhat successful, but will keep plugging away, eventually I'll get there, maybe. Lol


message 3548: by Tracy (new)

Tracy Quarrell | 369 comments The new Robert Bryndza is out for request. Cold Blood. Have put in my request, love this series. I remember what Janet told me about reviews, publishers are always looking to promote their books so read, enjoy and review when you can. Everything has its own time and then again and again.


message 3549: by Christine (new)

Christine (clt04) | 4838 comments I appreciate that, Diane!
