I can't believe I got this one too! I've missed my boyfriend, Joe Pike.

Jacob M. Appel is one of my very favorite authors Christine. He writes excellent short stories, and this will be the second novel of his that I have read. Besides that, he is a very interesting person. His list of accomplishments is amazing. He is definitely on my 'if you could invite anyone to a dinner party ' list. 😉

That's a great endorsement, Sandy. You you got to meet him?

Maureen Carden | 363 comments Good-bye fair world! I am going to hole up with The Lullaby Girl for the next several hours. My mojo for reading nothing but the authors books since I put in for it has evidently worked. Of course, it helped that they were all on Kindle Free.

How does autoapprove work? Something they bestow or something you request?

Really enjoyed the first in the series so looking forward to this one.


message 3677: by Paul (new)

Paul Sveen | 11 comments If you’re looking for a scary Halloween read, consider my first novel “The Angel’s Claw,” I’d really appreciate your comments on my first book if you have the time. I’ve always thought it was about the fight between Heaven and Hell and karma being the middle ground. I realize now, it’s more about choosing the sacred within us, even after the worst things you can imagine happening to us.

(I've been visiting MIL out of town) Not yet, but the last time I have looked the only reviews I have seen are still from librarians. Plus, I don't think I've seen anyone here saying they have received it, so I haven't gone into mourning yet.


message 3681: by Christine (new)

Christine (clt04) | 4838 comments Maureen, how do you know librarian reviews. Are those those reviews with star ratings only (no actual reviews) and usually a generic (faceless) avatar? That you see before a book even hits Net Galley? I always wondered who those people are.

I think the ones I was referring to, they all self-identified as acquisition librarians on the NetGalley review pages.
As to your description- could very well be, I never thought about that. Makes good sense.

Maureen Carden | 363 comments OMG OMG OMG I got it!!!!!!!!!!!!
This Fallen Prey (Casey Duncan, #3) by Kelley Armstrong
I just need to post a "Closed" sign on my life. Too bad my house is filled with men putting down hardwood floors, because hammering and cutting are veddy loud.
I sound like a fifteen year girl old trying to get tickets to a concert, but I might be insulting fifteen year old girls.

Squee and Squeel !

message 3691: by Maureen (new)

Maureen Carden | 363 comments Thank you Diane and Christine! I appreciate the support. I don't mean to be so whiny. But there are certain authors I adore and I always want their books.

I was turned down for Dead Girl Running by Christina Dodd, which surprised the hell out of me considering how much exposure Ms Dodd gave me on FB and in her newsletter. Turns out she has a new publisher, who was aware of my review, but didn't connect it with my name. She's trying to get it fixed so that I get an ARC.

The Hanged Man (The Bone Field #2) by Simon Kernick

Favourite author along with Angela Marsons, which book to read next...... So Hard

MissSusie | 7 comments So happy I was just approved for Look for Me by Lisa Gardner....Very impatiently awaiting approval for Paper Ghosts by Julia Heaberlin


message 3694: by Maureen (last edited Oct 22, 2017 04:09PM) (new)

Maureen Carden | 363 comments Dead Girl Running by Christina Dodd Okay, the pubs. changed their minds and I got Dead Girl Running by Christina Dodd. Even though she is known for her romantic suspense, she really stepped up her game with the Virtue Falls series and went more to suspense with some romance.
Dead Girl Running is the start of a new series. So far I am liking it very much. So I recommend for request even though the publishers seem to be a little hard-ass about their requirements.
They placed this book in mystery rather than romance because one of the reviewers suggested they needed to do so and so Dodd ran a poll.

Bookworm | 13 comments I've just been approved to read Barbara Copperthwaite's latest Her Last Secret. Really enjoyed The Darkest Lies so looking forward to this one!!
