I haven’t read any of her stuff before. I also have a request pending with the same publisher for a book I really want to read so I though I would be prudent and accept the offer. 😁

Very good so far.

I have been really good not hitting that green button this year, but I do have two on my shelf--The Retreat and Patricia Gibney's new one. Glad to hear you are digging The Retreat, Sean!

I was also offered Ruth Ware's latest, The Death Of Mrs Westaway, which I've just downloaded. Hope it's good!
I just had Jo Nesbo's 'Macbeth' approved. Very happy. I've never been approved for his books in the past.

I was approved for Ruth Ware's book today!
I also got a widget for
and was approved for
and
.I'm trying (not very successfully!) to keep a lid on NG requests as I have 11 due for publication this month which doesn't give me much time to read anything else. Mick Herron is partly to blame as I got all four of his 'read now' Slow Horses series which is just so good!

Hello, Everyone! I am new to this group and thrilled to see all the amazing titles you are reading! I am also new to Netgalley and I sure am hoping to get approved for some of my requests. Can you tell me if publishers approve (or deny) periodically throughout the month, or does it all happen at once at the beginning of each month?I am excited to have discovered your group!

Been waiting for this one to appear for a long time!

Requested and accepted, thanks for the heads up Adrian!!
Christine I’m just finishing a book and then going to start it next. I have 10 other titles on my shelf but I’m going straight to this one next.

. Super excited. Like everyone else, I'm shoving aside other books to start this next.

Some publishers will give me a heads up or down in just a few days. Others never respond and I'm left dangling forever. Each also has its own criteria. I don't have a blog so I will never be approved by some publishers. Others are quite so picky. I've noticed the more reviews I do, the higher my approval rate. So make sure to keep your ratio above 80% (which is much easier to do as you go along). Welcome to the group!
Liz, are you autoapproved by Bookouture? What an achievement! Congrats!!
Christine wrote: "Liz, are you autoapproved by Bookouture? What an achievement! Congrats!!"Yes, of all the publishers, Bookouture, St. Martin’s and Random House are my favorites. Would love to get approved for the other two. But I can’t complain as they are both very generous with approvals.

That is so great, Liz! I would have thought nonbloggers would have no chance of being autoapproved for a publisher like Bookouture. Heartening to know.
Janet wrote: "I only noticed my NetGalley badges recently. Are you all Top reviewers too? I'm guessing most of you are."Yep, got that badge, Janet. So would I like Liz Nugent? I have read nothing of hers.

I read Lying In Wait by Liz Nugent Christine and loved it. I’ve just requested her new one. Fingers crossed.

One thing I've noticed is that I've really quite enjoyed reading a series in quick succession. You can really get into the mindset and the feel of the books. Don't you think, folks?

Just approved for
Lonelyheart 4122, the 4th book in the Flaxborough mystery series by the late Colin Watson, British police procedurals from the 1960s. The publisher is bringing back these mysteries and offering them on NG. I've read and enjoyed the first 3 so I'm really happy to be approved for number 4!

That was my feeling as I blazed through the Huntress Moon series, Janet. I don't generally do that though as I usually like to change things up frequently and skip around, keeping things fresh. Also, the five Huntress Moon books were basically a continuing story taking place over only 5 months. I was afraid if I didn't read them all close together, I would forget important nuances and lose my train of thought. Oh, and those books happened to be highly addictive!

Christine wrote: "Me too! Thanks, Adrian!"Looks like you, Jan and Adrian are on cue with this one. Sounds like you are going to have a good read. Hey, girls.

Let me know how the MacBride book goes, Cam. I recently read Cold Granite and loved it. My first MacBride book.
