Vice versa with me, Sean, but I also catch the wrath of St.Martin’s unless they send me a widget! Go figure.

St. Martin's turns me down when I send a request, but they send me books anyway directly from the publicist with a NetGalley Widget.

I really think it's a hit or miss with them. I don't request from them anymore b/c I also get widgets from them more than when I request them.

I get approved by St. Martin's Press, but never by Berkley. I have never gotten a NetGalley Widget. How long after you started on NetGalley did it take to start getting Widgets? I only started at the end of June and only have completed 34 reviews on NG.

A couple of years for me, Pam.
I just got approved for another favorite author's new book: A Longer Fall by Charlaine Harris.
and approved for The Witchkin Murders by Diana Pharaoh Francis.
. This last one is a "new to me" author.
Excited - just approved for Jonathan Kellerman's newest Alex Delaware (The Museum of Desire). I've got a stack with publication dates earlier than Feb. 4 waiting to be read, but this one will get jettisoned to the top of the pile anyway. Long been a favorite series.

I've been on NetGalley for a few years. But last year I started to receive the widget. This year I'm getting 2-3 a month from St. Martin's, Harlequin, PenguinRandomhouse, and Barbour

Congratulations. I just signed up as well, and was able to get a couple downloads. Life is good!

I got three approvals this morning:The Crossing by Matt Brolly -
You Had Me at Wolf by Terry Spear -

Felt like trying something a little more humorous, this looked like it might be just what I wanted.Approved for; Cold But Not Forgotten
Christine wrote: "What’s NetGalley Books?"NetGalley is a website that offers free ebook copies of books. ARCs (Advance Reading Copies) are available for request with the understanding that if you are approved you will leave an honest review (good or bad, just honest).
Take a look and sign up if it appeals to you. No scams, no tricks, all completely legitimate. But, a word of advice, if you sign up and request start out slow... Sometimes it takes a few days or even a week or more to get an answer. A lot of times you get excited and request a whole bunch thinking you won't get approved and have to catch up with all the books you get.

I just finished Hill Women...sort of a Hillbilly Elegy meets Educated. I've requested four more for classroom use... waiting on my approval.

This one looks great! It is publishing in Feb though and I have too many others in Feb. I am not adding that publish soon because my goal is not to get behind in the publishing dates this year.
Using great self control!!!
