I finally got around to reviewing The Last Orphan
. I had both the ebook and audio, so it took two books off my shelf. :) And that brought me up to 97%!! I still hope to read a few more before I request again. We'll see. I'm pretty happy with that ratio, though I'd be even happier if I didn't have so many past publication at the moment. my Last Orphan review

I finished
The Ferryman ahead of the publishing date which is a great feat for me. I don't always understand sci fi and this one was really long. I almost didn't request it because I was worried I would get bogged down and not be able to finish. I actually enjoyed it and gave it 4 stars.
I am hoping to finish 2 others that I have started before the end of the month and stay caught up.
I'm making some real progress with my outstanding list!NetGalley Challenge – April
