NetGalley's Got It! *Share Finds Here*

[AH]

Prized was weird. It was like a different book completely, not a continuation. If it was a standalone, I think I would have liked it more.

[Desperado]

You're welcome & thank you! I agree; getting that status for some of those publishers would be a dream. *sigh* Someday.

[Steph, Serious series addict]

I remember you mentioning that, AH. I didn't catch your post until after I'd requested it. ;) Still haven't heard back. It's been ... I don't know, 2 wks maybe. Oh well. Lots of other stuff TBR.

:D Lethal! Someday. Oh yeah, it'd surely be nice indeed.

[Desperado]

Books up for grabs:

(there's an actual cover on NG)

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Thanks, Lethal!

Is anyone reading (or read) Brook's Cat Star Chronicles? I keep seeing those and have come close to buying some several times.

[Desperado]

You're very welcome, Steph!

Even though I own & -Kindle freebies-I haven't read them yet. The reviews on this series are like freaking horror stories.

[Steph, Serious series addict]

LOL! I think I saw Slave as a Kindle freebie a while back. I'll have to ck on it and see if it still is. Might be worth a go if it's free.

[Regina]

I just received auto approval also for Harlequin!

[Literary Ames]

Congrats, Regina!

I did too! So excited!

[D.G.]

I got it too almost a week ago. And I wondered why because I still haven't reviewed any of the books I requested. I really need to get started!

[Regina]

Maybe the person vetting the requests is getting sick of making decisions? Lol.

[Literary Ames]

LOL! I haven't been on NG in a while. How do you find out if you're auto-approved?

[Regina]

I just requested 2 Harlequin titles Yesterday. Today I got an email telling me the Harlequin auto approved me.

[D.G.]

They send you an email. :)

[Literary Ames]

Thanks. :)

[AH]

Hey - last time I looked Ashfall was a read now book on netgalley. It's very good - take a peek if you can.

[Regina]

Thanks!

[Josie]

I find it strange how many of the publishers say that Goodreads "is not quite enough" in spreading the word.

....

Whhhaattt? Over 6 million members and that's not enough? For me, probably 99% of the books I buy come from GR in some way, whether that's reviews from friends, recommendations from GR or from the groups. Come to think about it, one in particular is pretty unforgiving to the TBR stack... ;)

[AH]

Josie, keep trying for books. I used to only post reviews on GR and I got a lot of books. Maybe update your profile with how many books you read a year? I also chose a lot of Read Now books so I had a bunch of reviews on Net galley before I asked a lot of publishers. We all get rejected, don't worry about it.

[Tracey]

I want to say thank you for this thread - I've been enjoying Netgalley proofs for a couple of months now because I learned about the site here. I've found some great stuff! (And some awful stuff, but - some great stuff!) The one waiting on my laptop that I'm really looking forward to now - I think; I hope! - is Dearly Departed.

I just have to be careful not to request too many books the spirit is willing, but there's only so much time in a week!

[Josie]

Thanks for the support AH but don't worry, it wasn't a personal experience lol! I just thought it was odd.
I found the information after looking at what the publishers wanted since I did wonder if you had to have a blog to qualify although I probably wouldn't sign up anyway - I seem to have more books than I can handle and more importantly, I'm not so hot at writing reviews. Maybe one day I'll sign up as you were successful even before your blog :)

[AH]

It's the Read Now books - auto approved!

[Regina]

Ashfall? I just grabbed it!

[AH]

It's so good. Enjoy it. And then take some Taekwondo lessons and buy lots of vitamin C tablets.

[Regina]

I'm already set with vit c. I'll have to look around for classes next. :)

[D.G.]

I just had to get Ashfall!

Man, next month my priority will be to finish all these reviews.

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Yay, Regina, Sandra & DG! :D

LOL! I'll have to look for that book.

[Regina]

Thank you for the recommendation for Ashfall. I am really liking it!

[AH]

Isn't it great? It doesn't really feel like a YA book.

[Regina]

It doesn't. I also love the premise.

[Steph, Serious series addict]

I've got that one on my wishlist. :)

Also, if anyone spots Gena Showalter's (due in Jun 2012) out there in NGland, could ya let me know? I want, I want. :D

[Regina]

Definitely! I will keep my eye out for it.

[Steph, Serious series addict]

:D

[Desperado]

Ooh! Look-ey what I found on NG!

WOW I am not looking until I finish my current reviews!

That is really awesome I got rejected from them twice so I gave up :-(

[D.G.]

I haven't finished all my reviews but I'll see if I can get my hands on the Ione book.

[Steph, Serious series addict]

I'd like to grab the Lords book too. Gotta catch up on my other reads though. Boo hiss

[Regina]

Oh my goodness!!!! Netgalley now has !!!!!!!

[AH]

Thanks, Regina. Just requested it. Now I need to read the second book really fast.

[Regina]

I will look for your review. :) I loved it, but I am a hardcore Aftertime fan. The beginning is slower, but I think it is important to set up the characters.

[AH]

I have a whole bunch of reviews to do. Long weekend so I'll be reviewing away.

[Mariya]

I can't believe I missed that Immortal Rider has been on Netgalley. UGH. Comes out tomorrow so whatever.

[Regina]

Yeah -- it has been there awhile!

[Regina]

I just saw that this YA book is now on netgalley:

I am auto-approved with Harlequin! I never received an email but I requested 2 books just now and they were immediately approved. Whoohoo!

I grabbed and requested a good few others. If I'm approved for all I'm screwed. I might have to ban myself from my laptop until 2012.

[Sandra]

I loved Touch of Power, highly recommended!

[D.G.]

I really liked Touch of Power too.

[Literary Ames]

I third that. I really enjoyed it.
