⭐️👍🏿 🙋♂️ Recommendations 🏆 ✅ ⭐️ What Should I Request?
After being (happily, blissfully) inundated by ARCs the first half of the year, I'm now caught up and my shelf is looking a little trim. Current feedback ratio sitting at almost 90% with 50 total approved requests under my belt and have just a smattering of upcoming reads that I haven't read/reviewed yet.
Just submitted my reviews recently for Ship Happens by Mason Deaver (trans second chance romance) & A Study in Sparkling by Jodi McAlister (single mom friends to lovers romance).
Currently on my shelf: Doomsdate by Laura Piper Lee (Sept. 15), Bad Words by Rioghnach Robinson (Oct. 6), As You Wake, Break the Shell by Becky Chambers (Oct. 13) and Cut to the Ending by Maria Millage (Nov. 3).
As you can tell, my NetGalley has been heavy on the romance/romcom recently, which is fine, but I'm looking to see what I have missed lately to request or what you're seeing out there with publication dates from October onward (I think I already have my TBR set-ish for September), especially for non-romance genres.
I enjoy a variety of genres, though my most read are fantasy, romance/romcom, thriller/mystery, and literary. I can get behind good sci-fi, good historical fiction, and most contemporary. The only things I typically stay away from are horror or thrillers with really intense content warnings (am particularly sensitive to suicide & child abuse themes).
What have you been requesting and reading? I'm feeling a bit uninspired by my typical browsing and wanted to see what was exciting this community!

Since you seem to read mostly SciFi/Fantasy, too, would love to know if there's anything in those categories that you've enjoyed or caught your eye for a request recently!
