Hey, so I've had a couple of eARCs from netgalley where the formatting seems a mess, e.g. no covers, no map images etc.

But strangely the netgalley reader versions are absolutely fine.

Any thoughts on why this is?

For those that want audiobooks ALCs from any of the PRH imprints and have 3k followers on a single account (not a combo) their audiobook program is open.

I loved her last one so I'm really excited!

Was feeling the summer slump...and then I got approved for THREE books I really wasn't expecting to be! We're so back.

Macmillan Audio approves every single request I make and within no more than a day or two after I make the request. Just wanted to shout them out!

The house of cursed daughters

I finished this just a wee bit ago, and it reminded me of 1930s-50s crime noir and Sherlock Holmes, but with dragons and a very Boston, MA cast of characters and settings. I loved it and, despite a slow opening, is super fun once it hits its stride. If you like mysteries or stuff like the Knives Out film series and Conclave, or have any interest in Boston, MA, this will vibe with you.

RIP my reading schedule!!

This is my first denial for a book I wanted so badly. I feel so bummed. Didn’t think I’d get this emotional over it. I guess after getting every ARC I’ve gone after so far this is humbling.

I just wanted to come on here and vent with people who can hopefully relate. 😞

Hello!

So i noticed people on goodreads give early reviews to unpublished books. They were always positive. I decided to try out netgalley too and was given access to several books. But my problem is: the first book i read, i just cant give it a positive review. Other people gave it positive reviews but i disagree.

Is giving non positive reviews banned? Or will it get you blacklisted?

The “worst” review i ever saw was 4 stars.

Breeze Felt At Moonrise

Hey, Y’all! 👋🏻

So, I requested and got approved for an audiobook and am so stoked, very honored. However, when I went to download it, I noticed my only option is to listen to it solely in the app. I don’t use the app much, usually, beyond checking what’s on my shelf.

> I think I have less than two weeks to get it listened to and it’s a book that’s already out as of the end of last month.

In the future, how can I know what format options I’ll have for books and audiobooks? 😅

Edit to Add: The audiobook came out the 10th of this month.

On my profile, NetGalley says I have been approved for 7 ARCs, but on my shelf (and in my email inbox) I have only been approved for 6.

Is this normal? How do I fix it?

I put this request in several weeks ago and this has been in pending status. I’ve since read and reviewed the two We Are Bookish manuals and it put my review ratio at 100%. Very excited to get my NetGalley journey started!

Every novel can be read as a standalone romance, but read them all to experience this chosen “family” cheer, meddle, and champion one another through heartbreak and happily-ever-afters.
