When I do that, I do the goodreads review with "review to follow closer to publication" plus my star rating. Then when you post the full review on NetGalley, you can give the goodreads link already and when publication arrives, you can post it and it'll be there on NG as well. I used to mark the date in my diary so I wouldn't forget to post it on GR.

Make sure you do your review on Word or similar so it'll be saved for your later use :)

Here is a good one from Netgalley that is being archived in March 1st.

I find usually the Aussie publishers always grant me their books, they must look and see I'm Australian, I guess. I'm fine with that of course! Overall we still have superior writers.

Also huge thanks to everyone who replied. I’m feeling more comfortable with the process now.

There’s no rule book! :P"

I have found it very useful for working out what to do.

Thanks Phrynne - I'm going to check that link out!

Excellent - I’ll check the link too 😁 Thanks.

Lee, did you read The Best Kind of Beautiful by Frances Whiting through NG? I enjoyed that, and I would imagine you’re correct about wanting some Aussies for the AUS books. Makes sense.

I've got it there to read. Was thinking of either it or Lovestruck next. I always loved Frances's newspaper columns.

I will have to look up Lovestruck. I put my name down for the Whiting book because my Mum was always enjoying her columns. I think she did well with that novel. I hope you enjoy it, too 🙂

I absolutely loved The Best Kind of Beautiful. From memory it was one of my favourites from last year

I got an email today from Macmillan about an upcoming release, The Yellow Bird Sings by Jennifer Rosner. It's available to request on netgalley here:

It's not my kind of thing at all because it's a war story but I suspect there's a few here that might be interested. :)

Just an Ordinary Family by AWW Fiona Lowe from Harlequin Au is still available on Netgalley (pub 24 Feb). I just requested and received a copy today.

Good read Carolyn :)

Still waiting for Angela Marsons book #12 to come to Netgalley? It has been released this week for pre-release order, so I thought it would be on NG by now.

Killing Mind by Angela Marsons

Her last couple of books from Bookouture only went on NG a few weeks before publication. I think this one is out mid May so it may be late March or even April before it's on NG. We'll just have to keep checking!

The last one on NG I missed as it didn't have a cover :( Now I've learned my lesson to look at books without covers as well!

I'm still looking for Lisa Regan's latest which is #8 - hopefully soon :) Find Her Alive

First in a new series and about a bookshop. Cosy mystery - For Whom the Book Tolls by Laura Gail Black READ NOW Crooked Lane Books. Not released until August :)

You all have probably read Beyond Fear by Jaye Ford but it's Read Now atm for anyone who hasn't

Brenda wrote: "The last one on NG I missed as it didn't have a cover :( Now I've learned my lesson to look at books without covers as well! ..."

I downloaded one this week that has a different title to the one on Netgalley (and isn't in GR). Very tricky when you're looking for it on the kindle!

Marianne wrote: "You all have probably read Beyond Fear by Jaye Ford but it's Read Now atm for anyone who hasn't"

Thanks Marianne. It's on there now as she's in the process of releasing it in the UK, US and Germany. She's one excited author!! I hope it does really well over there for her.

Oh that's awkward. Did you do it with the ISBN from NG? Does it need an alternate cover edition created?

Hope it does well for her. I was very excited to see it on Netgalley thinking it was a new one, alas it’s one I’ve read🙁
Well worth a read for anyone who likes Sarah Barrie

That was Jaye's first ever release as well :)

I did remember your tip of trying the ISBN but it didn't come up. I'm wondering if it's an older title on the ARC that they forgot to update to the NG title (definitely better!). Will wait and see what's happening closer to publication!

Thanks Carolyn, for some reason I thought it was being released in March. I see Amazon has the kindle version for pre-order atm at only $5.99 as all her others also.

I figured that. I have a hard copy here so that will prompt me to read it.

For Rachel Joyce fans, Miss Benson's Beetle
and anyone reading Alan Parks's Harry McCoy series Bobby March Will Live Forever
are both available for request

Amazon is saying May 13 for the kindle version. Could be earlier for Bookouture.

Can you give me the ISBN so I can check it out please Carolyn? Thanks :)

The start of a new series by Susan Wilkins - Damage Done (Detective Megan Thomas) is available on Bookouture for request

Grown-Ups by Marian Keyes is Read Now on Netgalley.

That sounds quite good Brenda, although I am trying not to start any new series or ask for any more books from Netgalley!

Brenda wrote:

Thanks Brenda. The book is The Sin Eater by Megan Campisi from Pan Macmillan Au, ISBN 9781529019100.

The title of the file that downloaded is 'Amy and Olivia' but the details inside say it's The Sin Eater with the same ISBN so I think I have been sent the correct file.

Perhaps it was just a working or early title and wasn't updated as it's not on ŷ������. Not a problem really as I now know to look for 'Amy and Olivia' when I want to read it.

I thought the same thing - but downloaded it anyway!!

I'd say you're probably right - they do that to confuse us I'm sure!! lol Have added the one with your ISBN to the data base as it wasn't there. The Sin Eater by Megan Campisi

A couple of weeks/months ago I would have been jumping up and down in excitement with this news.
Recently though, I had the audiobook via the library and just couldn’t get into it....my first unread Marian Keyes 🙁 and not even sure I can be bothered to try reading it. Maybe it’s that huge page number that puts me off now days!

I didn't check that - it is a bit too long for that type of book!

Seems to be a sprinkling of 2 and 3 stars amongst the 4s and 5s so it may be one of those books that doesn't suit everyone. Oh well - I down loaded it so I'll let you know what I think!

Agreed - too long for me. Maybe that’s why it’s Read Now? Can’t get enough reviewers to take the plunge.

It was my first by Marian Keyes. I enjoyed it but I did have a hard copy which makes it easier...
