NetGalley Addicts Support Group discussion

Hello all! Just joined the group and I'm relieved to find there's NG addicts out there like me! I've not requested for over 3 weeks as I'm trying to hit that coveted 80% ratio. Not far off now! 😀
Anyway, I'm currently reading and its the the most bookish book I've ever read! It's right up my street, even the main protagonist seems so much like me! Scary!!

Hope you enjoy all of our conversations, Lisa - be sure to post links to your reviews here so we can see what looks good!

I started but it's been a harder read. The story isn't bad so I'm optimistic 😊

I am reading . It's very good, I can't put it down!

Thanks Patty, will do 😀

Heres a couple of my recent favourites that I highly recommend!

Hope thats clear enough for the app users! I think the GR app is pretty rubbish tbh, I tend to use the full site on my Kindle Fire.

I'd like it if people could put the title of the book as well as the bookcover because I can't see which book it is in the app. Don't get me wrong - I love seeing the covers! But if I can't read the title, I probably won't take the time to click on the link just to see what book it is - so I'm probably missing some good stuff. (My loss, I guess.) The title doesn't need to be linked if the cover is, though.

Lisa, my previous comment about book titles was not directed at your post! I think we must have posted at almost the same time. Glad to see you reviewed your books - I'll go have a look now. The titles on yours are luckily just big enough to read on the covers. :)

I'm almost 50% into The Stolen Girls and definitely liking it so far...

I am reading too and liking it also.

While I don't agree that Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine, I certainly enjoyed watching her awkward attempts to accept and be accepted.

One for fans of Charles Dickens. I reckon he'd have been an activist blogger if he'd been around today. My review of Select Short Fiction

Aussie Catherine McKinnon's new book, Storyland is an inventive fictional history of the Illawarra coast of NSW in linked short stories from the 1700s to far in the future, very far - the 2700s!

Just finished , Little Fires Everywhere, a 5 star read for me, haven't written the review yet, grab it if you can!

I think a lot of people will love Ache by Aussie author Eliza Henry-Jones.

Sadly, I'm not one of them. My review:
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Reading Artificial Sweethearts. Although I'm enjoying it, I think the first in the series was much more engaging. But I'm still barely in the second quarter, so this might change.

I am currently reading ,very fast paced and action packed

I'm reading Reading with Patrick: A Teacher, a Student, and a Life-Changing Friendship

Reading The Way It Hurts, and I've yet to understand this title. It's quite upbeat, even funny at times. Let's see if it'll earn that 4th star.

Megan Miranda's The Perfect Stranger was a very satisfying read!

My Review https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Ginny Moon is an adopted, autistic teenager - a real handful who can't explain what she wants to her frustrated (nervous!) Forever Family. Benjamin Ludwig has given a unique voice to the voiceless in this terrific book.

4.5★ - My review

#WeNeedDiverseBooks Tania Duprey Stehlik's picture book, Violet, has brightly and inventively illustrated kids, by artist Vanja Vuleta Jovanovic.

I shared several illustrations - great addition to libraries! 4★
My review

The pen is mightier than the sword plus a picture's worth a thousand words equals Amnesty's letter-writing campaigns plus this picture book for all ages, Letters to a Prisoner by Amnesty supporter Jacques Goldstyn.

Wonderful illustrations (I shared a couple) and visual story. 5★
Due out in September, so pre-order for schools and groups!

I'm reading Forever More: A Love Story from the Edge of Eternity by Michele DeLuca, NetGalley book. Pretty good so far--25% into it. Anybody else read/reading this one??
