woohoo! about time. Now my list will really explode. lol
Wow! Audio books would be cool!I finished
. I haven't read a lot of J.T. Ellison but I loved this. It had a young adult vibe and some girl drama.
I finished a second one this month. It was
. It was a biography and history in comic/graphic novel (Are those things the same or different?) form. In between the graphic chapters was a page or so of paragraph writing, giving more information. Each chapter was drawn by a different artist so there were many different styles of art. It was very interesting and the format was one I have not read a lot of. I recommend this one.

December 2019 NetGalley Challenge:I read almost none of these during TT so I am not doing great. Goal is to get rid of the over 3 month old ones in January. I have 14, 8 of which are over 3 months. Most of those I need library copies now.

reviewSo that means I have added 4, and read 2 this month :)
I just added two and I am excited about both!
and
Yay for me!
Yay, Vicki! I’m back to trying not to add any for a while again. Adding them is so much fun though!
I finished The Vanishing Season during TT and finally remembered to go back and review it.
Vanishing Season review
I also gave some feedback regarding The Wisdom of Sally Red Shoes. I tried a few times to read this book, but couldn't engage with it. Right now is not the right timing for me to try again with this type of story, so I apologized, but I will not be reviewing this book now. Maybe I'll try again in the future and edit my review, but I'm not sure.
Sally Red Shoes review
Boooo I just got approved for 8 books! I need to stop requesting!!
Kirby wrote: "Boooo I just got approved for 8 books! I need to stop requesting!!"Boo??!! Yay!
I don't think I am going to finish any more books this decade.
I'm still hoping to finish one or maybe even two more before the end of the month. I'm finally catching up my backlog of already published books.

I mean, yea, but also super overwhelming.

Yea, I can understand that. Eight is a lot to get at once. I hope they are all excellent reads for you.

Feed Your Readers, the NetGalley Challenge
Duration: Monthly
How to Participate:
The NetGalley Challenge is designed to not only get you to read your NetGalley books, but to also advertise your reviews for others to see because after all, that's what NetGalley is all about.
Though you may pop in/out at any time, the NetGalley Challenge will run on a monthly basis so you are able to see progress being made.
1. At the beginning of the month, post any/all of the following:
a: How many books on your NetGalley shelf
b: What books are on your NG shelf
c: What your Netgalley feedback ratio is
2. During the month, read the NetGalley books that you can AND update your post with your reviews. (You can do this after each book or wait until the end of the month.)
3. At the end of the month, update your post and with:
a: What books you read
b: Link(s) to your review(s)**
c: Your updated shelf count
d: Your updated books to read
e: Your updated ratio
Then start a new post for the next month!
Do you ever get so caught up in your reading that you don't want to stop to write your reviews?
Thinking about that, it was decided we need a "Review Weekend", once each month, set aside to write those reviews you've been not doing in favor of reading!
Review Weekends will vary randomly each month and is meant to be a time set aside to review. Take one, or both days and get caught up on reviews so you can spend the rest of the month reading!!
The next Review Weekend is set for December 14/15
**When linking your reviews, please link only to the book(s) here at GoodReads. At this time, linking to a personal blog is not allowed. Thank you!
