AllDebooks I'm concentrating on reviews this month. If I have time, I may start the Vivienne Westwood biography.

Vivienne Westwood: Provocateur

sebrittainclark I'm behind on reviews, so I want to catch up. 3d

rubyslippersreads Like the rest of you, I need to catch up on reviews. 3d

ShananigansReads I‘m just behind on reading. The library holds are coming in fast and furious. New releases I‘ve been waiting for are dropping left and right and I haven‘t touched an ARC in way too long. 3d

DGRachel I do my reviews as I finish the books, so like @ShananigansReads I‘m just behind on the actual reading. I started the month with a plan to keep up with new due dates and then decided I was tired of stress-reading. I started an ARC that publishes next March and took a leisurely 11 days to read it. It was glorious and I missed the pub date for 2 more books. My goal for the weekend is to start another ARC. Maybe. 🤔 3d

mcipher I‘m so behind on reviews! Also behind on books (library holds and new shiny books keep distracting me) but I keep letting the reviews stack up because it‘s not as fun as reading 😝 3d

AllDebooks @sebrittainclark @rubyslippersreads @ShananigansReads @DGRachel @mcipher Do you write reviews for post publication books? I've missed the pub. deadline by months on some of my #arcs. It seems polite to still write a review, but is this still of any value to the author/publishers? 3d

DGRachel I write them when I finish even if I‘ve missed the pub date if for no other reason than I don‘t want to my % worse than it already is. Plus. I think reviews are always helpful, even if the publisher doesn‘t go back. I copy my review in NetGalley and The StoryGraph and I review everything I read so it‘s just as easy to post in both places as one. 3d

Julsmarshall I do reviews right after I finish, even if it is late, like @DGRachel . I‘m in the middle of 2 ARCs, one printed, one in netgalley. I‘m going to try to finish both of those and maybe one more. I am going to try to let other things go this weekend and read, read, read. I‘ve been working a lot and haven‘t had a reading weekend in awhile 😍 Thanks for the push, @AllDebooks ! 3d

ShananigansReads @AllDebooks I still write them after party because it‘s the only way I remember anything that happened in the book, partly because I said I would when I signed up. 3d

sebrittainclark @AllDebooks I've written reviews over a year after the book published 🙈. I figure better late than never. 3d

Bookish_Thoughts I‘m going to try read both an upcoming ARC and a past pub date ARC. 3d

AllDebooks @DGRachel @Julsmarshall @shenaniganreads @sebrittainclark thanks for the feedback. I'm going to write reviews for all of my loans. I'll post on amazon, too, to make amends for my tardiness. 😅 3d

mcipher @AllDebooks I do, and I post them to Amazon/b&n because I‘m assuming it still helps the author some 🤷‍♀️ 3d

Librarybelle I like the catching up on reviews idea! I‘ll concentrate on that this weekend as well and maybe finish one of the “in progress” books I have. 3d

Zuhkeeyah I finished two ARCs in the last couple weeks and wrote my reviews on Thursday. I‘m feeling very accomplished so I might not tackle anymore this weekend. 2d

rubyslippersreads @AllDebooks I work backwards and write a review for the most-recently read books. That‘s about the best I can do. 😏 2d

AllDebooks @rubyslippersreads that makes sense. It's a good tip. Thanks. 🙂 2d

AllDebooks @Zuhkeeyah oh well done! 🙂 2d

AllDebooks @Bookish_Thoughts good luck. Enjoy. 📚🙂📚 2d

AllDebooks @Librarybelle I hope it's a productive weekend. 🙂 2d

Justmissc87 I just started on NetGalley this month. I‘ve got some pretty good reads going right now. I‘ve been trying to review as soon as I finish the book. So far I‘ve only finished one book. I‘m trying to pace myself. Plus, I still have a huge fall TBR. 2d

What #ARCs have you read recently that you would recommend? 'Cos our tbr pile always has room for more. 😅📚📚📚📚

Zuhkeeyah I enjoyed the tagged book because it was different second chance romance from others I‘ve read

Anderson in Bloom

1mo

AllDebooks @Zuhkeeyah that looks good. 👌 1mo

AllDebooks One of the best autobiographies I've read in a long time. I especially recommend the audiobook for his narration.

Track Record: Me, Music, and the War on Blackness

rubyslippersreads I enjoyed this by one of my favorite authors,

The Hired Man: A Novel

#NetGalleyGroup #NGG

It's our last day for July's #readathon 📚

How did you do?
Did you meet your goals?
Did the readathon help give you a nudge?

I've enjoyed hosting it. It's certainly helped give me a kickstart back into Netgalley life. I've enjoyed reading your comments and posts.

See you on 15th August for another round of #ARCs 😀

All welcome to join us. Please let me know if you wish to be added/removed from the taglist.

AllDebooks Thank you for joining me. 😀 @Julsmarshall @Cazxxx @TiredLibrarian @bcncookbookclub @sebrittainclark @rubyslippersreads @Librarybelle @Twainy @bnp @TheSpineView @throwmeabook @Larkken 2mo

AllDebooks @Addison_Reads @Bookwormjillk @BookLineNSinker @Deblovestoread @DGRachel @tpixie @Bookish_Thoughts 2mo

DGRachel Umm…I read about 30 pages or so of the ARC I‘d planned to finish. It‘s just not holding my attention and I switched over to a nearly 400 page ebook that returns to the library in 3 days. There‘s always next weekend, right? 😂 2mo

See All 20 Comments

Librarybelle I did complete my #ALC (it‘s published tomorrow, so I‘ll post my review then). I did not start my #ARC , but I think I‘ll have a better plan going into the August reading…more specific goals and such. Thanks for bringing this back! 2mo

AllDebooks @DGRachel Well, 30 pages is better than nothing. I get why you would prioritise the library book. Thank you for joining in. 😀 2mo

AllDebooks @Librarybelle Yay, well done. 👏 I really needed spurring on, and it's always better to have company. 😀 2mo

AllDebooks I've 100 pages left of The Tesla Files. I could not stop reading! I'll start my fiction tonight. Of my 10 reviews, I've completed 5. I just need to post them now. 2mo

sebrittainclark I completed one of the ARCs I was reading, and caught up on the 4 reviews I needed to write. 2mo

Deblovestoread I didn‘t finish but did make progress. 2mo

AllDebooks @sebrittainclark That's great. Well done. 🙌 2mo

AllDebooks @Deblovestoread it all counts. 🙌 2mo

Bookish_Thoughts DNF‘ed one book, finished another, and caught up on reviews, so yay me. 🙂 This was fun! Thanks for hosting. 2mo

PuddleJumper Actually read an eARC today. It was fun but I was reading the Kindle version and it would randomly start a new line mid-word. It was so annoying! Seems to be a common issue when reading NetGalley books on Kindle 2mo

AllDebooks @Bookish_Thoughts that's great. Well done. 👏 2mo

AllDebooks @PuddleJumper I've never tried them on my Kindle as I've heard its problematic. Well done on finishing one. 👏 2mo

tpixie I‘ve failed so far… I‘ll have more time in 2026* to read, though. @AllDebooks (edited) 2mo

AllDebooks @tpixie you haven't failed, you were only considering joining. I can take you off the taglist, if you prefer. 2mo

tpixie @AllDebooks yes, let‘s do that. I may try next year! 2mo

AllDebooks @tpixie 👍 2mo

Librarybelle My favorite #ALC is this one, a top so far for 2025:

The Accidental Favorite: A Novel

2mo

Librarybelle As for an #ARC , this was an enjoyable read, since I‘m about all things The Golden Girls:

Murder by Cheesecake: A Golden Girls Cozy Mystery

2mo

DGRachel My fav ARC read of the year is a Romantasy debut with sirens, so it has a bit of a dark, Hans Christian Andersen Little Mermaid vibe.

In the Veins of the Drowning

2mo

DGRachel @Librarybelle I have Murder by Cheesecake on my shelf to read. It sounds delightful! 2mo

DGRachel @BookmarkTavern I will have to look for that one. It sounds like it has all of my favorite mystery novel elements 😱 2mo

Bookish_Thoughts So far my favorite #ARC is The Buffalo Hunter Hunter by Stephen Graham Jones. I‘ve read a lot of his work, but not all of it. (edited) 2mo

sebrittainclark My favorite I read in the last month was Automatic Noodle by Annalee Newitz, which is a cozy sci-fi novella about robots opening a restaurant. I've had Future of Another Timeline on my TBR for a while, but this was the first time I read one of their books, and I'll definitely read more.

Automatic Noodle

2mo

AllDebooks @Bookish_Thoughts he is very good. I'm looking forward to reading this one. 2mo

AllDebooks @sebrittainclark lol, I love the title, and the plot sounds cute. ❤️ 2mo

AllDebooks @Librarybelle both of those look good. Golden girls cozy mystery is a genius idea. 2mo

AllDebooks @DGRachel that looks so good. 2mo

PuddleJumper I just got approved for the second in the Hollow and the Haunted duology - The Forsaken and the Fated, so would recommend that (😅) and the first in the series

The Hollow and the Haunted
