NetGalleyGroup

so-so

Great fall vibes and a fun setting, but I wanted a little more depth to the story. For me, it relied a bit too much on steam and not enough character development. I did like the setting and the friends that are family. This is been out for nearly a month and if you are looking for a pumpkin flavored, writer meets billionaire insta-love romance, this may be the one for you. 3rd #ARC down! #NGGReadathon #netgalleygroup @AllDebooks

Bookwormjillk I started a good one last night. It‘s about women and community and small farms.

Reaping What She Sows: How Women Are Rebuilding Our Broken Food System

Librarybelle I‘ve yet to start a title for this weekend, but to respond to other questions: I read a mix of new and established authors. If it‘s an author I like, and I‘m invited to pre-approved to read the title, I grab it. If it‘s a new author but the story sounds good, and perhaps it has a good blurb featuring another author liking the book, I‘ll try it. Kind of like bookstore shopping too! 3d

Deblovestoread Hey Deb! You can remove me from the tag list. Everything is a bit overwhelming right now so I‘m taking a break from challenges etc. Thank you! 3d

Bookish_Thoughts Recommend-Murder in Miniature. It‘s the second book in the series, but you don‘t need to read the first to enjoy the second. Carlene O‘Connor Irish Village mysteries, Kate Khavari‘s Saffron Everleigh historical mysteries, Jacqueline Frost‘s Christmas Tree Farm mysteries, Amanda Flower‘s Amish Candy Shop series, Colleen Cambridge‘s Phyllida Bright series (Phyllida is Agatha Christie‘s housekeeper with her own secrets to keep). (edited) 3d

Bookish_Thoughts As the ARC recs shows, I read mysteries. 🤣 I also read new and established authors and have discovered new favorites that way. Back to the recommend list-I‘ve read most, if not all, of the ARCs for the listed series, and then bought/pre-order the physical books. 3d

DGRachel When it comes to any book, ARC or already published - new or established author, I‘ll read it when pre approved if it sounds good. I don‘t request books because I (silly me) rejections feel personal and I‘d rather wait for publication than be told no. 😅 As for genre - I tend to specialize in spurts, but my fallback/old standby is mystery/thrillers. I just finished the tagged, and I will read anything Morgyn writes. It was phenomenal.

Only Spell Deep

JoyBlue One of my favorite ARCs ever was The Collected Regrets of Clover [2023], which was a fiction debut.

My favorite genre is mystery.

I request a mix of established and new authors. It has paid off handsomely! I have picked up quite a few new or new-to-me authors by being adventurous in my requests, including things I never would have tried on my own!

[This weekend, I finished A Mannequin for Christmas ARC and started The Killing Stones ARC.] 3d

Justmissc87 I am currently reading Ladies in Hating ARC and am really enjoying it. 3d

The Honeycrisp Orchard Inn: A Novel | Valerie Bowman

pick

This cozy romance feels like a Hallmark movie, a warm sweater, and a pumpkin spiced latte all rolled into one. It gave me all the fall feels even though it is 91 degrees here in TX. I really enjoyed it and recommend you give it a try and cuddle into this warm hug of a book. Released on Sept 8, thanks to #netgalley for the #ARC #netgalleygroup #NGGReadathon @AllDebooks

AllDebooks Cute 😍 🍂🎃 3d

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. 5d

rubyslippersreads Like the rest of you, I need to catch up on reviews. 5d

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. 5d

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. 🤔 5d

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 😝 5d

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? 5d

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. 5d

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 ! 5d

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. 5d

sebrittainclark @AllDebooks I've written reviews over a year after the book published 🙈. I figure better late than never. 5d

Bookish_Thoughts I‘m going to try read both an upcoming ARC and a past pub date ARC. 5d

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. 😅 5d

mcipher @AllDebooks I do, and I post them to Amazon/b&n because I‘m assuming it still helps the author some 🤷‍♀️ 5d

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. 5d

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. 4d

rubyslippersreads @AllDebooks I work backwards and write a review for the most-recently read books. That‘s about the best I can do. 😏 4d

AllDebooks @rubyslippersreads that makes sense. It's a good tip. Thanks. 🙂 4d

AllDebooks @Zuhkeeyah oh well done! 🙂 4d

AllDebooks @Bookish_Thoughts good luck. Enjoy. 📚🙂📚 4d

AllDebooks @Librarybelle I hope it's a productive weekend. 🙂 4d

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. 4d

The Power of Protest in Healthcare: Lessons From a Doctor�s Journey to Activism | Meenal Viz

pick

#NetGalleyGroup #NGGreadathon #ARC

Dr Meenal Viz writes compassionately about the failure of the government to provide adequate PPE resources during the Covid19 pandemic. Her frustration at the unnecessary risks her colleagues, her husband, and her 6 month pregnant self were forced to take to give patients the care they needed is palpable throughout the book.
⬇️Cont.⬇️

AllDebooks Her solitary protest outside No 10 Downing Street is laudable and triggered change.
