asphaltcowgrrlGUYS HELP.
Netgalley is an addiction as well as an impulse. And I might just need an intervention.
Generally, I can resist the urge to request every book that they email me about. But then, there are times when I cannot say no. On the bright side, I'm usually turned down for those impulse clicks. Although my feedback rate is above where they want it (83% currently, but will go up soon as I have one ready to review and one almost finished), often I don't have enough of a blog following to get the big name publishers to take a chance. Which, honestly, is okay. I see too many bloggers with 19 ARCS on their Netgalley shelf and no time to read them. I don't want that.
So, when an email for this book landed in my inbox, I clicked.
I clicked so fast, guys, I think I have push button finger now. And HOLY MOTHER OF COWBOYS HARLEQUIN FREAKING APPROVED IT. Like, almost instantly. I swear, I was expecting to wait four weeks and then get a rejection notice. I'd cry if they put me on auto-approve because SO MANY BOOKS. And despite the bad rep HQN gets sometimes, their MIRA line has some amazing thrillers.
So, what I have pending at the moment:
Like Never and Always by Ann Aguirre - FINISHED waiting for review
A Scandal in Scarlet by Vicki Delany - NEARLY DONE. I love this series so I should finish it in the next couple days
Little Darlings by Melanie Golding - publishes 5/10/19 so I have a minute or two to get this one done.
An Anonymous Girl by Greer Hendricks & Sarah Pekkanen - publishes 1/8/19 so I have time on this, too. It's next up though because it's been on my shelf the longest
Luck of the Draw by B. J. Daniels - this you know about but it doesn't release until 5/21/19 so my impulse click wasn't as bad as it could have been.
So, not too bad considering one is done and the other is close.
Anyway, back to your lives. I couldn't help but scream about this and, since literally no one in my real life cares, you get stuck with it. Now, I need to finish spending all of my boss' money.
