Why do I do this to myself? 🤣
So, if you've been here for a while, you know I go on Netgalley sprees. I'll request a bunch of books, expecting to get rejected for 90% of them. And then I get the shock of my life when I'm approved for thirteen out of the fifteen I request.
Anyway, I've learned my lesson. I've always kept track, but now, before I request a new book, I make sure I have nothing else due around that time. So far, it's been working out well. I have five or six open Netgalley requests with several weeks between each publication date. No sweat, right?
Well, then the owner of the review site I work for posted a bunch of print books for request. I found a couple that sounded good and requested them. The publisher of one responded and said, "Hey, you think she'd want another?" Me, always on board for free books said, sure. Send it on. They both arrived last night. I have one more coming.
I'm adding them to my calendar today and realized I did not look at publication dates and now May and June are stuffed. *facepalm*
It'll be okay, I tend to get through at lesat one book a week, but dangit, I should have paid more attention. This is what I get for getting excited. Hahaha.
However, I am now very excited for one of the ones I received last night. It has a rec from Michael Connelly! So, let's hope it doesn't disappoint!
