Netgalley Book Tag

I recently found the Netgalley Book tag. Do I care that it’s from 2016? Absolutely not! Some book tags are timeless. Anyway, this was started by Kourtni Reads and I found it over at Booked J. It sounded like a lot of fun so I’m doing it!

The Rules:

• Link back to the tag’s creator (Kourtni Reads)
• Thank and link back to the person who tagged you
• Answer the questions the best you can. If you don’t use NetGalley, you can substitute other sites or places where you get books!
• Tag a few people to do this too

Auto-Approved: Who’s one author whose books you automatically want to read, regardless of what they’re about?

Marie Lu. I have literally no clue what Skyhunter is about, it doesn’t come out until October 6th, 2020, but I already pre-ordered this book over a month ago. So if I got auto-approved, I’d be really happy. I’m ecstatic that I’m getting an ARC for The Kingdom of Back.

Request: What makes you want to request a book that you see on NetGalley?

There are a lot of things that make me request a book on Netgalley. Is it by an author I love? Does the book sound amazing? Do I need a book coming out around that pub date for my blog? I have more than one place I get ARCs from now, so I have to keep all this in mind because if I request it, I make every effort to review it on time.

Feedback Ratio: Do you review every book you read? If not, how do you decide what books to review?

I review every Netgalley book I request (most of the time before the pub date). I review almost all the backlist books I read. Sometimes I make exceptions for those.

Wish for It: What’s one book that you are absolutely dying to read?

There are several books I’m dying to read, and most of them I’ve either pre-ordered or am planning on pre-ordering. Chain of Gold is one of the books I’m dying to read that I’m sure I won’t be able to read before its release date. But… since I’m reading The Kingdom of Back early and I’m reading The Vanishing Deep on audiobook (all three are March 3rd releases) I’ll start this on its release date!

NetGalley Challenge: What was the last book that you received as an ARC that you reviewed? If you’ve never received an ARC, what’s the last book you reviewed?

I reviewed Of Curses and Kisses on Goodreads, but the author requested I wait until release week to review it on my blog. I reviewed Every Other Weekend on Netgalley, but I’ve been busy working on book edits and haven’t reviewed it here yet. The last book I reviewed on my blog was Reverie? NaNoWriMo happened, which is why I haven’t done many reviews lately. And now I’m trying to get THE BRIGHTNESS OF SHADOW ready for beta readers so I can have it polished for Author Mentor Match…

So that’s the Netgalley Book Tag! Do you want to do it? Tag, you’re it! If you do the tag, I’d love to see what you’re answers are.
