Hello lovely folks! Summer days are speeding by and August is almost here already!
Though I’ve been reluctant to add to my already lengthy TBR, it is only expected that I had to add a few titles. I am a book hoarder bookworm after all.
During the month of July I added NINE titles to my TBR.
I downloaded 3 titles from Edelweiss in July:
“The betrayals” by Fiona Neill published by Pegasus Books
“The stranger diaries” by Elly Griffiths published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt
“Before she knew him” by Peter Swanson published by William Morrow
I downloaded 4 titles from NetGalley in July:
“In her shadow” by Mark Edwards
(I was pre-approved for this title by Amazon UK Digital)
“The body in the Dales” by J.R. Ellis
(I was pre-approved for this title by Amazon UK Digital)
“The Winter’s child” by Cassandra Parkin
(I was pre-approved for this title by Legend Press)
“The Phantom Tree” by Nicola Cornick
(Graydon House sent me a NetGalley widget for this title)
and directly from the publisher I received one more title…
“Through his eyes” by Emma Dibdin
(sent to me by Head of Zeus)
So…. that’s it! EIGHT more review commitments!
I also purchased one FREE title from Amazon.ca
“Victor Ludorum” by Jennifer Chapman
I’m delighted to report that there are now 2.821 people following this blog!
My Goodreads Challenge is coming along nicely:
My NetGalley feedback ratio is still falling short of the coveted 80%
My Edelweiss feedback ratio is slowly improving…

Great titles coming up Lynne. I just went to Edelweiss and requested The Betrayals after reading the blurb. It looks very intriguing. I have a few of the same ones you received so it will be interesting to see how our ideas match up. Have a great month Lynne.

Hope you have a wonderful reading month as well Carla. ♥ With your warp speed reading, I’m sure you’ll enjoy “The Betrayals” long before I get to it.

Wonderful Skye. I won’t be satisfied until everyone’s TBR is as long as mine.

I have a 100% feedback ratio on Edelweiss after nearly five years and rarely get approved for anything – go figure. Congrats on getting your ratios up!

That is really weird Teri. You’d think with a 100% ratio that you’d be approved for everything you ask for. Does your profile score excellent? If not, perhaps that is the problem…

It does score excellent, so I can’t figure out what the problem is.

Such a long list! I have my eyes on Alexandra Casavant’s The Voiceless Voice. It seems to be a mix of fantasy and reality, emphasizing the words and voices which shape our lives. The short stories sound perfect for people with a tight schedule. I think I will try reading this book as soon as I have some free time!

Before She Knew Him looks really good. I look forward to hearing you thoughts. You are so close to that 80% 🙂 Happy August, Lynne!

Thanks Zoe. I’m just treading water with the NetGalley ratio. I read four of their titles and add four more…. 80% is still so far away…

Hi Lynne. Happy reading!
Have you read Falconer, by John Cheever? That’s the one I’m reading now. It’s a pretty odd book, sort of hallucinatory. I like it.

I have a copy of The Stranger Diaries although my cover is very different to yours! It looks like you have lots of good books to take you into August

Thanks Cleo. I’m always puzzled as to why the publishers choose different covers (and sometimes titles) for the same book in different countries. We readers are not so different are we?????
