Week 9 #WeeklyForecast
Finish up my 4 books in progress and knock out a few more #NetGalley #ARCs
My #BookishResolution2020 BE MORE CONSCIENTIOUS with my requests😜
Happy Holidays friends 💟☮️
BarbaraBB I don‘t know much about NetGalley but do you want to read all those ARCs or do you have to? 4y
Cinfhen Publisher‘s provide complimentary Advanced Readers Copies (ARCs) of books in exchange for unbiased reviews @BarbaraBB so it‘s in good faith to read a book that you‘ve been granted access too. But sometimes a cover or blurb catches my eye but the book doesn‘t hold my attention and then I feel trapped. Sometimes publisher‘s send you books without a request in hopes of spreading excitement or to gain exposure. It‘s a wonderful perk in moderation😁 4y
TrishB Good plan 👍🏻 4y

BarbaraBB Aha. But moderation is hard I guess because you keep asking for books and then have to read them? 4y
julesG @BarbaraBB Moderation is sooo hard, especially since you never know which book you'll be approved for. So if I ask for 10 books, I'm expecting 8 refusals, but end up with 9 ARCs. 4y
Cinfhen Yes @BarbaraBB and what @julesG said ☝🏾😜 4y
BarbaraBB @julesG @Cinfhen The pressure must be killing 😉 4y
Cinfhen #BookNerdProblems @BarbaraBB @julesG 😁😂❣️ 4y
megnews I really liked Saint Mazie. 4y
Cinfhen I‘m liking it too @megnews BUT it‘s so different from her other novels ~ this is straight up HF 4y
megnews @Cinfhen my favorite genre, which may explain how I‘ve read this one and wasn‘t familiar with her others. 4y
Sace Oh...are we doing resolutions? I've definitely got some for myself! 4y
Sace Also....moderation is not my forte. I am tempted by NetGalley but I know that that road leads to madness. 4y
Cinfhen Resolutions and moderation seemed appropriate @Sace 😜 4y
alisiakae Some of the reasons above is why I‘ve largely stopped requesting ARC‘s on NetGalley. I always bite off more than I can manage! 4y
Cinfhen Yea, it‘s starts to feel like an albatross @4thhouseontheleft 4y
Daisey I‘ve had to learn to be very careful on NetGalley. I tend to limit myself to one session of browsing and no more than 5 requests until I know what will be approved. Then browse again after I write a review. 4y
Cinfhen I like your system @Daisey !!! That‘s gonna be my new approach too!! 4y
