#NetGalleyTBRAttack

This book is pretty good actually but it's not for me:

✔ Intriguing plot
✔ Blend of Victorian + Oriental components which I enjoy
✔ Good storytelling

❌ Not one likeable characters
❌ Explicit sexual content
❌ Some issues left unexplained although did not affect the whole story

Rating: 3🌟

Litsi What does this mean? What is a feedback ratio? 6y
britt_brooke Whoa!! I just joined NetGalley a few weeks ago so this totally blows my mind! 🙌🏻 6y
Well-ReadNeck @Litsi Feedback ratio is just the percentage of the the books you have read and given feedback out of the number of books you have received (approved). Supposedly, you should keep the ratio at 80% or higher. 6y

My #RehabTBR is a mix of #MountTBR, #NetGalleyTBRAttack, my personal challenge to read more physical copies off my shelves, and #bookmail.

Let's see how many I can get done this week. 😀

It‘s always hit and miss for me with poetry. Some of these poems really resonated with me, others did not. The ones that stuck with me did so because of their striking imagery and creepy weirdness.

One poem used red and white to talk about how stressful it is to grow up with religious expectations, walking through the world just waiting to be tainted. It really struck a chord with me.

A Victorian police procedural that I enjoyed!

✔ Intriguing plot
✔ Focus on police procedural
✔ Good storytelling and writing

❌ So-so characters development

Rating: 3.5 🌟

The Library Book | Susan Orlean

#netgalley #netgalleyTBRattack

A bit disappointing. I loved The Orchid Thief and the way Orlean ties threads together. This book was a lot of threads, but they just didn‘t form a cohesive whole for me.

Tadams4 Love your review! 7y

thereadingowlvina @Tjackson @AmyG @jfalkens We're all in the same boat!!! 😂 7y
thereadingowlvina @BarbaraTheBibliophage Usually the approvals will take a few days (well for me so far).That's why I was happily requesting those books. I stand corrected! All were approved at the same time. A little overwhelmed now 😔 7y
