#WeeklyForecast Tagged was amazing 😍 I wouldnt consider it dark romance. More dark contemporary w/ spicy forbidden romance. Tension between the MCs had me dying plus all the twists & turns throughout. I understand the hype now. 4⭐

Other read was phenomenal!! Supernatural 19th century gothic where a twin comes to her sisters aid when losing her sanity after encountering centuries-old murdered woman in the bog. #arc #Netgalley 4⭐

#netgalley Pub 13th Feb UK

Hmmm…can‘t decide if this is a very light pick or a so-so. It wasn‘t what I expected and, indeed the chronology was quite different to the blurb.

Daniel, referred to as ‘the boy‘ throughout, attends a school where his father used to be headmaster so feels above everyone else. Then he makes a new friend and a popular teacher shows interest in him, but his mother and father are behaving oddly.

Daniel was very ⬇️

squirrelbrain …unlikeable, his sister was almost invisible and it felt very old-fashioned, almost 60s, despite being set in the late 1990s. By the end, though, I did appreciate Daniel‘s inner voice and understood the way his mind was working, hence the light pick. (edited) 1d

This was beyond cute! The characters themselves were adorable and there were a lot of different ones.

The instructions were clear, detailed, and easy to follow. This made it accessible to someone like me who doesn‘t draw.

The characters each had a unique description which would appeal to fantasy or D&D fans. I shared this with my D&D group who immediately wanted to draw their characters as cute creatures.

Thanks to #NetGalley the #ARC

3/5

The War is over and Jon is home from the French prison he's been in to find that he is now a duke, and his sister's governess, Tory, is the daughter of his dead mentor. Jon is committed to finding Tory a husband, even if he finds himself drawn to her.

I've never read a book about detenus. There was a lot going on with the history, as well as Tory's backstory, so sometimes the characters and their romance felt a little flat.

Butterfinger I have to Google detenus. 2d

Just wondering. What do you think of the new #NetGalley file format?
I don't own a tablet, and I can't read from my pc, first, because it tires me, and second, because l mostly read on the tran these days 😂
So my dad nlynoption is my mobile phone 🙄
Not the most comfortable of solutions. But it looks like it's impossible to download the app on my Kobo reader.
How is everybody else feeling about it?

DGRachel I keep my Kindle strictly for NetGalley. I have not checked out the non-Kindle file format, but are you able to open the NetGalley files on a PC and transfer to your Kobo from said PC? I‘ve had ebooks I purchased direct from Indie publishers that require that kind of acrobatics to read on my Kobo. It‘s a pain, but I can‘t read on a PC or standard tablet (edited) 2d
julesG I usually read on my Kindle. Sometimes on the phone, using the NetGalley app. I have yet to try the new file format and the "reading in browser" thingy. I don't like reading books on my computer, but -no idea why- I'm reading faster on the computer. 2d
JazzFeathers @julesG l have downloaded the NetGalley app on my phone. Let's see how it goes... 2d
JazzFeathers @DGRachel Yes, l have tried. But because the files are protected, there is no way to read them unless you have the appropriate program 😟 2d
DGRachel Gotcha. They‘re DRM protected then. I‘ve never bothered to check since I won‘t accept an invitation to read if it‘s not available on Kindle. Sorry. 😔 2d

I really wanted to like this and the premise sounded great but sadly it failed to deliver. It was a long read and the pace never seemed to pick up. I read onto the end to see how it would finally all play out and there was a couple of interesting twists but it didnt make up for the rest of the book. I struggle with the unreliable narrator style stories as they can feel disjointed and you don't connect with the lead. #Netgalley 2*

'Jane' fell off her horse, lost her memories and was taken in by Jasper and his sisters. They care wonderfully for her and try to help her get her memories back. Of course there are feelings between 'Jane' and Jasper. Alas, it's complicated.

Liked the writing and characters and hope this'll be a series. There are a lot of family members who need a HEA.

4.5/5

On the interstellar ship, the Fairweather, death is temporary when a new body can be created and your memories restored from a copy in the library, But when detective Dorothy Gentleman wakes up in a body that isn't hers and to news that there's just been a murder, it's clear that someone's figured out how to make a murder stick, and this new body might have something to do with it.

This is a fun fantasy mystery series. This is book 2. I would recommend starting with the first book.
