I have something completely different for you this evening. A step away from the usual book reviews, blog tours and CaseClosed posts I usually subject you poor souls to.
You may (or may not) know about the wonderful, if slightly addictive, reading resource known as NetGalley. NetGalley helps readers of influence (I still laugh and blush a little when I think that includes me, ha!) discover and share the latest book releases with their audiences. Totally awesome, right? That is until you have 40 titles on your shelf, some of which have been there for coming up to two years *hangs head in shame*.
‘What can I do about this?’, I thought to myself. Well, my ‘new books ban’ is supposed to help me steer clear of adding any new titles to my shelf. That’s one step. I then thought how fun it would be for YOU LOT to choose what I read next.
So ladies and gentlemen, prepare yourself (it’s a long list)! You can choose as many books as you like and I will endeavour to read them in the order you, my lovely readers, select (most votes, first etc). The poll will close on Thursday 8th March so you have a couple of days to make your decision. What fun, huh? My reading future is in YOUR hands…
(Oh, and I’ve taken all of my blog tour reads out. It seemed the right thing to do.)

Bluebird bluebird. I’ve not read any but from what I’ve read this will be my choice.

You can still read these after 2 years? I thought once they reached the archive date you couldn’t read them or download them anymore? It was really difficult but I chose Little Girl Lost by Carol Wyer 🙂

You can still read and review them, but you can’t download them.
I always download the titles right away and send them to my Kindle.
That way you don’t have to worry about them disappearing when there are archived.

Emma, you are not alone! I just checked my NetGalley dashboard and I have 60 titles that have been there more than 3 months. A few of these have been there 2 years as well. It is so wonderful to learn that I have someone to ‘hang my head in shame’ with.
Your idea of a poll is a good one.
Happy reading!

Voted for The Ice Beneath Her, I loved it 🙂 I had managed to stay away from NG for weeks, but I missed blogging so much that I went on the site and requested three books in a row… Oops! xxx
