The NetGalley BookTag


I saw this tag on Christina Reid's blog Chrikaru Reads, you can check out her answers here. Like any book blogger I love NetGalley so I thought this would be a fun one to take part in. 


Auto-Approved
Who is one author whose books you automatically want to read, regardless of what they are about?

I have a few auto-buy authors but I think my main ones are Rick Riorden, Holly Black and Marissa Meyer. 

Request
What makes you want to request a book on NetGalley?

I've always tried to not go too overboard with NetGalley books because you know, feedback ratio. If I'm having a general browse I'll often be drawn to books because of their cover or because I've heard buzz surrounding that title on Twitter. I've also requested books I've seen promoted by the publishers on Twitter and I've been contacted by the publisher to review a few too. 

Feedback Ratio
Do you review every book you read? If not, how do you decide what books to review?

Yes, I will review every book I read, regardless of rating, on Goodreads. On my blog however, I will only write full reviews for books I enjoyed, mainly 4 and 5 stars but I do review some 3 stars. Any other books I usually just feature in one of my mini review round ups and in my wrap up. 

Badges
If you could create one badge to display on your blog, what would it be for?

I'm not really sure for this one. Maybe one to promote my love of an author or a specific genre like, Rick Riorden Raver or Fantasy Fanatic. 

Wish For It
What's one book you're absolutely dying to read?

There's lots of books I'm anticipating this year, check out my most anticipated releases post if you want to see them, but one that springs to mind is Kingsbane by Claire Legrand. I loved Furyborn and I can't wait to carry on with this series. 

NetGalley Challenge
What is the last book that you received as an ARC that you reviewed? If you've never received an ARC, what's the last book you reviewed?

I've most recently written a review for The Glovemaker by Ann Weisgarber but I haven't posted this yet as it's for a blog tour. A couple of other recent reviews of ARCs and books I was gifted include, The Ruin of Kings by Jenn Lyons and In Fallen Woods by R.N. Merle. I'm currently reading a NetGalley copy on Enchantee by Gita Trelease so I'll be posting my review of that as soon as I'm done. 

So there are my answers for the NetGalley Book Tag. Hopefully this has given you a bit of an insight into my reading and reviewing habits. 

If you like the look of this tag I'd love for you to take part and share your links with me.

  4. Nice tag. I only request a couple of books at a time on NetGalley as I get bothered that I have outstanding books otherwise.
