Reviewing had to take a back seat in July as I was preparing for the first exam in my part-time masters course. I’ve sat the exam now (still waiting for the result) and I’ve got three weeks off work coming up so will have a lot more time for reading throughout August!

Current Feedback Ratio: 25%

My goal for August is to get this back up to 70%. I’ve almost finished The Lone Wolf Café and have just started A Tide of Black Steel. I’m planning on reading Coffin Moon and We Are Always Tender With Our Dead this month too.

My NetGalley Shelf

1. A Tide of Black Steel – Anthony Ryan (24 Sept 2024)
2. The Lone Wolf Café – Sydney Wilder (9 Sept 2025)
3. Coffin Moon – Keith Rosson (9 Sept 2025)
4. We Are Always Tender With Our Dead – Eric LaRocca (09 Sept 2025)
5. Daughter of the Otherworld – Shauna Lawless (11 Sept 2025)
6. Spit Back the Bones – Teagan Olivia King (30 Sept 2025)

Yes, this list is huge! I didn’t expect to get approved for literally every book I requested. 💀 I’ve got a busy month of reading ahead of me, that’s for sure. Also it seems September will be a very exciting time for fantasy readers!

NetGalley Requests – Pending

After getting approved for so many ARCs, I figured it would be best not to ask for any more!

NetGalley Requests – Rejected

Nothing!
