Yes! The covers on Booktasters have put me off from requesting books from there too often 🙂
I also have a lot of books with me that I am planning to read in the next few months. Enjoy!

Ah right! Now that you mentioned Twitter, I remembered them! I am following them too, and we exchanged messages a few times. I saw the titles and … covers…😐 And instantly knew I wouldn’t be hurrying that direction. I have many promising books on my list that will already last me for a few months.

I have heard all about NetGalley and it sounds like quite a selection! I am glad you have found some great books – Happy reading!
Booktasters is via Twitter, and it is exceptionally hard to find good books through them 😉

I haven’t realised that. Well, you have a whole extra world to explore then. There are so many books on NetGalley. It’s harder to find good ones there, but just recently I discovered two, really good ones! I never heard about Booktasters 🤔

I don’t really get ARCs, although I have had some free review copies of books from Booktasters. Most of my reading is simply books that are already released 🙂

I didn’t realize you weren’t on NetGalley! Where do you get your ARCs from?

Looking forward to the New Year. I am aiming for a slightly better work/life balance, but will still blog as much as I can! I am also thinking about maybe starting on NetGalley…
And yes I am on Goodreads – there is a link to my account on my blog 🙂

Yes… I know I did. There were times when I’d pick up a book and simply put it back down again because it wasn’t the book I wanted to read – it was worse because the books I wanted were science fiction and fantasy – and I hadn’t got the resources to get hold of them. It’s MUCH better now:))

It’s still better when it’s just the wrong book at the moment than when it’s simply a bad-written book. I wonder if people had the same problems 20-30 years ago, with less access to books.
