Challenge: NetGalley Knockout (August 1-31)



When I first started using NetGalley, I was a kid in a sweet shop.

That looks good! *click* Oooh, that one looks interesting! *click* And... *click*

I didn't really think I'd get approved for any of them, at first, let alone most of what I asked for. And even after I figured that out, I didn't exactly stop myself... so what I'm trying to say is that I have a bit of a backlog.


The Netgalley Knockout challenge is to read as many e-galleys as possible during August, and I thought this might be a good opportunity to clear my virtual shelves, at least of books that are being released in August/September. Of which I have really rather too many. Here they are:

Crime/Thriller
Fantasy / Science Fiction
  • Blackwood, by Gwenda Bond {done}
  • The Assassin's Curse, by Cassandra Rose Clarke {done}
  • Bad Glass, by Richard E. Gropp
  • Mad Science Institute, by Sechin Power {done}
    Non-Fiction
    • Meander, by Jeremy Seal {done}
    • Planet Taco, by Jeffrey M. Pilcher {reading}
    • Picturing Illinois, by John A. Jackle & Keith A. Sculle
    • Best Buddhist Writing 2012, edited by Melvin McLeod {done}
    • Liars and Outliers, by Bruce Schneier
    That's fourteen, but I'll be pretty happy if I can get through ten of them. I haven't decided which ones yet.

    Oh wow, that sounds like loads of reading fun...but definitely not easy, especially with all your non-fictions! I'll admit, non-fiction's my weakness so Kudos to you for being able to read them, haha XD Good luck with the challenge, Rachel! <3
