yes unless you read on your computer these are all digital review copies…If you are looking for paper books try the Goodreads giveaways.

Actually it is a site where you can request the books, There is never a guarantee you will get them.

Yes Sharlene I guess I should have been more specific! You don’t get every book you request.

If you look for the books that say ‘read now’, you automatically get those. You don’t have to request them.

yes that is true but you still have to be okay’d by Netgalley to receive those

Lately so many are requesting that are not established bloggers and many bloggers have been turned down.

i think they are getting more strict on who they approve.

I signed up as an educator, I have been turned down for some books, (mostly Harlequin) but I am approved for most requests.

They seem to accept people who only review on Goodreads so as long as you review somewhere you can apply.

I rarely review on Goodreads. Give it a try.

If you want free books but not necessarily ARCs, try the Overdrive app. Free audio and ebooks from your library. It rocks! You may already use it. I use Netgalley too but it serves a different purpose.

I don’t use a cell phone or have a kindle so I guess I will have to stay with the books.
