#Netgalleygroup
Our 1st official post!! 🥳 I thought it would be nice to kick off with an intro to yourself so we can get to know each other better. You can be brief or deep dive. It's all good.
All newcomers welcome to join us. Please do let me know if you wish to be added/removed from the taglist.
I'll be posting our 1st challenge on Friday 😅
AllDebooks My name is Debbie, 50+(ish). I'm Mum to 4 amazing teenagers. I live in Derbyshire, UK, in a semi-rural area. I'm a lifelong bibliophile with a passion for all genres, except romance. I adore nature and also run #NaturaLitsy to connect with like-minded folks who love the natural world, too. I enjoy fiction and non-fiction equally. I also have a reading theme each year, 2023 is poetry. Over to you ..... 😀👋 2y

Cazxxx I‘m Caz, I live in Edinburgh, Scotland. I‘m 47 and have 3 children and 2 grandchildren. I‘m a life long book lover, practice witchcraft and love all things macabre. I‘m a very curious person and love learning from books. My favourite genre is gothic but enjoy most genres other than romance 🤮😂. I tend to read 50/50 fiction and nonfiction and because of health/disability I mainly read audiobooks. I can‘t function without coffee ☕️ 👋🏻 2y
sebrittainclark I'm Sarah, and I live in Arkansas. I have a 1 year old baby and have always loved reading. I tend to read about 75% fiction, and within that I mostly read SFF and romance. I tend to be reading 1 ebook or physical book and 1 audiobook at any given time. 2y
TheSpineView I'm Lisa, I live in upstate SC (Clemson area for those U.S. Littens) go Tigers! I am a lifelong reader and read most genres, except for Horror. Favorite genres are Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Paranormal and poetry. I host the daily #PoetryMatters, the weekly #Two4Tuesday, and cohost #SeriesLove2023 with @Andrew65 Besides reading, I love riding my horse, gardening, puzzling, playing the piano, and painting. 2y
Julsmarshall I love what a varied group of folks (and readers!) we are! I‘m Julie, another 50ish Mom to 2 young adults and I live in Texas. I work with the Texas Library Association so both my work and personal lives revolve around books. I read a bit of everything, mostly fiction, and nothing too scary/bloody. I do a lot of walking and some commuting, so I listen to a lot on #audio. I‘ve been married for nearly 20 years and my dogs are my best buds. 2y
Librarybelle I‘m Jess from Pennsylvania. I‘m a public librarian, have 4 males cats, and my reading style is pretty eclectic. 2y
bnp I'm Ardene, and I live in Georgia (US) in the Atlanta metro area. I work in a public library and a bit more than 5 years from retirement. I'm an on-again off-again Net Galley reader, and am currently trying to decide which of 6 books on my list to request - essays about Bayard Rustin? Science fiction classics being republished? Islands in deep time? (non fiction)? A story about a bookstore? A memoir weaving Japanese folktales & art with memory? 2y
AllDebooks @Cazxxx I love gothic fiction too. I've only just switched to using audiobooks, always hated them. But now I'm older, I really enjoy them 2y
AllDebooks @sebrittainclark a baby, how precious. Enjoy your time, they grow up so fast 😍 2y
AllDebooks @TheSpineView great selection of hobbies there!! I've just been plotting more reads for #Serieslove2023 so far, I've only managed Lore Olympus 2y
AllDebooks @Julsmarshall I would love to work in a library/bookshop, but worry I would never get any work done. I'd be hiding in the stacks, reading. 😅 2y
AllDebooks @Librarybelle 4 cats!!! I have enough trouble with the 1. Do they get along? 2y
AllDebooks @bnp nice to know more about you Ardene. Tell me more about this Japanese folktales book 😍 2y
AllDebooks It's so nice to know more about you. Thank you so much for joining me. Are you ready for the challenge? 2y
LocalTXLibrarian I'm Lani! I'm 24 and from Texas. I currently work as a public librarian in the same library that I spent most of my childhood in - so it's an absolute dream for me! 💛 I love reading mystery/thrillers, but lately I have found myself enjoying classics. I work closely with teens in the library, so I also read a lot of YA. I have been on Netgalley just since the beginning of the year and I have 39 books I need to read...it's a real problem! 😂 2y
Librarybelle @AllDebooks The middle two do not, but we manage. 😂 2y
Larkken 👋 I‘m Larkin from Nebraska. I‘m a forensic anthropologist, and I have a dog, a cat, and a partner that put up with me when I‘m nose deep in a book. I read pretty widely, particularly on audiobook… but sff and horror are my comfort genres! Glad to join you all, and to get back into ARCs :) 2y
bnp @AllDebooks The book is The night parade by Jami Nakamura Lin. It is a memoir that incorporates Japanese folktales, and is illustrated by the author's sister. 2y
BookmarkTavern Hello! I‘m Krysta from Utah! I joined up for NetGalley at the beginning of the pandemic, because I wasn‘t working at the time. But then I went back to work and my turnaround time became much worse. 😂 I have a cat Lucy, although I joke it‘s short for Lucifer. And I can‘t wait to see what everyone is reading! ❤️ 2y
AllDebooks @LocalTXLibrarian hi 👋 dream job!! I hear you, I joined in November and got so excited at free books I went on a demented request spree. 2y
AllDebooks @Larkken glad you've joined us. Your job sounds fascinating 2y
AllDebooks @bnp looks beautiful x 2y
AllDebooks @ozma.of.oz Lucifer 😂 glad you've joined us. I'm excited to see what everyone's reading, although I have concerns it's gonna explode my wishlist 🫣 2y
