The NetGalley Book Tag

➽ RULES
Β¬ Link back to the tag’s creator: Kourtni at Kourtni Reads
Β¬ Thank and link back to the person who tagged you: Avery @ Red Rocket Panda
Β¬ Answer the questions the best you can. If you don’t use NetGalley, you can substitute other sites or places where you get books!
Β¬ Tag a few people to do this too!


➽ AUTO-APPROVED: WHO’S ONE AUTHOR WHOSE BOOKS YOU AUTOMATICALLY WANT TO READ, REGARDLESS OF WHAT THEY ARE ABOUT?

Lord, help me. I can’t pick between Holly Black and Laini Taylor, and nothing on this planet will make it, even though I want Muse of Nightmares more than any other physical thing right now in my life.


➽ REQUEST: WHAT MAKES YOU WANT TO REQUEST A BOOK ON NETGALLEY?

So many things will make me want to request an ARC, but mostly if it a fantasy (bonus points if it has fae) and if it is written by someone with a marginalized voice. But I will totally request books because of the hype, because of a trusted friend, and because the author is very kind, too!


➽ FEEDBACK RATIO: DO YOU REVIEW EVERY BOOK YOU READ? IF NOT, HOW DO YOU DECIDE WHAT BOOKS TO REVIEW?
I review every book I read, with the exception of DNFs that I won’t post on the blog, but I will still post mini reviews on Goodreads and on Netgalley. Also, because of a Top Ten Tuesday topic earlier this month, I now know that I’ve only DNFed seven books in the last couple years!


➽ BADGES: IF YOU COULD CREATE ONE BADGE TO DISPLAY ON YOUR BLOG, WHAT WOULD IT BE FOR?

Probably some sort of badge that would let people know that I am making an effort to read diversely. Or that diverse authors and books are something that I always want to boost and support. Maybe a badge for 25+ ownvoices reviews, 25+ LGBTQIAP+ reads, 25+ reads not set in The United States! I don’t know, something like that though.


➽ WISH FOR IT: WHAT’S ONE BOOK THAT YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY DYING TO READ?


Oh, cruel world. I’m going to have to bring it up again? Without a doubt in my mind, without a question, Muse of Nightmares by Laini Taylor. If you have a copy and you’d like to make a grown ass woman’s dreams come true – DM me on any platform to receive my never ending and never waning love. Thank you.


➽ 2018 NETGALLEY CHALLENGE: WHAT WAS THE LAST BOOK THAT YOU RECEIVED AS AN ARC THAT YOU REVIEWED? IF YOU’VE NEVER RECEIVED AN ARC, WHAT’S THE LAST BOOK YOU REVIEWED?


The last book that I received from Netgalley and reviewed is Spinning Silver by Naomi Novik, but the blog post hasn’t been scheduled yet! Soon, my loves, soon!
