A Sneak Peek at my NetGalley Shelf

I’ve been a member of NetGalley for years, although I really started reviewing in earnest in 2016. Since then, I’ve reviewed over 330 books for the site and my current feedback rating is at 79%.

This doesn’t take a genius mathematician to work out that there are a fair few books on my shelf still to review!

Today, I thought I’d let you have a quick look at some of what is on my shelf and (therefore) a sneaky look at what may well feature on the blog in coming months.

1. ‘The Whole Truth’ by Cara Hunter – I have loved the rest of the DI Fawley police procedurals by Hunter so was very excited to get the widget for this one! Not published until February 2021, it is an honour to get this advance copy.
2. ‘The Mitford Trial’ by Jessica Fellowes – another series that I’ve followed since the beginning, these books are historical murder mysteries that feature the lives of the Mitford sisters. This latest one looks brilliant as it is based on a real-life murder. To be published in November.
3. ‘The Unforgetting’ by Rose Black – this looks like a glorious historical novel in the same vein as those by Laura Purcell. It is out now and I really need to read it!
4. ‘Between the Covers’ by Jilly Cooper – I love Jilly Cooper and so jumped at the opportunity to read this collection of her musings on life, love and ageing. This is coming out in October.
5. ‘The Secret Life of the Savoy’ by Olivia Williams – this promises glitz and glamour and some fascinating history. It’s out now.
6. ‘The Shape of Darkness’ by Laura Purcell – I’ve loved all of Purcell’s books and was so excited to get this ARC! It isn’t out until January 2021 but it is edging up my TBR as I am so keen to read it.
7. ‘It Takes Two’ by Cathy Newman – I liked Newman’s previous book, ‘Bloody Brilliant Woman’ so jumped at the opportunity to read this account of couples who have made history.

So there you go! 7 books that are at the forefront of my NetGalley shelf. There’s plenty of others and I’m doing my absolute best to get my feedback rating above 80%. I just need to stop requesting now…
