NetGalley November 2022 | An Ambitious List
NetGalley is a fabulous resource for obtaining eARCs to read for the blog. However, they recommend you keep your feedback left to requested books ratio at approximately 80%. This is much easier said than done, as there is a constant parade of books available to reviewers.
Several of my fellow book bloggers and I have teamed up for NetGalley November 2022. We plan to put a significant effort into improving our percentages.
I previously worked hard to hit that elusive 80% mark and get my badge for that achievement. Then, I promptly went on a requesting spree and sent my ration spiraling down.
I know there are reviewers who are in worse shape than me and some who only request a new book when they have finished their last. I am not that strong. lol. So, this is my attempt to return to 80%.
If I can read 14 books in November from my NetGalley shelf, I will succeed in reaching my goal. Now, considering my calendar and my previous commitments to blog tours, BBNYA, and author/publisher requests, I think it is highly unlikely I can read that many extras in November. However, I do believe my goal is reachable by the end of the year.
With that explanation, here is the list of the 14 books I hope to read. They are not listed in any particular order, so I can do some mood reading.

Aww…Thanks, Kyrie!
I fell to the pits one time on my Netgalley ratio and the climb up was so challenging that I decided never again! I’ve kept it above 80% since then! Good luck in the challenge! BTW…Social Graces is quite entertaining I thought! Enjoy!
This is the lowest I’ve ever been, but 68% is still doable.
You’ve got this! 🙌💯
