Q:   Do you use other sources for ARCs besides NetGalley?
A: I also use Edelweiss or I get emails from authors, publicists and publishers. With the amount of books that I have to be read that I own already is atrocious though and I very seldom request or want a book.

    I'm more familiar with Nghi Vo's work through The Singing Hills Cycle, but What The Dead Know looks interesting as well. Have a great weekend!

    I should probably take on fewer ARCs, but it is so hard to say no to a free book of something that has caught your attention.

      I also have a problem saying no to free books, or cheap reads. Like yesterday I bought 2 books on Amazon that were on my wish list, but they were only $1.99, so I couldn't resist!!!!

    Intriguing beginning, but I am not so sure about the story when I read page 56.

    Good morning Freda,
    Mine is for BBH ~ I use Edelweiss, BookSirens and Booksprout. I am not sure where else to get them. Maybe because I am too lazy to research it!🤣

    Have a fantastic weekend honey 😉

    I need to read more short stories. This one sounds good! I've been wanting to try something by Nghi Vo. I use NetGalley and Edelweiss too. Thank you for hosting and have a great weekend!

    I request way too many books on Netgalley, and lack good organizational skills which compounds the problems from my overindulgence.

    I hope you have a great weekend.

Still, it was kind of cool to reminice about two cartoons from my childhood. So many great actors bring the film to life! What a fun story it was too! Although
