I spent a lot of the month cleaning out my Netgalley shelf and trying to raise my frankly abysmall feedback ratio.
It worked, until all the Netgalley requests came flooding in of course.
Whenever I see a new tag, I almost instantly join in. Róisín from Róisín’s Reading created a tag to go along with the Mid Year Freak Out Tag and the End of Year Book Tag.

There are plenty of authors I know and love dearly, but of course there will always be a never ending list of those I want to discover, too.

Where do you think I should start? Are any of these also on your TBR stack?
