marlin1’s comments from the Aussie Readers group.

Vanish/Shelley Burr is currently up for read now and it’s Hachette Australia &New Zealand plus option of send to kindle.

Endgame and Outback Reunion for me….little happy dance as I love both series

I requested that on Friday but nothing yet 😞.

I’m so looking forward to reading this Brenda but would rather know yes or no!

Marianne wrote: "Just spotted Allen & Unwin on NetGalley!"
Yah, hopefully they keep offering.

On another note, has anyone requested and received The Summer Place by Janette Paul?
I requested this on 23rd March and it’s published next Wed but haven’t heard anything yet😞

Thanks Brenda 🙂

AA Author Kylie Kaden has a new book on Netgalley called After The Smoke Clears….but not on Goodreads yet that I can see.

It doesn’t have a cover on Netgalley yet either.

Thanks Brenda, I’ve requested as it sounds good

Thanks for the heads up, I checked Netgalley earlier today and they weren’t there. Just The Fancies by Kim Lock and Family Baggage by Ilsa Evans for me….but why is Harper Collins still not a Kindle download 🙁 I would love to read The Heart Is a Star by Megan Rogers but refuse to read on iPad!

Me too, thanks Tien

Depends if you are Auto Approved Karren...."

Yes, it’s a ‘read now’ for me and not auto approved.

I didn’t download that one, as I have my fingers and toes crossed for the other two that Brenda mentioned.🤞🤞

Yay…..granted overnight😃

Karren wrote: "Keeping Up Appearances by Tricia Stringer and it's available to Read Now."

Thank you Sharon and Karren, I’ve been waiting for this one 😀

Sharon wrote: "Accidentally Working Class by Karly Lane

I must have missed this when Sharon initially posted it was up, so requested back on the 4th…..
I really want to read it but still waiting patiently to see if granted or not 😔
I was hoping that it would be quick because it seems self published/different publisher than her usual books?

Brenda wrote: "All fixed, thanks Tien :) Fixed the author on the first link, then combined them."

Thanks Tien and Brenda, was scrolling and posting while having breaky before work and ran out of time to look again.

Another Australian Author that I didn’t know about, psychological thrillers/family drama from what I can see.

Interestingly when I first searched the following book I found the link with a cover and reviews…now can’t seem to link or find it!🤷‍♀️

That’s a contemptibly dismissive response! I wonder why they bother at all."

Well, they're alienating a large cohort of loyal, experienced and well-established early reader-reviewers at their p..."

I did ask for a bit more clarification and this was the response…

Hi

Thanks for your email.

I apologise for the miscommunication on my end. What I meant to say was that we do not have the kindle version live until the publication date of the book in stores. Only the epub is available prior to publication date.

Have a great day,

Still think it’s a bit of a cop out on their part

Here’s the reply, basically don’t think it’s going to happen….

Hi

Thank you for your email.

Unfortunately, we do not have our epublications available prior to the publication dates of our books.

I apologise for the inconvenience.

Will do🙂

I emailed the publicity person from the website today, so see if I get a response. Otherwise I might try Facebook via pm…I don’t like posting to the pages.
