I loved Hold Your Breath! I finished it yesterday afternoon after putting aside all the chores I was supposed to do just so I could finish it. It was a five star read for me.
I just downloaded a children's book for review, The Toothless Fairy. It looked so cute. Unfortunately, the formatting was so bad, in both the Kindle edition and in Adobe Digital that I was unable to see the whole thing and didn't feel I could give a true review. On the parts I could see, the writing rhymed and sounded lyrical and the pictures looked cute. Sorry I can't say more than that, but I honestly couldn't work my way through the mess. I left a note for the publisher without a review.
Mod
Fortunately, it is rare that there is an issue like that. I did tell them that I would still be interested to do a review if the formatting was corrected.

Feed Your Readers, the NetGalley Challenge
Duration: Monthly
How to Participate:
The NetGalley Challenge is designed to not only get you to read your NetGalley books, but to also advertise your reviews for others to see because after all, that's what NetGalley is all about.
Though you may pop in/out at any time, the NetGalley Challenge will run on a monthly basis so you are able to see progress being made.
1. At the beginning of the month, post any/all of the following:
a: How many books on your NetGalley shelf
b: What books are on your NG shelf
c: What your Netgalley feedback ratio is
2. During the month, read the NetGalley books that you can AND update your post with your reviews. (You can do this after each book or wait until the end of the month.)
3. At the end of the month, update your post and with:
a: What books you read
b: Link(s) to your review(s)**
c: Your updated shelf count
d: Your updated books to read
e: Your updated ratio
Then start a new post for the next month!
Do you ever get so caught up in your reading that you don't want to stop to write your reviews?
Thinking about that, it was decided we need a "Review Weekend", once each month, set aside to write those reviews you've been not doing in favor of reading!
Review Weekends will vary randomly each month and is meant to be a time set aside to review. Take one, or both days and get caught up on reviews so you can spend the rest of the month reading!!
The next Review Weekend is set for May 14th & 15th
**When linking your reviews, please link only to the book(s) here at GoodReads. At this time, linking to a personal blog is not allowed. Thank you!
