I’ve fallen a bit behind this month because of all the library books I’ve been reading… I only reviewed three NetGalley books this month, and I’ve been approved for five new books. You can see where I was last month in my most recent check-in post. My feedback ratio dipped one percent to 71%, which means it is moving in the WRONG direction. lol. I’ve completed 65 ARC reviews out of the total 91 for which I have been approved. I now have 26 books available to review on my shelf, which is a slight increase from where I was this time last month. This next month and a half is super daunting because almost half of the books on my NetGalley shelf will be published by the end of August. I really didn’t plan these requests very well…
The books below are those currently needing to be reviewed. I plan to read and review the books in bold before my next NetGalley check-in on August 16, 2022.

How do you stay on top of your NetGalley ARCs? Are you successful at staying above the coveted 80% ratio threshold? Let me know in the comments!
Damn sir, that is ambitious!! My NetGalley Ratio is sitting at 91%, but that’s because I’ve been VERY picky about my requests (so I can read more backlist) and currently have only 3 sitting on my shelf (all of which come out next month). That line up looks amazing, have fun!
Yeah. I think I need to work on my self control a bit… I’m not sure if I’ll be able to get through them all on time, but I’m going to try my best.
I’ve been pretty picky about my requests the past 7 months, too, but I, uh, requested a couple more Orbit books and got approved. I don’t hate it. 😛
“Oh no, my finger slipped and I have more books…whoops…”
Hahaha exactly. This week I was toying with the idea of not buying books in 2023 and seeing what kind of dent I can make in my backlog…Mackenzie at litlemonbooks.com is doing that this year.
Lots of good-looking books here! My ratio just slid backwards a bit recently, too, because I got approved for a couple of Orbit books. A good problem to have. 🙂
There are just so many good books coming out soon. I couldn’t avoid requesting them all. lol I agree, though. It is definitely a good problem to have.
