For this post, I want to share the books on my TBR list that I have received from NetGalley.
This post contains affiliate links, which means I may earn a commission if you make a purchase through my links, but there is no extra cost to you.
At NetGalley you can request to review books, and if you are accepted you will receive a digital copy for free. You will not always be accepted (especially if the publisher has reached the limit of copies to give out), but the more books you review, the higher your chance of being accepted is. You are also under no obligation to review a book and there is no time limit either. The only thing you have to do is download the book before it is archived because once it is archived you can no longer download and review it. Even though all the books I received from NetGalley are mysteries and thrillers, there are tons of categories to choose from including general fiction, young adult, sci-fi, fantasy, romance, and nonfiction. The books on my TBR list from NetGalley include:
Bring Her Home by David Bell
In Bring Her Home, Bill’s daughter Summer and her best friend Haley disappear and days later they are found in a park. Haley is pronounced dead on the scene, and Summer is beaten beyond recognition. As Bill spends time with Summer, the only word she can say is No and he begins wondering what happened to her and if she is really his daughter. Bill soon learns that the living and dead have secrets and the truth will open old wounds.
I have since read and reviewed Bring Her Home.

You can also check out my reviews of several other books I received from NetGalley including Are You Sleeping, Blackout, Framed and Burning, and Why the F*ck Can’t I Change?
This is an awesome way to get to read lots of books. Wish I had more time to sit and just read. but that will have to stand over till I stop working, although not sure when or if that will ever happen.
Some days I feel like I have no time to read, but I try to set 1 hour a night for reading 😊
You like similar books to what I like! I love thrillers and detective type books, I think Im a frustrated Detective haha. This sounds like a great idea to review books, I may look into it. Thanks for sharing so many books on my want to read list now!
Haha I love solving mysteries & seeing if I can figure out who do it before it’s revealed 😄
Some great thrillers there – thanks for sharing!

Gambrelli and the Prosecutor looks so intriguing, might have to get my hands on some of these! xx
Hopefully it’s a good read! 😊
These looks fantastic! NetGalley is a fantastic way to discover new authors, and even some older authors that you might not be familiar with. Do you typically read suspense/mystery, or are you like me, where you go in spurts in different genres?
NetGalley is great! I normally read mysteries, but I will read other genres 😊
What a great way to discover new books and authors. Thanks for introducing some to me, I’ve not read any of these. Ill be sure to look out for The Unforgotten and Enigma!

These books all sound amazing! I do regret not reading more books last year but I’m determined to read a lot more this year and these are some great recommendations!
Samantha
I’m the same way & I barely read last year, but I’m planning on changing that!
Give up the dead sounds interesting. I would love to read more mysteries books. 🤗
Hopefully it’s a good read! Mysteries are great! 😊
This sounds so interesting, what a cool way to get to read a load of books. I haven’t heard of any of these but they sound really interesting, seven suspects sounds super cool!
Yes it does! Hopefully they’re good reads! 😄
Give up the dead and Devil’s prayer both sound cool! Haven’t read any of these but they sound interesting 🙂
They do! Hopefully both of them are good reads 😊
Girl in Snow sounds freaky but good~
I agree the name sounds creepy, but the plot sounds interesting!
Really cool TBR! Bring Her Home sounds really good!
What I read so far is interesting & I’ll do a review on it when I’m finished 😊
Wow. These certainly seem to be a very cool number of books to be sure. I’m sorry to say that I haven’t read any of these. But that said I have to say that the one that interests me the most is Give up the dead. I really like the premise of this one. Never exactly knew how Netgalley worked. But that’s pretty cool. As I’m reading way too less at the moment…I’m not going to give this a shot. But for people that really read a lot that is a very cool deal indeed.
I agree NetGalley is really cool & like I said there’s no time limit so you could review the book whenever you got around to it! Like some of these books are from last summer woops but I’m slowly making my way through them!
