  1. ::sigh:: Have fun, those with access! =) As much as my inner child may scream, I can wait until August! Reluctantly… ::chuckle::

      • You have to be a reviewer. I don’t know all the criteria, but they get early copies so they can have reviews ready to go when the book is released.

      • Different publishers have different requirements. Some require a certain review rate – ie, you review at least 90% of what you request.

        There are exceptions- I’m a librarian. I submitted my ALA (american librarian association ) membership number to confirm that, and i get most arcs without having to review them. That’s because I use arcs to help me decide what to purchase for our library, and to do Readers advisory.

    • One step closer!
      Y’all enjoy, I will just read Magic Triumphs and anticipate August… ?

  2. To those who will read the ARCs: have lots of fun reading. The rest of us will have to wait. :sigh: 🙂

  3. Boy do I wish I could read an arc. At 70 years young, waiting gets harder and harder.

    • Me three, ladies.
      I really love being retired. I can read until I fall asleep and drop the book – or the iPad – and not bother anyone. (The cats don’t care, though they don’t like it when things hit the floor.)
      Another benefit – the AL’s are much younger. I’m counting on them out-living me, so I’ll never have to wonder how a series would have finished…

      • Me 4. I keeping hoping that some series I read will finish in just a few years. Time may not be no my side.

        • You all need to start a book review blog and become influencers… or however that works! You’re in your prime for this – work it!

      • Gee I’m a guy and won’t be 70 for another 5 months but hope I can join your club anyway. As far as Ilona and Gordon go, I title myself their “number 1 old man fan”, who knew I was actually so young! (and I was hoping to get an ARC invite too!)

        • Ilona does not decide who gets an ARC you have to go to those sites and register there.

    • Reminds me of my older cousin when she said she doesn’t buy green bananas anymore.

  7. I feel like I’m a vulture circling above both website…waiting for them to drop the goods…c’mon guys, don’t make me wait too much! XD

  8. I’ve got a REALLY sharp eye for details like typos. Please, please can I be a beta reader? Please, pretty please, with Rogan on top?

  10. As much as I’d love to be able to read the story early, there is something to be said for having something good to look forward to. August seems like a long way away, but it will get here eventually. Plus, I want the audio book version & there are no arc copies of that! ?

  12. Alas, I lack the creds required to have a chance. And since I’m lousy at reviewing without spoiling, there’s no real point in my trying.
    Those who can, enjoy!

  14. I would love to review it, but I lack the creds, to receive one though Net Gallery. Sad but true, but I would love to be a reviewer if there is some other way to do it! Wink, wink lol

  21. Ahhhh ARCs!! Will be on the lookout for it and will definitely request a copy but not feeling very hopeful since I usually get rejected because I’m reviewer in the Philippines and not in the US. Still super excited that Sapphire Flames is in its complete form now!

  22. It would appear that there is no ARCs to be had on either site as of yet.

  25. I am rereading several cozy series right now. I start a new book, get partway through it, and read the ending. Not sure if it’s me or the book. Sigh. A couple downloading on the 7th, so happy days there. Oh well, back to books I know I like and patiently waiting for Maud and SF.

  26. To those who would love ARCs – just register at NetGalley or Edelweiss. Although bloggers with 1000s of followers are preferred they are also happy to accept ordinary readers. Obviously they want readers to write (honest) reviews and post them on various websites like Goodreads, Amazon, Kobo, Barnes & Noble, Googleplay etc as close to the release day as possible but in return you get free books. The downside is you don’t always get accepted, I got refused for Magic Binds but accepted for Iron and Magic and the Innkeeper Chronicles.
    Anyhoo, I’m off to check NetGalley yet again for ARCs …

  30. Been checking since midnight. I got invited to review Iron and Magic when it was inn Netgalley. Fingers crossed for Sapphire Flames. ??
