    Not another pandemic story!! This book follows Blue Velour (a complete fictionalized caricature of Lana Del Rey), Sasha (her lesbian producer), and Rose (a superfan who runs a “Gaylor” style subreddit and gets hired to be Blue’s assistant). As a diehard Lana fan myself I expect to love this book… it was wild and crazy and a fun read but I’m already so tired of pandemic stories… yes, it is purposeful to the plot but the quarantine section seemed to go on for a bit too long. I did enjoy the book for the most part. She really created an almost magical world with these characters. Very fun and almost campy in a way. The twist was nuts! Not expected at all!! This was my first Anna Dorn, I really like her writing and am still very interested in checking out more from her.

    Thank you NetGalley and Simon & Schuster for this ARC

  • Re-reading Books

    What are some books you guys have read multiple times? And why? I would say that I've probably only reread about 5-10 books in my entire life, I usually never feel like it because I'd rather spend that time reading a new book. Even though almost every reread would be pretty beneficial since I usually forget most of a book if it wasn't life changing 😂😂

  • NetGalley Users and Stats

    I'm curious about how many people on here use NetGalley too and for how long/ their feedback ratios/how often they get declined/luck with authors. If you get ARCs elsewhere, drop that in too!

    I'll go first. I've been a user since 2021 with 583 titles approved till date and 138 declined. My feedback ratio stands at 95% and I'm proud of it 💪. For some reason lately I haven't been getting emails when I get declined a title, so I have to go into the website and check. I've never been auto approved by a publisher, but I do get emails from agents sometimes offering me "Read It" of e-ARCS. Aaand the only publisher that's never approved a single request of mine is Berkely. At this point I'm convinced they have me on a blacklist (though I wouldn't know why) and I've long since given up sending them requests.
