For years I've been told to join NetGalley--among other sites--and start doing reviews for up-and-coming releases. I was always told, "well, you blog so they'd totally let you," and, "you really don't have to do anything." But here's the thing: I didn't blog well or dedicatedly, and I wanted to do something! I figured if I was going to join a site like NetGalley then I should do the authors some good... not just get free books out of it.
Well, the time has now come. I've been reviewing titles on VBPL Recommends for a while now, and with my shiny new blog here I thought... this might be the time! So this morning I signed up for NetGalley and started requesting titles. Well I am now here to tell you... I got my first approval!

Carly Keene, Literary Detective: Braving the Brontes
It's about a young girl (Carly Keene) who falls asleep in a magical bookstore and wakes up in 1846! She meets up with Charlotte Bronte who is currently writing Jane Eyre and discovers that Charlotte is being haunted by the spirit of her dead sister and must finish her book... or else!
I'm pretty much ecstatic to start this title! The synopsis reminds me a little of the Magic Tree House series, and I love the literary twist. I can't wait to finish reading and post my review for all of you to check out!
Wish me luck!
