I have a lot to share and as I stumbled upon this feature I couldn’t resist the temptation!
Here’s the list of books I got approved from Netgalley for review:

1. Dark Child (Covens Rising) Episode #1 by Adina West

2. Dark Child (Covens Rising) Episode #2 by Adina West

Books I Bought:

1. Harry Potter And The Philosopher’s Stone by J. K. Rowling

    NetGalley is fatal for TBR lists! Will this be the first time you’ll be reading Harry Potter?

      You bet!
      And yea this will be my first time! Though I loved HP movies, I doubt that I’m gonna like the books that much. After reading Game Of Thrones series it’s quite hard to like anything else.
      Still I’m gonna read all the books in Harry Potter series as I don’t wanna be the only person on the planet who hasn’t read them 🙂

        I think this is one of those books that you will probably love or hate. It invokes strong opinions.
