NetGalley
Everyone knows about Libby, but do you know about NetGalley?? It's the book publishing industry's "dirty little secret" (direct quote from a pal on the inside) and if you sign up with a profile about where you post reviews — like, for example, Rec League — you can request early manuscripts of books that haven't been released yet.
This is the most satisfying reader hack I've discovered since learning you can delay a digital library book return if your Kindle wifi is turned off.

Lol — I think my hit rate is about 25%. But when it works, it WERKS!
I just read Nebraska (the new Monica Datta that people are already predicting for awards) and am diving into the Marlon James that releases this fall. LOVING LIFE!

“I must like you, this is a huuuuge Rec Alert 🚨. If you want to be part of early conversations around books, more than ever before, publishers are working directly with readers to get the word out about soon-to-be-released titles. Net Galley is a reader hub for those publishers. Here’s the deal: as a (free!) member, I peruse, I request, I stack my shelf and—when approved by a publisher— I download”

“You can sign up to review books before they get published. I have already read through a few cookbooks from people I adore and tested recipes. Cannot wait to post my reviews when they come out. Cookbooks are my favorite so that has been my main focus on reviewing but there is every genre available!”
