This is fantastically helpful! I’ve recently signed up with Net Galley, after you mentioned it in an earlier post, and been approved for two books, both history (one fiction, one non-fiction). This post is helpful for shaping the reviews that I eventually write on them. Hitting save!

Ethical quandary... I've seen ARCs in Little Free Libraries. Generally acceptable or hard no?

Completely acceptable - as long as it is after the pub date and not sharing an e-book copy.
