I haven't had a graphic novel from NG but I did have a true story with lots of photographs and I was happily surprised I could see the photos on my Kindle Oasis (although they would probably have been bigger and better on my desktop screen).

It now can take minutes or days for my reviews to post but eventually they all get posted. I have no idea what the trigger is to post the reviews right away or days later. It's a mystery to me.

Last night I was notified that my three recent reviews were posted also. So things seem to have changed but eventually it seems that they still post all my reviews.

I always include that my book is an ARC from the publisher and NG or EW too. But sometimes I get digital versions of books from Overdrive library (which means they go through Amazon for Kindle) and Amazon posts those reviews also.

Until just recently, when I post my just reviews for just published books on Amazon, I'd get an email saying that they accepted it, within a few minutes but now it can take up to a week to get such a letter. Like you, my review for Daughter of Moloka'i hasn't been accepted yet and that review was posted through NetGalley so they know it's legitimate.

I'm reading The Heavens and am almost finished but the characters have started speaking Early Modern English and that's slowed me down :-Q

The Heavens

I'm a NG addict. Once I started requesting books, I've never been without books I want to read and enjoy reading. I review all of the books I read but I've very careful what I request, so that the books usually are a good fit for me. Looking for friends here, as I'm still pretty new to actually using Goodreads, despite being a member for a year. I'm am enjoying GRs and wish I'd been active here sooner.
