Decided to make some of my candles into melts and ended up burning my hand

Is this good stats for Netgalley?

On goodreads I have 499 friends. I just started using twitter I have 7 followers. I have 38 followers on my blog. 18 of that is through email and 20 is through blog lovin. I have 50 followers on blog lovin. I have 25 people following me through google plus. I have 666 views, 244 visitors, 23 likes and 37 comments.

I've got way less than that, and I get most of what I request, and have been auto-approved by some big publishing houses, so I'd say it's good.

Don't know if it's necessary to post the number of comments and likes, though.

[onceuponatimeareview]

Oh I wasn't sure because I haven't got approved by the any of the big publishing houses.

It will be better than some people, but not as good as others, it will all depend on what the publisher is looking for.

[onceuponatimeareview]

I'm trying to get to some of the bigger publishers. I think the only big publisher would Entangled Teen.

Also does anyone know how to make their own stars like some bloggers use on their blogs.

[Tati]

My numbers are lower than yours, and I've had my NetGalley account since 2013, and I have been auto-approved by Penguin Random House Children's, Hachette Children's Books, Harper Collins Children's. And other big publishers consistently approve me, like Disney. I do have a ratio above 80%, though.

[onceuponatimeareview]

That could be why since I only have a 52%

[Sarah Elizabeth]

My numbers are a lot higher, but I don't get approved for everything I request.

[Irene]

On my way to see some puppies. They're 4 weeks old and my parents are choosing one today :)

[Sarah Elizabeth]

How sweet!

[Irene]

They really were <3

Just started this and my kindle says - '160 hrs 47 minutes left in book'. How depressing is that?!

I just got the call from the orthopedic I'm going tomorrow and I'm super nervous that they won't be able to do anything though they sent me to one of the best orthopedic people where I live he also does surgeries which isn't really a good sign.

[Irene]

Oh no :( Sorry to hear about that :( I really everything will turn out okay.

And ikr? Tons of arcs lying around here!

Most likely I will have surgery :(

Yeah so many arcs.

[Irene]

Well, I hope you won't :)

And they just keep coming! :)

There's so much drama in the Danish bookblogging community today, it's crazy!! Some days you just need the drama, but this has gotten too much - everyone is hating on each other. It's ridiculous! And it makes me sad :(

Oh dear, what happened?

Long story short-ish:
Person 1 said in a blogpost that they are tired of hearing about how amazing Jane Austen is. Person 2 commented that she was so tired of all the hate on Jane Austen. Person 3 tweeted that they were tired of everyone hating on Austen. Then there were a lot of drama and it was still kind of fun. Then later tonight, person 4 said that she was tired of some people calling themselves experts just because they're studying literature and that we're all worth something in the community. Person 2 argued that because they're studying literature, they are experts. 2 and 4 went back and forth, and just wouldn't accepts each other and it ended with 4 saying that there's a hierarchy in the blogger community.
That last statement is just basically what p*ssed off people. Which is understandable, I think. And now person 4 has disappeared from the discussion. I don't know. Just a lot of drama that esqualated real quickly!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Oh dear me! that sounds like a conversation i would be steering clear of!

[Irene]

Ikr? It's just so easy to misunderstand each other, especially on a media like Twitter where you only have 140 characters...

[Irene]

It's a Friday night and I just started working on a project for uni....

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Fun!

[Irene]

Ikr? :(
At least it's about bookblogging. But do you know how hard it is to find any theory on that subject? Jeez!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I can't imagine that's easy at all!

[Irene]

It's so annoying that they removed the refresh button from the Android app, I can't even!!!!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

that sounds bad. do you think its just a glitch?

[Irene]

No I'm pretty sure it's intentional :/

[Sarah Elizabeth]

poo ☹

[Samia]

I have a lot of unreads on my shelf, but I am constantly looking for new books!!! what to do? How do I make myself to actually read the ones that I have? Any ideas?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I usually go for challenges, that tends to motivate ☺

If you have any bookish newsletter subscription, delete them. Delete your credit card from online stores - this means you'll have to find your card whenever you wanna buy something and by the time you get up from the couch, maybe you don't want to buy it anyway. These two tips has helped me a bit of the way, as long with realizing that yes, it may be an actual problem - it kind of was for me *ashamed*

If you have any ..."

that is good advice!! I think I have to restrict myself from carrying extra money too....my physical shelf is overflowing with unreads too! :(

Sarah, I'll try to sign up for some challenges!

Yeah, that's good as well. Leave your credit card at home and carry cash with you when you're going shopping and only take a bit more than you know you'll be using :)

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I'm programmed to walk past shops that have books. If I even stop to look I can hear my boyfriend sighing even if he's not there. He doesn't mind me buying kindle books so much though, the only books I'm allowed to purchase to my heart's content are kindle freebies, which is probably why I have so many ☺

[Samia]

lol, my family has given up on me about buying books! :p

On a different thought, how many of got fooled by the goodreads dating app announcement? I totally bought it!! *embarrassed*:P :P

[Irene]

Aww :( Well, if you're serious about it, I could use some support and so we could support each other and try not to buy any? You can PM me if you're up for it :)

Well, I didn't, but I'm kind of confused that it's not taken off the site yet :P

Irene, sure! I'll PM you!

and, apparently people are still commenting on the thread, and they actually seem to want an app like that!! :O

[Irene]

I guess that if I was single it would be kind of cool? I don't know... It seems a bit weird too! :D

[Sarah Elizabeth]

If you think about some of the weirdos that contact you on goodreads, can you imagine what it would be like with a dating service?
