Tease was good! Hoping I get 'The inventor's secret', but know that will never happen.


message 655: by Amanda (new)

Amanda  (manka23) | 2337 comments I got denied for Teardrop (Teardrop, #1) by Lauren Kate Talented (Talented Saga, #1) by Sophie Davis Brazen by Katherine Longshore Now and Forever by Susane Colasanti Fiendish by Brenna Yovanoff
But on the plus side, I got approved for Expiration Day by William Campbell Powell Bewitched in Oz by Laura J. Burns


message 656: by Lauren (new)

Lauren (worgan) I think Talented by Sophie Davis is free on Amazon and Barnes & Noble at the moment... (Kindle & Nook versions)

Talented (Talented Saga, #1) by Sophie Davis is free on smashwords - http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/...


message 659: by Tati (new)

Tati Oooh, I've heard a lot about this series!


message 660: by Tati (new)

Tati And one thing I always wonder: can anyone keep their NetGalley ratio above 80%?


message 661: by Dana (new)

Dana | 887 comments Right now mine is around 50% thanks to all my read now books.


message 662: by Tati (new)

Tati Mine is around 30%, so the challenge will really help me boost my numbers

It gets easier the more approvals you get, and the more reviews you submit, so new approvals don't drop your percentage as much. Mine's at 96.3 at the moment.


message 664: by Tati (new)

Tati I want to get it up to 60% until the end of the challenge.

And HarperCollins just broke my heart... They turned down every request I made on Edelweiss


message 665: by Dana (new)

Dana | 887 comments What challenge are we talking about?


message 666: by Sarah Elizabeth (new)

Sarah Elizabeth (bookworm_sarah) | 90956 comments Mod
I never got approved by them much until I'd be blogging for 18 months, so maybe that's it?

It's penguin that always disappoint me. they have never, ever approved me for anything.


message 667: by Abi (new)

Abi (abi_gr) | 27659 comments I got denied for loads by harper collins as well.

The Review-copy clean-up challenge for april - https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...


message 669: by Tati (new)

Tati Disney Group also denies me everything...

I've been blogging for less than six months, maybe that's it, then... And I don't have a big following


message 670: by Dana (new)

Dana | 887 comments Thanks


message 671: by Dana (new)

Dana | 887 comments It would be nice if they told you why they didn't pick you. 90% of the time they give me no indication as to why I was rejected.

Sarah Elizabeth (bookworm_sarah) | 90956 comments Mod
I agree, I find that they don't actually tell you why they declined you, or give you a really rubbish excuse - like 'make sure your profile is up to date', when I update it every month.

Disney didn't even accept bloggers at all until this year. previously you had to be a librarian or a bookseller to get an approval from them.


message 674: by Amanda (new)

Amanda  (manka23) | 2337 comments I'm rather annoyed that St. Martin's Press denied me on Netgalley. I've reviewed a few hard copy books for them on romancejunkies.com like... you can send me a hard copy but not an ebook? Oh well.. not like I don't have a million books to read..

Oh, I didn't know that!


message 676: by Amanda (new)

Amanda  (manka23) | 2337 comments :( I just got turned down for Torn (Torn, #1) by K.A. Robinson . Was really hoping for that one. Man I'm getting a lot of denials today.
I've found that I get denied much more often on Edelweiss than NetGalley.


message 677: by Tati (new)

Tati Amanda, I didn't get that one either...

And I'm like you, NetGalley likes me better than Edelweiss


message 678: by Amanda (new)

Amanda  (manka23) | 2337 comments Got my fingers crossed for Far From You by Tess Sharpe , but I doubt I'll get it. But today's the last day to sign up for this batch of review copies from LibraryThing, and hopefully I get one or two from there as well.

I got denied for that as well.

Amanda  (manka23) | 2337 comments I got The Immortal Crown (Age of X, #2) by Richelle Mead !! Yay!!


message 681: by Sarah Elizabeth (new)

Sarah Elizabeth (bookworm_sarah) | 90956 comments Mod
Congrats!


message 682: by Amanda (new)

Amanda  (manka23) | 2337 comments I'm so shocked. I read the entire VA series in 6 days, so you could say I'm a Richelle Mead fan.


message 683: by Sarah Elizabeth (new)

Sarah Elizabeth (bookworm_sarah) | 90956 comments Mod
Yeah, I'm not even going to start the 'Age of X' series, it really doesn't sound like something I'd like.


message 685: by Tati (new)

Tati Well, Sarah, I couldn't even finish the first book, so you might like that one LOL


message 686: by Amanda (new)

Amanda  (manka23) | 2337 comments I hope I like it!

Maybe I would! I just finished Foretold (Sisters of Fate, #1) by Rinda Elliott and wasn't really a fan so you might like that ☺


message 688: by Tati (new)

Tati This is just weird, sharing book recommendations based on what we didn't like :D


message 689: by Sarah Elizabeth (new)

Sarah Elizabeth (bookworm_sarah) | 90956 comments Mod
Nah, I do it all the time. I know loads of people who have really different taste to me. I know that Hannelore loves most stuff that I hate, so if i come across another teardrop, I know to tell her about it!


message 690: by Dana (new)

Dana | 887 comments I was going to request the immortal crown but then I realized that it was the second in the series and I always like to start from the beginning.


message 691: by Marga (new)

Marga  (margaraawr) | 1550 comments Just Got approved on Edelweiss: In the End (In the After, #2) by Demitria Lunetta Strange and Ever After (Something Strange and Deadly, #3) by Susan Dennard

message 692: by Dana (new)

Dana | 887 comments I need to get on Edelweiss but I already have too many book to read as it is...
