Ebooks on NetGalley/Edelweiss Showing 851-900 of 2,620

I tend to only use NetGalley.. but the amount of books I want seems obscene. Is anyone here actually in their recommended feedback ratio of 80%??? I don't think I have even been. I read one book then request two more ;)

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I wonder if they ever actually approve anyone, or if they just put the books on there to make us want them.

[Tati]

if they're not going to let anyone read their ARCs, why post them in the first place?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Just to get us all interested! I bet loads of people see them on netgalley and think 'that looks good', they can probably tell how popular a book is going to be by how many requests they get.

[Emily]

Some publishers do auto-approve.. I know Aspendawn Books &
Curiosity Quills Press do for sure… Not sure about the others though.

Mine is at 95.9, I think I've read like 20 books in the past week though.

Yeah, some do, we just don't know anyone who ever gets an approval from penguin.

A lot of them do, but it's so hard to get one book from penguin, that i doubt anyone has an auto approval by them, haha.

[Emily]

If it helps I have four approvals from Penguin Books Australia ?!? They were all last year though.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I got approved for by Penguin UK, only to find out that it was a mistake as they archived it before turning me down!

You must be super popular ☺

[Emily]

well that completely sucks…
I bought that book myself to go on my already very big to read pile :)

[Sarah Elizabeth]

UK only - https://www.netgalley.com/catalog/sho...

[Tati]

I'll pass this one. I don't love her books, so no reason to bring my netgalley ratio down

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I am staying far, far away!

[Tati]

because you have too many ARCs or because you don't like her books?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I don't like them.

[Tati]

Finally made it to 40% on NetGalley!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Yay! I've come to the realisation that I still need to read 4 more books to have less review copies than I started the challenge with. Ridiculous!

[Tati]

Thankfully, not many books have caught my eye there lately

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I've been trying not to request more, but then got aproved for one this morning that I requested more than a month ago! And it doesn't have a kindle option ☹

[Tati]

I only have 4 requests pending, which is almost a miracle LOL

Which one was it?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I really didn't expect to get it as it had been pending for so long.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I still have 3 pending, but I don't expect to get them, they're ones I requested in february and march. although I requested otherbound in march!

[Tati]

I almost went for that one, but it didn't have me entirely convinced.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Oh well, you're saved from reading another book with no kindle option now!

[Emily]

I've got six pending :(
After a long slog I have finally got myself to 67.8% on NetGalley… still got far too many to go, and that's without my own reading list which seems to be getting forgotten again.

Are you going for new authors? I'm trying VERY hard to stay only to authors and series i'm currently reading.

[cindy ♡]

i really need to read some books that i need to review :3 They have been on my kindle for the longest time

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I go for anything that I think looks good! I'm trying not to request anything else at the moment, but I'm still getting the odd one come through.

[Emily]

I think I have about 90 books all in all to review.. the pile never seems to go down...

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I was up to 60, but I got approved for so many recently that I've read 42, and I've still got 62 to go! I started the ARC challenge to try and get my review pile down, but it's still higher than it was when I started!

I really wish they would all note when they don't have kindle options. I have seen some do that but not nearly enough.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I wish they did that too. It's really frustrating when you get approved for something that you really want to read, only to find out that you can't read it on your kindle!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

US/Can only. https://www.netgalley.com/catalog/sho...

Has this not been released in the states yet? I'm sure I read this last year.

Book two is on netgalley? We read the third about 6 months ago!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I saw it and thought 'is that the fourth one?' (it has a different cover -


But it's the second one!

[Tati]

Maybe they're doing the same thing they did with Storm?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Maybe. Maybe it's only available as a hardcover in the US at the moment or something.
I don't know why, but the eyes on the cover remind me of Katy Perry!

She does look a bit like her!

How can the books I receive from Edelweiss be transferred to my kindle?

[Amanda]

I've vowed to not go onto netgalley until I get my review pile down. I keep winning books from blog giveaways that I entered forever ago... I have a couple first reads giveaways as well. I think I have at least six books coming to my house. And a whole bunch on my kindle that I have to read and review for netgalley or something else.
I need to catch up...

You have to choose the option to send them to your kindle on edelweiss. When you click the green download button it should say 'you are downloading this book in .... format' and next to that there should be a little blue word 'change'. Click change to change it to sending to your kindle.

I requested this one! It sounds good and Patchwork Press always approve stuff so finger crossed! :)

[Cyndel]

Ok it is not like i need any more books to read right now but I love reviewing so I ended up signing up with netgalley. Now I cant stop looking through it. Hope I start getting approved soon. Well better get back to the books I am working on now

ya i set my profile and have already found a few I sent my request for hope to get approved for atleast one of them so many great looking books

[Sarah Elizabeth]

you should consider downloading some of the 'read-now' titles (you can download these right away without waiting for approval). It gets your percentage up and shows publishers that you'll read and review books that you receive, making it more likely that publishers will approve you in the future ☺
You can find the 'read now' titles by clicking on 'read now' on the 'find titles' screen.
