message 1201: by Tati (new)

Tati All I Know is that I need another ARC challenge LOL

But as my schedule is pretty clear until the end of the month, I guess I'll tackle some ARCs before the MMC

I've gotten rid of most of mine now. there's a couple I might still download from edelweiss, but I currently only have 3 review copies that I've already downloaded to read.

Marga  (margaraawr) | 1550 comments Hi guys! Is it possible to add pictures on your "about me" on NetGalley? To show publishers your no. of followers and the likes? :)

Sarah Elizabeth (bookworm_sarah) | 90956 comments Mod
I don't think so. You can add links to your facebook page and things though.


message 1207: by Marga (new)

Marga  (margaraawr) | 1550 comments The links cannot be clicked though right? It should be copied and paste by the publishers? Or there's something wrong with mine? ^O^

On the left hand side of your profile page, there should be a list of 'your sites', and below them an orange button that says 'add site'. You can add your links there, and then publishers can just click on them ☺


message 1209: by Marga (new)

Marga  (margaraawr) | 1550 comments Oh right, I am aware of that one but thanks anyway Sarah!


message 1212: by Dana (new)

Dana | 887 comments Frozen (Heart of Dread, #1) by Melissa de la Cruz https://www.netgalley.com/catalog/sho...

Read Now!(better not be a teaser)


message 1213: by Kate (new)

Kate (kaitlins16) I don't believe it is a teaser. The publisher has added two others as read now. :) I thought of getting that book, but I'm not sure if I would really like it.


message 1214: by Dana (new)

Dana | 887 comments I got it based solely on the fact that I liked witches of east end. Apart from that, not super familiar with either of these authors. However its not a huge book so I thought I'd check it out.

rachel, x (typedtruths) | 8401 comments Thanks @Dana! I just downloaded it and Boy Nobody (Boy Nobody, #1) by Allen Zadoff A Song for Ella Grey by David Almond .

has anyone noticed that you can now vote on whether you like a book cover on netgalley? there are little up and down thumbs under each cover!


message 1218: by Irene (new)

Irene (raenne) | 4856 comments @Sarah - That's news to me! :)


message 1219: by Heather (new)

Heather | 10157 comments News to me as well!


message 1220: by Tati (new)

Tati for me as well! That's a nice thing, there are some weird covers that pop up in there


message 1221: by Katie (new)

Katie Sorry to post here about this, but I can't find anything online - do you guys know if you can edit your reviews on Netgalley? I just wrote one that included my email in the notes, and forgot an 's' so now the publisher has the wrong one!


message 1222: by Dana (new)

Dana | 887 comments I dont think you can edit them


message 1223: by Katie (new)

Katie Dana wrote: "I dont think you can edit them"

I didn't think so either. I guess I'll just hope they don't try contacting me! Thanks for answering :)


message 1224: by Amanda (new)

Amanda  (manka23) | 2337 comments Suddenly I'm getting approved for EVERYTHING on Netgalley. It's a problem because I requested a few too many titles.. and now my feedback ratio is suffering. I used to get denied a lot more, but not I'm getting nearly everything I want. I think it's because I now have over 500 friends on Goodreads? I'm not sure. I need another ARC challenge. Too many books, such a problem.


message 1225: by Tati (new)

Tati I need another ARC challenge as well... I' m not requesting that much, though. What did you get lately?

You used to be able to but you can't any more. I emailed and asked after I sent in a review saying that the book had been archived before i downloaded it, and then they unarchived it. I got a right rude email back from some bloke at netgalley telling me that i should be certain my review is complete before sending it in, and said that as i was a 'first time offender' if i sent him the review he'd submit it for me. believe me, i did not email him back. what an arse.

Amanda  (manka23) | 2337 comments Yesterday's Kin by Nancy Kress The Lazarus Curse by Tessa Harris The Legend of Sheba Rise of a Queen by Tosca Lee The Good Girl by Mary Kubica Frozen (Heart of Dread, #1) by Melissa de la Cruz The Diamond Thief by Sharon Gosling How to Ruin a Queen Marie Antoinette and the Diamond Necklace Affair by Jonathan Beckman

And I just got these hard copies in the mail from the reviewing site I work for. The Broken (The Apostles, #1) by Shelley Coriell Irresistible Force (K-9 Rescue, #1) by D.D. Ayres All of You (Between Breaths, #1) by Christina Lee Closed Doors by Lisa O'Donnell Breathe Into Me by Sara Fawkes


message 1228: by Amanda (new)

Amanda  (manka23) | 2337 comments I got Queen of Someday (Stolen Empire, #1) by Sherry D. Ficklin and tore right through it. I highly suggest reading it.

Sarah Elizabeth (bookworm_sarah) | 90956 comments Mod
That's a lot of books!


message 1230: by Tati (new)

Tati I have Frozen as well. I was approved for The Diamond Thief, but as it wasn't available on Kindle format, I told them I would not review it


message 1231: by Tati (new)

Tati Sarah, I have some 25 ARCs *sobs*


message 1232: by Sarah Elizabeth (new)

Sarah Elizabeth (bookworm_sarah) | 90956 comments Mod
What will that take you? about a month? i got really depressed when i realised i had enough books for 4 months worth of reading. i'm kinda glad to be through mine now.


message 1233: by Tati (new)

Tati A month and a half, if I read only ARCs. Then again, there are several I DNF, which reduces the time it takes me to get through them.


message 1234: by Amanda (new)

Amanda  (manka23) | 2337 comments Ah, that sucks. Curiosity Quills Press never sends out kindle copies via netgalley, but if you sign up for their mailing list they'll send you anything they publish to review if you ask for it (in .mobi format). So if I want one of their books from the mailing list I also try and get it from netgalley to get my feedback ratio up....

Did that make any sense?

If you want to sign up for their mailing list you can do it here: http://curiosityquills.com/blogger-re...
I got a few really good books here.

I should probably stop giving you ways to feed your ARC addiction..


message 1235: by Katie (new)

Katie Thanks Sarah. And that was dumb of him - mistakes happen sometimes and an edit option really would be useful. No reason to be rude about it!

@Heather - wow that's ridiculous! Have you downloaded it before it's declined again?

Tati The Book Of Life (the sequel to A Discovery of Witches and Shadow of Night, by Deborah Harkness) is on NetGalley, UK only though:

Heather | 10157 comments When I went to download it I couldn't because it said I was declined


message 1250: by Irene (new)

Irene (raenne) | 4856 comments Is it just me, or are they really slow at the moment? I requested six or so, and they haven't responded yet. Not the same publisher..
