Amanda  (manka23) | 2337 comments Robin how many books have you been approved of on Netgalley? I have gotten approved of 100 and gotten 2 invitations... and sent feedback for 21... So my feedback ratio sucks. I'd say I get denied one out of five times. I have a serious requesting problem..

rachel, x (typedtruths) | 8401 comments @Kaitlin Thanks!! :D

@Robin I am so glad that other people do that too! As soon as my ratio gets over 80% (on Netgalley) I get crazy and request like everything! Ahaha! :)

I am sure you'll get approved soon. It took a few days for me to. What have you requested so far?? :) And thanks again!! :)

Omg I'm the same way. I request so much that I'm backed up on e-arcs. I think I need to do a two month NetGalley no request or something where I read 10 to 15 e-arcs before requesting a new one. It's all just so hard! Lol

If you mean how to find the YA titles:

If you click "Review copies" at the top, it should come up with "refine by" (This is under the "View titles i may download/request" thing) click "age" then choose Young adult. :)

Thanks! I'm getting a little excited since I am new and haven't even been denied anything yet. I doubt I'll get Atlantia by Ally Condie The Young Elites (The Young Elites, #1) by Marie Lu though, which are the ones I really want!


message 1410: by Irene (new)

Irene (raenne) | 4856 comments Thanks Abbie! :)

Rachel - I didn't get The Young Elites (The Young Elites, #1) by Marie Lu which is one of the books I'm most exited about this year :/ I really want Falls the Shadow by Stefanie Gaither too, so I'll go request it right now! :D


message 1411: by rachel, x (new)

rachel, x (typedtruths) | 8401 comments @Irene I doubt I'll get The Young Elites (The Young Elites, #1) by Marie Lu . Its so popular and I am not a popular blogger so I haven't got my hopes up. Best of luck! If I can get it I am sure you can. :)

Thanks :) Yeah, neither am I. In Denmark, I'm good, but English, not so much ahaha :D Yeah, I just requested it and fingers crossed I'll get it!

Abi (abi_gr) | 27659 comments Locked by Parker Witter UK only: https://www.netgalley.com/catalog/sho...

By the looks of it, it's only a short story.


message 1414: by Irene (new)

Irene (raenne) | 4856 comments Haha, I requested Charlotte's Web recently from Netgalley - I hadn't seen that it was just the first chapter. Ooops! What a surprise when I wanted to read it yesterday :P


message 1415: by Abi (new)

Abi (abi_gr) | 27659 comments They had Midnight Crossroad (Midnight, Texas, #1) by Charlaine Harris on there a few months back, and it turned out to only be the first 4 chapters. They didn't say that anywhere on the page though. Was so annoyed!

Well, at least it said that it was only a first chapter sampler, I just didn't notice. It's worse when it's not even there , so I get why you got annoyed!! :)

I have around 35 approved and 1 invitation. Also, I have a publisher the instantly approves me for any book I request from them.


message 1418: by Amanda (new)

Amanda  (manka23) | 2337 comments I got an auto-approval... It's a gift and a curse. I always get approved of everything by Egmont USA, Kensington and Harlequin too. I need to swear off searching Netgalley.


These Violent Delights (Robin) | 779 comments I wish Harlequin would approve me a lot more than they already do.. Gallery books always approve me.

Jenn Sacrifice (Elemental, #5) by Brigid Kemmerer is on NetGalley!

So annoying that the cover doesn't match the rest of the series!


message 1422: by Kate (new)

Kate (kaitlins16) Every Breath by Ellie Marney (US/CAN) https://www.netgalley.com/catalog/sho...

You may be more familiar with this cover: Every Breath (Every #1) by Ellie Marney

I requested this one last night and got approved this morning!


message 1423: by Kate (new)

Kate (kaitlins16) Also, Trial by Fire (The Worldwalker Trilogy, #1) by Josephine Angelini is up for UK reviewers. https://www.netgalley.com/catalog/sho...

Can this be read as a stand-alone?

Jenn Jenna wrote: "Sacrifice (Elemental, #5) by Brigid Kemmerer is on NetGalley!"

Agreed. I don't know why the change up of design.

Even though each book focuses on a different brother, it would probably be best to read in order. It would be pretty confusing otherwise, IMO. Especially since this book /hopefully/ brings conclusions to all their stories.

*crosses fingers that I get approved*


message 1427: by Dana (new)

Dana | 887 comments Cool, I guess I need to get on this then.


message 1428: by Sarah Elizabeth (new)

Sarah Elizabeth (bookworm_sarah) | 90956 comments Mod
I agree, there will be major spoilers for the previous books if you read them out of order. I really want to read it too!

I'll keep my fingers crossed for the both of us then! :)

You're more likely to get them the longer you've been a netgalley member, and the higher your ratio is ☺


message 1435: by Tati (new)

Tati Now I've got my eye on an auto-approval from Harper Collins LOL

I'd like to get an auto approval from Disney Hyperion, Entangled and Harper Collins. Though Harper Collins doesn't seem to offer a lot of books on NetGalley...


message 1445: by rachel, x (new)

rachel, x (typedtruths) | 8401 comments That's over a year so maybe I just need to wait. I have only been on there for 8 months. :)

HarperCollins stoped doing the YA books on netgalley about a year ago. it looks like they've switched to edelweiss.


message 1447: by Tati (new)

Tati Dang it!

Harper Collins, come baaaaaaaack! LOL


message 1448: by Ayah (new)

Ayah (dystopiancitzn) how do you get auto approvals?


message 1449: by Sarah Elizabeth (new)

Sarah Elizabeth (bookworm_sarah) | 90956 comments Mod
You get them when a publisher decides that you're reliable enough to be given them, there's no hard and fast rules as to how to get them.


message 1450: by Ayah (new)

Ayah (dystopiancitzn) @Sarah Thanks :)
