When are you planning to read it? I may join you if the date would be okay with me, I haven't downloaded it yet. :)
@Melek I am so busy at the moment so I will try and squeeze it whenever you are free. Let me know. :)
Rachel wrote: "@Melek I am so busy at the moment so I will try and squeeze it whenever you are free. Let me know. :)"Well, I will probably be busy as hell until the 23rd, after that I'm almost free, any time after 23rd would be fine. :)
@Melek How about the 28th then? :)

@Melek I'll make us a thread then. Brb.
The thread: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...Feel free to join us everyone! Its read now on Netgalley. :)
I got denied
. "They have exceeded their quota for free books". I don't know why they wouldn't just take it down then! :)

Yay :) I'll download it once I'm able to :)
About Anlantia, it's weird that they've done that. I can understand not taking it down or not making it archived, but they could at least be considerate and write a note or something on the page. :/

I don't mind being denied, I understand that I am not the most popular blogger, but I am a little frustrated that they would still have it available for requests when they emailed me saying they don't have any review copies!

It's probably so that their reviewers who are auto-apprved can still download them. Other publishers are worse though. some never say yes or no!
Sarah wrote: "I think most of their books must be US only or something. I've given up requesting them though. it's a waste of time. they never approve me on netgalley either."The first book I was ever approved of was Penguin though!

That makes sense but its still a little frustrating! I would be so annoyed if I never got an answer! Even a decline would be better.

Why don't they bother giving and answer at least?"
Not a clue.

Thank you! :D
I was just coming here to squeal about Red Rising to everyone, looks like I was beat to it lol.
Mod
Yeah, I didn't like it either... In fact, I couldn't even make myself finish it
Why was that, both of you? I'm on chapter 13 and I like it so far, though there are some gaps here and there.

It seemed like the book completely changed from around the 30% mark, and after that I just hated it.

Huh. I'm more into political parts of dystopias, so maybe that is why I like the way it turned out to be. Still, I agree that the best part was that, I'm planning to read that part again and again after finishing the whole thing. I even have a freaking theme for that part.
I love it when they have that political side as well.I don't really remember why, but this just wasn't for me, I remember being extremely annoyed while reading.
It's back and forth with me and Netgalley. I read two-three books, and then I'll get approved for two-three books. So I'm constantly at 12-14 these days :P
I'm like that as well, Irene. At least I've finally managed to get my ratios in the 70% range
Yay, that's good! :-) I was at 83 yesterday, but today I got two new ones, so noW I don't know
omg lol I read that as you have 83 books currently, I was like :O
im sure its already been posted but ive just got the 100 and the 100 day 21 on 'read now' on netgalley :) I was impressed ive only just signed up I know i wont get accepted for any requests yet

I have only been using Netgalley for a couple months and was wondering if you get to keep the ebooks you are approved for? I was looking at my kindle and noticed I still have ebooks that have been archived. I thought they were removed from your kindle after 55 days after being downloaded.
On Netgalley you own the books that you are approved for. Just make sure to download it before it is Archived.
After being archived for a while, you won't be able to read it . Even if you have already downloaded it.
Weird, I still have access to all my books 6+ months later. The only ones that expire are comics because I read them through adobe.
It depends on what device you have. I've heard they expire off Nooks, but they stay on Kindles.
What happens if you download a "read now" books that has a country code (and you're not in that country)? :(
The new font on Netgalley is tripping me out! I really don't like it.

I have ones that are about six moths old and they are still on my device. I have a Kindle Fire.

Thanks. I'm glad that I will be able to keep them : )
