I get confused. If the book comes with a map then I can pretty much guarantee I'm not going to like it.

[Tati]

I never, ever look at the map

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I don't either. but the really high fantasy books all come with them. it's like a little flag at the front of the book 'You're not going to understand me Sarah!'

[Tati]

Well, historical fiction also comes with maps, and some of them are not familiar at all to me. For instance, the historical fictions set in post-Roman Empire Britain, with names like Dumnonia, Powys and whatnot.

Granted, you can compare them to real maps, but the names are very different

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Oh dear me, I wouldn't have a clue. I have a big black hole in my brain when it comes to both history and geography, I don't get it at all.

[Irene]

You and me both Sarah, lol

[Tati]

I love History and Geography, but map reading is my weakest point. Really, I suck at it, navigating a new place is a nightmare for me

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I'm awful at giving directions when someone else is driving, I know what I mean, but because I get my left and right mixed up, I'm useless. It usually disolves into 'go that way!', 'no! that way!'

[rachel, x]

Oh that's a shame guys! I personally adore YA high fantasy. I loved the Graceling series but haven't given any adult ones a try yet. :)

I got a copy of ! I don't know if I am happy about that or not. I need to get a copy of the fifth book and then I can continue the series. I don't know why I keep requesting sequels when I still need to read the previous book. Its clogging up my need to read list!

[Rachmi]

How come my approval on NetGalley is only 15 books while I'm sure I get more than 15? And my declined is 63 books! It doesn't look good at all!

Yeah, mine says I've only been approved of 14 and I know its more...

[Tati]

Don't look at your shelf, look at your profile.

[rachel, x]

Oh, it says 71. That's more like it! :) Thanks Tatiana! :)

Thanks Tati! It looks getter now since I got more approved than declined :D

[Rachmi]

ugh I mean better, not getter :D

[Sarah Elizabeth]

If you look at approvals under activity, it only shows you books that haven't been archived. You have to add together approved and archived, and it should add up to the number on your profile ☺

I do that too. Got to read the whole study series. I think Margarita had it worst though, she got approved for one last year that was like 11th in a series!

[Irene]

11! What book/series was that? Imagine getting approved for a new Pretty Little Liars book... :o

Woah, 11 books would take so long! I just do it all the time. I got and don't have the previous books. I don't have many of the previous book in the series. :(

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I can't quite remember, it was an urban fantasy series... it will come to me in a minute. It might have been ?

Oh I remember that one! :)

[Jennifer]

I don't request books in a series unless I have already read or have the previous book(s). Because what if I don't like the first book. Then i'm stuck reading a sequel I don't want to read.

As for the Royal Wedding/Meg Cabot book. This is the first adult book in the series (and they are marketing it as such). So I'm guessing it will be quite different from the rest of the series. I'm reading it without having read the previous books.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I try to read the first book before requesting, but sometimes I just don't get chance. I'm reading at the moment which is pretty pants.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

ha ha! This conversation just reminded me, I got a review request for this a few weeks ago - , 40th in the series. I did not accept it!

[Dana]

We could be twins lol, i do that all the time too and then regret it. even if its a good book its so much pressure to catch up on a series, especially a long one.but i believe in you! speed read for the win :)

[Irene]

Ahaha Sarah :P I accidentally got The Trouble With Flirting, but it's just book two. I recently read 0.5 and liked it so that's nice.

I was seriously glad I didn't request before reading , because I really wouldn't have wanted to read that one!

[Jennifer]

I bet that each book features a separate case. I bet you could probably read this book without having read the others.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Possibly, I don't like doing that though.

I quite like this series, actually. But I don't have any idea that it's already book 40! I read it up to book 12 2 years ago, I think. And then I got bored. It can be read as a standalone but the main characters, Eve and Roarke's life continues in each book.

[rachel, x]

@Jennifer I only don't like requesting sequels because I then have to find the other books in the series. I always try to finish my series though - not matter how long it takes me - so that isn't a bother for me. Even if I didn't like the first book, I'll want to know what happens next and would need to sequel regardless.

@Sarah There is no way I would accept a 40th book! How long would that take to catch up? How could anyone want to read that many books about one couple!?

@Dana Aha! I think I need that luck! There is a bit of pressure to read the rest of the series asap but I have a lot of other books to read too so I hope they won't mind the late review. I did write in my request that I was only up to the 5th book.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Got approved for ☺

[Tati]

I got turned down...

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Oh no ☹

[onceuponatimeareview]

I can wait till it comes out. I'm not bothering requesting it.

[Jackie]

I am only reading the "read now "books until my ratio goes up.

Same here.

Do you guys have any suggestions when it's not too early to "request" for something?

I mean I don't really want to request for a book yet until I have finished 10 read now books.

Yup! The 11th book in that series. I ended liking some of them so I guess it's all good. :)

I don't think Abbie requested it. I'm up for a buddy read if you want to read it together though ☺

I'd say, if you're requesting from a small publisher, or an indie author, then read a few 'read now' books (4 or 5 maybe?) and then request. If you're requesting from a large publisher like penguin or random house or something like that, then I'd wait a bit longer. They tend to be much harder to get approvals from, and it gets a bit depressing if you get loads of rejections ☹

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I think this one might be - https://www.netgalley.com/catalog/sho... this is the UK and ANZ version so that should be australia right?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

No, signing up for an account is free, and requesting is free too. It's usually best to read and review a couple of 'read now' titles first (titles you don't need to be approved for you can just download them), to show publishers that you're serious about reading and reviewing and will hold up your side of the deal ☺

[Sarah Elizabeth]

If you go to the books pages, once you've clicked on 'read now' it should come up with two buttons 'send to kindle' and 'download'. click download to download to your ipad/computer, or you'll need a kindle email to send it to yur kindle ☺

[Sarah Elizabeth]

It should look something like this -



Have you verified your email address? You might have to go to your email account, and look for a welcome email from netgalley ☺

[Tayla]

I have a book approved on edelweiss and I cant figure it out. help?

[Marga]

Click the link on the email, it should go to the book you got approved of. Then there's a "download DRC" or something like that on the right side of the page.
