Wow! I didn't even realise it was on netgalley! Hope you enjoy it ☺

What would you call a person who downloaded 13 ReadNow books from NetGalley when she already had 8 to read and review? When she had classes and exams to study for, that is. I'm experiencing a bookworm's version of the buyer's remorse.

[Tayla]

Congrats Tati!

I'm sorry, but... haha! :D That sounds familiar ;)

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Very familiar. I have 37 on my netgalley shelf.

If I remember correctly, that's pretty good for you :)

do they have to be done by the archived date?

No, When they're archived it just means you cant download them anymore.

Hey, congrats!

[onceuponatimeareview]

I know I wasn't thinking I would because of it being on Edelweiss

[Tayla]

@abbie ohhhhhh so they dont have to be done before a certain time?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

New on Edelweiss!!!!!

[Dory]

Dumplin' ! I really wanna read that book. I forgot what its about, but that name + Julie Murphy = Awesomeness.

I already have The Selection #2, but I requested it anyway, since I can always use it for my feedback ratio :P

[Elizabeth Emily]

Are there any more of the selection books on netgalley?

[Abi]

Elizabeth wrote: "Are there any more of the selection books on netgalley?"

Yep, book one - https://www.netgalley.com/catalog/sho... :)

[Sarah Elizabeth]

only the selection and the elite at the moment.

[Tati]

is on NetGalley!

Really hope I get it!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Good luck!

Sarah, could you guide me on how to post my feedback to NG? Do I post the link to the blog post and say when it will be live or should I also post the review? And then what else do I have to do? Thanks.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I usually post the actual review in the box that says 'review this book', then for the link, I put blog-date, and the link is the permalink for the review which will only be useable from the date the review will go up.

then in the 'Thoughts for the publisher?' notes, bit, I once again say that the review will go up on the blog on x-date, and the permalink. then leave a link to the review on goodreads as well, and if I've already posted the review to amazon I'll put the link to that in there too.

Does that help?

[Jackie]

Yes. Do you have to put star ratings or can they just be in your review?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

There's a little option below the cover for doing the star ratings, I usually fill it in the same as on goodreads, but you don't have to if you don't want to ☺

[Jackie]

Thank you

[Dory]

You can also send feedback from the title page, archived or not.
I include the same rating as i put on GR, but I state if its a half rating in review.
Thoughts for the publisher: I ask questions, like will there be a sequel? Or I state if i had problems with the galley, e.g. font too small or got approved the day before archive date. Or complimenting style of book.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Do you ever get a reply to your questions?

[Dory]

TBH, I dont. I wish I did.
Occasionally I email them directly my questions, then i get answers. But I only do this when they are pending.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I never seem to get answers to questions either. Sometimes you wonder if anybody actually reads what you write when you submit a review on netgalley.

[Dory]

I question that too.
Maybe they prioritize what gets read or not. IDK.

[Dana]

I tend to comment in the notes for the publisher area when I cant finish a book due to format issues. They usually get back to me eventually when they have fixed the issue, and it is available to re-download.

[Tati]

Is it me or they're really slow to approve books on NetGalley?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Who? Harper Collins? I don't know because I have an auto approval ☺

[Tati]

I do, too, but Entangled and Disney are taking forever

[Tati]

I mean, I have request pending since February (which I've given up on, but I don't think pending requests can be deleted by the user). And I'm waiting also on The Invasion of the Tearling, which I requested on April 17

[Sarah Elizabeth]

It really annoys me that you can't withdraw a request!

I think I have some that I've had for ages, I've got one for disney that I requested february 25th, one for All Night Reads which has been pending since decemeber 2014, and 4 more requested in march.

[Tati]

I sent an e-mail to NetGalley support about the requests that are over 2 weeks old, let's see if anything happens

[Sarah Elizabeth]

hmm, i hope something will but I wouldn't bet on it being anything good. the last time i contacted them they were pretty rude to me.

[Dana]

what happened sarah?

[Jennifer]

I have had requests way older than 2 weeks. Personally for 2 weeks I would not contact them. I have contacted netgalley a few times when it was over a month. They were very nice and said that they would contact the publisher.

I have a bunch on edelweiss that are even older than a month. But when I contacted them they said it is not their policy to push the publishers to reply. I don't feel like it is pushing them if the requests are 2 months old. They must have forgotten about them. I would rather get denied then have so many pending requests.

[Tati]

The ones I contacted them about were two months old, and on their support section, they say to contact them after two weeks without a word from the publisher.

I got a nice reply, saying they would contact the publisher and, at this point, I'm like Jennifer, I don't really care if they're approved or not, I just don't want them pending.

I send feedback to a publisher, saying that the book had been archived, so I wasn't able to read and review. Then I noticed two weeks later that the book was available to download again, so I downloaded it, read it and wrote the review. At that point you weren't able to change your review on netgalley though, so Icouldn't submit the review, because I'd already sent feeback saying 'this book is archived'.

So, I figured I'd email netgalley and ask if there was anything I/they could do about it, and got a very rude email back saying that I should not have submitted feedback until I'd read the book - never mind if it had been archived and then unarchived - and that I could email them the review, and they would send it to the publisher for me, but it would count as a strike against me, and that if I did it a second time they would not be so forgiving. Needless to say I didn't reply, and I have no intentions of emailing them ever again!
