@Jennifer Same! I haven't gotten either approved or declined for their last galley drop and I always get approved within 24 hours (or so). I thought it was just me!

@Sarah - thank you!@Irena - Maybe..? I hope it clears up soon, if so.
It has taken a while for a few on my end as well. It may depend on the publisher.
We are talking about Harper Collins who in the past have always approved/declined within 1-2 days. But I have heard nothing re: the January 29th set of e-books. So this is highly unusual.
What does read now mean? Are their rules?

Requested Warrior Witch! I have a mighty need for it!
Mod
I want to request Warrior Witch but have only 63% rating so I doubt I'll get approved. I'll wait until tomorrow to request though because I plan to review two books then and maybe I'll get more chance even though I'm not sure...
Just waiting on Warrior Witch for the Triple Crown LOL

I got ARCs for the first two books in the series, it's only fair I get this one, right?

I hate it when the ARCs are unreadable due to formatting!
Tati wrote: "I hate it when the ARCs are unreadable due to formatting!"Ohh, I hate that too. I've hear there's a way to make them more readable, but not sure if that works on Kindle...
Anyway, why do publishers send those kind of ARCs, I'll never understand...
Can I ask you what particular ARC are you talking about?
It's fine on Digital Editions, but not on Kindle

ohhh, too bad. I know that one is one of the most aniticipating books of the year and you were looking forward to read it...
Mod
was like that recently too. really annoying!
I knooooow! I've requested it, and now I keep maniacally checking if they have already replied to my request
Tati wrote: "I knooooow! I've requested it, and now I keep maniacally checking if they have already replied to my request"Fingers crossed you get it!
I just joined netgalley and I requested too many random books in a rush. I'm pretty sure I made a mistake- there are 7 books sitting on my shelf and I've been able to get through only one of them so my rating percent is really low (14%) this is so annoying if I keep going like this there is no way I'm gonna get approved for something good:(
Tati wrote: "I got it!! BR?"Yay! Sarah and I are reading it this sunday. We'll still discuss with you if you can't join until later though. :)

To be honest I still have 3 books on my shelf that are from that accidental rushed requesting on my first day. After I while I was able to pull my ratio up to over 80% so you'll be fine! :)
I never got to 80% but still get approved for good books. I remenber that Penguin Teen aproved me for Finding Audrey when I was sth like 52% so don't worry!
Just signed up to Edelweiss, but I must admit I'm finding it a little confusing. Any tips?

http://edelweiss.abovethetreeline.com/
Then click on review copies. It will show what is new. You can then click on "request digital RC (the blue button).
I find it super easy once you get used to it.
I remember when I first decided to join one of these ARC websites (I can't think of a better term) I only wanted to join either Netgalley or Edelweiss, not both, so I looked at both and immediately dismissed Edelweiss because I couldn't understand how it worked haha.
I adore Edelweiss. Once you get used to, it's really easy to use. Promise! But yeah, it's set out weirdly at first and that turn off a lot of people.
I really don't get why people find edelweiss difficult. It is the simplest thing once you try it once. Plus you can actually say why you want to read a book. Much better in that respect than netgalley. I much prefer edelweiss. They have way more books that i want. And i get accepted for way more there.
