Heather | 10157 comments Yeah that makes sense did you like the rest of the series?


message 1052: by Tati (new)

Tati I did! And I was really excited for this one, and couldn't believe it when I got approved for it, but it just didn't really work for me...


message 1053: by Heather (new)

Heather | 10157 comments Understandable and I just saw the comment!


message 1054: by Dana (new)

Dana | 887 comments I swear the higher my ratio gets the worst my approval is. I smell a conspiracy!


message 1055: by Heather (new)

Heather | 10157 comments Really Dana?


message 1056: by Tati (new)

Tati I am finding the opposite... I feel that the higher my ratio, I get approved for 'bigger' titles (Heir of Fire, Lies We Tell Ourselves, Killer Instinct etc)


message 1057: by Heather (new)

Heather | 10157 comments That comment was terrible... I really want to read that series now


message 1058: by Marga (new)

Marga  (margaraawr) | 1550 comments Aww I like to read Killer Instinct but I got declined. My ratio is so down at the moment.

Is it possible to lend ARCs? lol

Oh totally! :/ They practically told us we wouldn't get accepted for any more requests 'til we sent this feedback in!"


Yep. I got it too! It's like they don't realise there are other places that give you books to and they need reading!


message 1060: by Kate (new)

Kate (kaitlins16) I got the Netgalley reminder as well. I wish I could tell them, "I know that I have a lot of feedback to send. I'm working on it." I have about five more that I'll be reading and sending feedback for this month. I have not forgotten my reviews.


message 1061: by Heather (new)

Heather | 10157 comments I haven't gotten it yet

How often do they expect you to submit a review I wonder? And do you think they emailed everyone whose percentage was under 80%?


message 1063: by Sarah Elizabeth (new)

Sarah Elizabeth (bookworm_sarah) | 90928 comments Mod
I hadn't even noticed Killer Image was on there!


message 1064: by Heather (new)

Heather | 10157 comments Sarah my percentage right now is 7.4 and they didn't send it to me hmmmm


message 1065: by Sarah Elizabeth (new)

Sarah Elizabeth (bookworm_sarah) | 90928 comments Mod
That's odd. I wonder who they decided to send it to?


message 1066: by Heather (new)

Heather | 10157 comments im not sure


message 1067: by Tati (new)

Tati Maybe the ones that got the e-mail were sending feedback more often?


message 1068: by Sarah Elizabeth (new)

Sarah Elizabeth (bookworm_sarah) | 90928 comments Mod
huh! perhaps they've given up on people with really low percentages! (ha ha!)


message 1069: by Heather (new)

Heather | 10157 comments Maybe who knows! Although I just started getting approved not too long ago!


message 1070: by Kate (new)

Kate (kaitlins16) Heather, are you signed up for the Netgalley Wellness Challenge? If not, I think that's why you didn't get it.


message 1071: by Tati (new)

Tati I'm not signed up for that challenge, and I still got it... So weird...


message 1072: by Leigh (new)

Leigh (leighsalv) I'm not signed up for the challenge and got it, too.


message 1073: by Sarah Elizabeth (new)

Sarah Elizabeth (bookworm_sarah) | 90928 comments Mod
Looks like the people at Netgalley just have PMT today.


message 1074: by Heather (new)

Heather | 10157 comments No I am not signed up for that challenge


message 1075: by Abi (new)

Abi (abi_gr) | 27659 comments That email sounds annoying! I didn't get it, but I only have one book that I haven't reviewed on there.


message 1076: by Heather (new)

Heather | 10157 comments lol Abbie we better watch out!


message 1077: by Dana (new)

Dana | 887 comments Yeah I don't know, maybe I've just been requesting stuff after they've reached their limit or something. My ratio right now is 84% and my most approvals came at the 60% ratio. Guess its just a weird coincidence.


message 1078: by rachel, x (new)

rachel, x (typedtruths) | 8401 comments @Tatiana They are perfect dates. I'll start Tease by Amanda Maciel tonight then. :)

@Heather My ratio isn't too bad. Its at 68.6%.


message 1079: by Emily (new)

Emily - Reads Must My ratio was at 40% and going up then I go approved for loads at once and now I'm back down to 30% :S


message 1080: by Rachmi (new)

Rachmi  | 4882 comments Come Back to Me by Mila Gray , One, Two, Three by Elodie Nowodazkij anyone?


message 1081: by Rachmi (new)

Rachmi  | 4882 comments I got it too when my ratio was around 70%, I think, three days ago. After that I didn't request anything but then I can't help not to request 5 books yesterday and got 3 approvals while I only sent 1 feedback yesterday.


message 1082: by Emily (new)

Emily - Reads Must who knows how it works. I think it's just up to the publishers!

Good to know you like it, Sarah. Anyway can I use it for Wedding challenge? I still don't have a book for #12.

I think it can be counted as BR. I remember I once read a book days ahead from my BR partner and was still count as BR. We have to ask, Sarah, though :)

rachel, x (typedtruths) | 8401 comments @Rachmi My request for One, Two, Three by Elodie Nowodazkij is pending. I'll let you know if I get approved or not as soon as I get the email. :)

Thanks Sarah! Another question, though :D Can I use Come Back to Me for #5 of Wedding challenge? I think the girl on the cover is wearing a ring. If I can use it for #5, I'll use One Two Three for #12 :)

Hope you get the approval soon. I think I got it only a day after I requested it.

Emily - Reads Must @Sarah I can't read our other BR this month as I just got an order through from work... reading has to go on hold for a little while. Sorry

Lisa Orchard | 7 comments Hello! I have a new release coming out in November. It's the first Book in the Starlight Chronicles and it's titled "Gideon Lee." I'd love to set up a reading buddy system. Books 2 and 3 are scheduled for release in December and January. The blurb is below, is anyone interested?


Seventeen-year-old Lark Singer only has two things going for her, her music and her best friend Bean. While entering a competition she hopes will launch their music career, Lark searches for answers that will make her whole. Her quest reveals some secrets that those around her would rather keep hidden. As the competition looms closer, Lark discovers not only who she really is, but also who her real friends are. Then tragedy threatens everything she has worked so hard to accomplish. Can she pick up the pieces and move on?
