I loved Dovetail Dale. I immediately bought another of hers when I'd finished. She was a new author to me.

Thanks Brenda. I’m so pleased you were also approved for them. I really didn’t think I would’ve be been seeing as I’m so far behind with the ones I already have.

It doesn't seem to matter to them does it. I've been declined by Hachette before so was surprised (pleasantly!) lol

Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 9976 comments In the mail today, a book I reserved at the library before they shut down: A Conspiracy of Bones. Apparently, when the reserves come in, they are posting them to the customers, but the reserve function has been turned off so you can't reserve any more.

Oh you lucky girls and congratulations on getting auto approval Sharon. Hachette always decline me even though I’ve submitted nearly 370 reviews on Netgalley and am on 98%. I still try but was declined for Tiny White Lies today. Maybe they don’t like my reviews...who knows! Although I don’t have a blog. At least I would have got a timely review out.
Sigh......can’t even reserve it from the library yet.

It's sad and annoying Marlin. If you only knew why!! I had the same with them and was very shocked when I was finally approved. All I can suggest is to keep trying :)
