August Review-Copy Clean-Up Challenge ☺ - Sign up and Questions
Mod
I am actually down to only 2 review copies now!
I'll try this out, I've got quite a few books to read from netgalley
I have two physical copies and 2-3 netgalleys. Should be able to finish them all if I want to. I'm definitely in!
Mod
Good luck with those review piles everybody! It can be done!
...so I went to netgalley to check how many books I had on there. Guess how that ended... :| Lol
Mod
I don't get approved either, it was read now books
I still have 12 books to read and review so count me in!
I'm really curious how many books everyone else has on Netgalley. I want to know how addicted I am by comparison lol. Right now I'm at my best ratio ever but I have a million on request so I might get swarmed soon or more likely, get a plethora of rejection emails.
Mod
I have this strange thing going on where it says I got approved 2 times with 3 feedback and my Feedback to Approval Ratio is 60% @.@
Mod
0 invitations, 49 approved and 36 feedback. That gives me a ratio of 73,5%. I have 6 books to review. I didn't get my review in in time, so I'll never get a 100% ratio :(
Mod
The books don't appear anywhere, so i can't send in reviews
My ratio is 43.8.2 Invitations
62 Approved
28 Feedback
The crazy thing is that. I most likely will not be able to get to these in a while, because I have other review copies from authors/ publishers.
It is addicting.
I tried to get a book, but It won't go on my device even though I did everything I was supposed to do.
Mod
have they been archived?
I have 1 invitation (turned down), 98 approved and 63 feedback. I will never be able to get a 100% ratio because of a stupid mistake I made...I have around 20 ARCs right now. If I can get 10 read in August, I'll be happy.
Sarah - That are more than a year, so I think they have, but they aren't on my shelves
My review pile is actually looking good at the moment! I think I only have
to read.Not sure how long that will last though!
Irene, if you click the arrow, next to where you profile picture is, it will give you a list three of options (Activity, Profile, and Log Out)
Choose activity. Then click the arrow on the page above the numbers and select archived, this should show you all the books you have ever requested and you can find the books for which you still need to send in feedback.

I think that helped, thank you! :D

@Megan - Thanks so much! I've send in my reviews now!So now my netgalley looks like this:
0 invites, 50 approved, 43 feedback, which gives me a ratio of 86%.
I'll join :) I have quite a few on my list that are released in September, so I have to get to them!
This is the best idea ever. I am so in! I have sooo many review copies I still need to read. :)
Mod
I have copies of books that may be published already from the publisher/author to read and review for them, does it matter if they're already released
Mod
I'll sign up then :) I mightn't get a lot done but I have to start somewhere

This is a reading challenge that will run from August 1st to August 31st. Results will be announced on September 1st 2014.
Please note - this is not the main group challenge for August, this is a challenge for those people who are struggling with those review piles! There will be a seperate challenge running for everyone else so not to worry!
This challenge is simple, and has one aim - get those review copies read! This obviously means that you will have to have review copies to take part in this challenge - either from Netgalley, Edelweiss, Publisher, Author, ARR programme etc.
Normal challenge guidlines and rules apply.
points:
1 point for each book read and reviewed
1 point for a buddy read (feel free to use our Wanted: Buddy Reads ARC thread if you need to - https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/... )
Equaliser points (applied at the end) - 5 additional points for every 1000 pages read.
Note:
*Books need to either be review copies, or I will also allow books which are first/second in a series before a review copy that you need to read, so for example - If you had
* Books must be at least 100 pages in length
* Books must be read between August 1st and August 31st (inclusively)
*You can find our regular challenge rules here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
There will be two random winners drawn at the end of the challenge, with every point you earn gaining you one entry in the draw. Each winner will be able to choose one ebook each from the prize list ☺
Good luck Everybody! Let's get those review piles beaten into submission ☺
