Thanks Sharon :)


message 1007: by Andrea (new)

Andrea | 2163 comments On Thursday I requested a book, not realising it was being archived that very same day. I was approved in the evening (UK publisher) and went to grab the book within about half an hour of receiving the email. It was already gone, but appears in my NG stats.

Do you reckon I should just take it as a loss, or is it worth contacting the publisher? I'm still interested in reading it.

Contact the publisher but through NetGalley Andrea. I had the same thing happen once and they opened it again for 24 hours so I could get it. Good luck!


message 1009: by Kylie H (new)

Kylie H | 1493 comments I had a book 'expire' for the first time on NG. It was one that wasn't available in Kindle format (The Hush), so I had downloaded it to my NG app. At first I was disappointed, but when I clicked on it, I was asked if I would like to ask for an extension. Before I had a chance to respond I was given another 20 days to complete reading it! So glad I did, as I am nearly finished it and finding it hard to put down.

Wow that's different Kylie! And so glad you're reading it as I loved it. Up there in my top reads for this year :)

I've had that happen too and the publisher has given me an extension to download it from Netgalley, so it's definitely worth asking.

I've also had one publisher not reply to my request to access the book, so I wrote in the feedback that the book was approved after it was archived and that was counted as feedback in my stats.

I am glad you got the extension it is a great book. I look forward to hearing what you thought of it.

I did wonder about that - the feedback link is active, so I could certainly do that if they won’t let me have it. I’ll contact them over the weekend, ready for Monday.

Andrea | 2163 comments Thanks Marianne, this title sounds good. I wonder if that’s the author’s real name? Background in editing…

Should I even set myself up for disappointment or give myself an early Christmas present and just not go there? 😂

PattyMacDotComma | 3297 comments You can always ask your families to give you book vouchers or credit for Christmas! But I'm asking anyway. Gotta be in it to win it!
