exactly. ADE was really annoying in the beginning, but I'm glad I figured it out soon.

Tytti (tyttih) | 178 comments Ooh! There's The Last Graduate on Netgalley! It was a Wish For for me and I don't think I'll be approved but I've read the first book so I thought I'd take a chance.

I'm glad it's working because I'm really enjoying my read. And it's due soon. So.

I've been declined 7. And then one got archived before I could read it. And two I couldn't read because they were only kindle. SO I'm with you *cries together*

LyraFirefly | 1210 comments I've been declined for 1, but I've only gotten responses from 4 requests so 😶

don't worry, the strategy I've worked out is that I'm anyway not going to get most of the good popular stuff, so find the hidden gems, take the read now books, and request stuff that has less cover likes and reviews. But don't just do this, request good stuff by well known authors too, but just don't completely expect that you'll get it?

Trisha (semi-hiatus) (booksreviewsandprocrastination) | 5341 comments I can actually bring it up to 47 if i review the two books i've read and not reviewed yet


Trisha (semi-hiatus) (booksreviewsandprocrastination) | 5341 comments hey, what happened to your 77 books, by the way?


Trisha (semi-hiatus) (booksreviewsandprocrastination) | 5341 comments and like if you have that many left to review, how many have you read so you still have a 30% ratio?!


message 1677: by human (new)

human (that0nefangirl) | 15694 comments the 77 have grown to 82, which is always fun 😭👍

i've reviewed 40 but i've read another 4 that i could review

i was also approved for 10 but they were archived before i could download them T_T

istg publishers really think that i have the storage to download all of my arc's at once sjlfdkjsdlfjsdlfjs

like how!?!?


Trisha (semi-hiatus) (booksreviewsandprocrastination) | 5341 comments The fact that you've reviewed 40 itself is making me pause


Trisha (semi-hiatus) (booksreviewsandprocrastination) | 5341 comments about the downloading, i just split my downloads between my phone and my laptop, and my phone itself has a lot of space because i keep deleting stuffi don't need. including old books, useless phtos, etc etc


message 1682: by human (new)

human (that0nefangirl) | 15694 comments i tried to do that too, and i haven't used much storage on either my phone or my laptop as it is. but the number of arc's i need to download/review is embarrassingly large lmao

that must be a huge problem...hope you figure something out, missing just one book because i didn't download it made me so guilty, missing 10 would be hell

Trisha (semi-hiatus) (booksreviewsandprocrastination) | 5341 comments i have the basic badge and the 10 reviews badge


Trisha (semi-hiatus) (booksreviewsandprocrastination) | 5341 comments though i'm hoping for the 15 one, it'll probably take me till next month

it is. especially when unarchived books that i haven't gotten a chance to download or read because i'm aware of other books that have a set archive date get randomly archived by publishers >:(((

the latter is irritating, and actually the reason i lost that book...
i then went and downloaded every other book without an archive date, and am reviewing them according to their publish date

that's really smart. i actually used to look at publishing date rather than archive date at first, which was such a rookie mistake sfdkjsflksfdjklsjd. i didn't realize that archive dates aren't always publishing dates lmaooo

yeah same, i will look at the archive date first, and if it doesn't have one, then the publishing date
