Brooke wrote: "So many ARCs, so little time, especially when ADE doesn't corporate."exactly. ADE was really annoying in the beginning, but I'm glad I figured it out soon.
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.
ADE is... working?I am shook.
I'm glad it's working because I'm really enjoying my read. And it's due soon. So.

LyraFirefly wrote: "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?

*SOBS IN 42%*
and like if you have that many left to review, how many have you read so you still have a 30% ratio?!
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

oh my god
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
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

edit: although tbf i've had my netgalley account since, what, late june?
sdlkfjsldkfjsldfkjl if i get to 50 i can get another badge :D

what about you?
human wrote: "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

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 >:(((
Trisha wrote: "though i'm hoping for the 15 one, it'll probably take me till next month"i think after the 10 one, there's the 25 one

i then went and downloaded every other book without an archive date, and am reviewing them according to their publish date

ooh yes you're right, otherwise i'd have already got that one

human wrote: "Trisha wrote: "human wrote: "Trisha wrote: "human wrote: "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 downloa..."yeah same, i will look at the archive date first, and if it doesn't have one, then the publishing date
@TrishaMade in Korea and Spy School At Sea! At first, while reading The Infinity Courts ADE was not loading the bottom bar/bookmark/pages/not responding
But, after I sent feedback to ADE addressing my problems, it started working!
