like on netgalley?"

yup!"


you really don't need to write anything? or are you talking about the bio?

Haha, probably XD my review ratio dropped to 36% this morning, but hey, i got approved for another one when it happened

include any stats you might have, and don't write it like a goodreads bio, these people are not there to make friends, they just want the facts. include genres you enjoy, authors you like, and if there is soemthing that absolutely does not work for you, include that too. for example you might just not want to read anything that includes sex scenes, so you should include that kind of thing in your bio.

if you have social accounts, include stats and links, and always round up for stats

for example, the day my followers reached 51, i updated my bio to reflect 55. the day they become 56, i'll put it up to 60.

yes, it counts as a review not written

that's strange, i nearly always get approved from them, and entangled publishing as well...it's possible they might have differnet approval preferences, check their page for more help


Trisha (semi-hiatus) (booksreviewsandprocrastination) | 5341 comments i just missed the top half of this page's comments for some reason when i last opened tthis thread


Trisha (semi-hiatus) (booksreviewsandprocrastination) | 5341 comments the fact that i just got approved for another arc, and now my ratio is down to 36%
wait it's the same
so i've finally reached the state where it'll now be super hard to get it up

I'd recommend netgalley too, but mostly because i made an edelweiss account but it does not make sense to me like at all


Trisha (semi-hiatus) (booksreviewsandprocrastination) | 5341 comments So guys, I got approved for The Queen Will Betray You (Kingdoms of Sand and Sky, #2) by Sarah Henning last night, and I haven't even read the first one yet! It's pretty bittersweet, but I've wanted to read this series for so long, that maybe this will make me get a move on

Trisha (semi-hiatus) (booksreviewsandprocrastination) | 5341 comments Does any one know what it means when people say netgalley email address? do we get specific netgalley email addresses or are these just the email addresses we're registered to netgalley with?
