I'll check those out! Thank you :')
Omg, i completely agree! How do people get so many ARCs??

It's REALLY hard. The more you review/blog the more you get. You also should work to get at least an %80 feedback ratio on NetGalley.
Sofia wrote: "what is a feedback ratio haha"A feedback ratio shows publisher how many books you have actually read and reviewed that you requested and got accepted for on Netgalley or whatever other site. If you request like 30 books and don't plan on reading them any time soon so you only read one your ratio would probably be like a 5% or whatever (no that was not actual math just a a random example. The good place to have your ratio, for publishers to see you, is about an 80% (THE LOWER THE WORSE, THE HIGHER THE BETTER). I hope that makes sense hahaha
Thank you so much Madeline! it makes sense now. maybe ill start an account on netgalley now... do you have one?
Sofia wrote: "Thank you so much Madeline! it makes sense now. maybe ill start an account on netgalley now... do you have one?"yeah of course, I don't mind.I did have a netgalley account but I deleted it because I never really used it, but now I'm thinking about opening up a new one to check it out. I've been trying to read more ebooks but it's just kind of hard for me too. I'm getting more used to it now though
