Here's a place to discuss new ARC's(Advanced Reader Copies) and the struggle of getting them.


ꪑꪖᦔꫀꪶ꠸ꪀꫀ I received two of my first ARCs recently!! NOT because I am anyone of importance lol, I just happened to win two Goodreads giveaways?!??!?!?!?!??!? I won 'The Historians' and 'It Had to Be You', I haven't read them yet but I'm planning on reading one sometime next month!

Tbh I don't even know how people freaking receive so many ARCS LOL!

You can sign up for Edelweiss, NetGalley and there are some other great programs but those are the ones I use!

I'll come back with more info but I have ~school~

Let me know if you need help setting up accounts, what to say in emails/requests

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.


message 16: by Sofia (new)

Sofia (s-napper) | 7 comments what is a feedback ratio haha


ꪑꪖᦔꫀꪶ꠸ꪀꫀ 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

Sofia (s-napper) | 7 comments 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
