NetGalley… How to improve score? And if you decide you don’t want to read a book anymore does that count against you?

[Afterglow Earring Co]

I am learning a lot about trying to improve my net galley score? Any tips on doing so? And then if I start a book and decide that it’s not for me does that count against you in the end?

I believe if you use the DNF it still counts against you. I stopped for almost two years and DNF'd about 8 titles...now I write a review on why I couldn't finish it.

Always write a review even if you DNF-ed the book. I publish such kind of reviews only on Netgalley, without copy-pasting to Goodreads/Amazon/blog. Always write a meaningful review stating what you liked/didn't like. After 35 reviews mainly in history and politics, publishers started to recognize me as a valuable source of critique
