What is the Advocate badge? Is that the one you get?


message 1253: by Jan (new)

Jan | 258 comments No, the advocate badge came out a few months ago, a promo from NG to help promote books, reading. It was sent through email so you might have gotten a link for it.
The badge for getting 3 reviews posted by a publisher is called the 'Top Reviewer'

Christine (clt04) | 4838 comments OK, thanks, Jan. I have 2 reviews posted.

I know I have one, maybe 2 myself. Might have a shot at getting this one, but that 80% one will never happen LOL

Sue (coccotoro) | 2087 comments If I can do it ladies you can also. I just checked Netgalley, and I have 5 featured out of 80 posted feedback reviews, and have kept my 80% badge.

I got as close as 79% then went on a shopping spree so back down to 69%... I have some reading to do!! :)

Nowhere Girl is publishing reviews, but I don't see any lower than 4 stars. Will be curious to see if we will get our badge after posting our reviews for this one!(I have 2 featured as well)

That's really good Jan.I know I Love Netgalley, but it is like being in a candy store with no parents! I have 8 books to read left on Netgalley plus 1 to finish and give feedback, plus 5 books to read for Maxine. You will have no trouble, as you read fast and write so well.

Take care

Sue

I want a couple of Maxine's books as well but need to get my NG caught up as well as my library reads. It's wonderful to have so many options though, isn't it?!! :-)

It's great, but it is nice when you catch up a bit on Netgalley.

Well, I sure won't, Jan.


message 1263: by Christine (new)

Christine (clt04) | 4838 comments I had my 80% badge a couple weeks ago until I went on a little request binge. I have it back to 75%, so should get back to 80% soon. I am aiming for 95% or so. You can't have 100% and be able to have anything new to read, so that is clearly unattainable by anyone unless they retire from Net Galley.

Nah, but I have gotten a thank you e-mail twice from Joel Goldman who co-owns Brash Books for reviews.

Great saw my review !!

Okay, this was a little shock to me today, and funny in a way, but frightening in another way.

I have just been approved this book


Smoke and Mirrors by Elly Griffiths

Her new book, but I have NOT READ YET, her previous Net Galley book.


The Ghost Fields (Ruth Galloway #7) by Elly Griffiths


I am worried an author CAN write her next book before I can read her last one!!!

LOL

Clare  (clarebears) | 14 comments https://s3.amazonaws.com/netgalley-co... Just been approved for The comfort of Black. I really wanted Smoke and Mirrors because i have read Elly Griffiths other novels but i was refused. I guess i will buy it when the book is released.

This is the first novel of hers that I've read. Will it be hard to follow if I haven't read the first one?


Sandysbookaday (taking a midwinter break) (sandyj21) | 5101 comments Have just requested Smoke and Mirrors! And I was trying to be sooooo good honest! I have got my list down to 72! and almost finished What Lies in the Dark....so that will be 71 *:D

Clare  (clarebears) | 14 comments Hi no her previous books were about Ruth Galloway a Norfolk archaeologist and Single Mum. Smoke and mirrors is a new series.

Clare Comfort Of Black is great book


message 1291: by Chris (new)

Agree with you, Sean!

Mochaspresso  | 19 comments I just got Ashley Bell by Dean Koontz . I'm kind of excited about this. I haven't read a Dean Koontz novel in years. It might even be decades. I really enjoyed the ones that I did read, though.

Haven't requested a book in 5 days. But I am itching to click and see what I can get approved for. Do you think I can make it till 11/1

message 1299: by Kerry (new)

Kerry Hunter (kerryelizabeth) The Night Clock by Paul Meloy
Alistair Grim's Odd Aquaticum by Gregory Funaro

How is that Twain book going, Marilee? I have seen some not so happy reviews of that one.
