When you are checking for a book make sure that you are looking in Net Galley and not the titles you have.

Really have to watch that green button

Hi fellow readers, firstly I've really enjoyed reading all of your comments. What a great group. For a book enthusiasts, this really is heaven. I've been auto approved by 3 publishers, and I have Authors approach me directly asking me to read their book. It's hard to understand how avid readers that we all are get declined by certain publishers to read books in Netgalley. oh well, luckily there are plenty that approve us. Thank for letting me join your group.

Welcome to Net Galley Anonymous, Todd! Pleased to have you join us!

a lot of people get rejected because they don't answer the publisher's criteria. i.e. i live in the Uk, and before i had a staggering 90% feedback rate :P US publishers would reject me, as they deem my feedback irrelevant to their target market...

Having said that - when it comes to previewing my thriller, i don't reject anyone. so if anyone is interested .. feel free to message/befriend me. won't push here any promos :)

Just got a new approval today (I know I'm naughty as still have four to finish yet and some of my own books to read). I do feel a lucky bunny though as didn't expect to get approval as I don't have my own blog or such.

Starting to feel like a proper reviewist now ;o)

I don't see myself as a reader anymore. I am a 'Written Arts Funding and Support Facilitator' I.e. I buy, read, review and retweet books.

[Jen]

'Girls on Fire' by Robin Wasserman. Little Brown Book Group.

[Christine]

Congrats, Jenna!!

[Janet , Moderator]

I've got that one too, Jenna, another one on the list!!

Er.... I've been naughty.... and ... er.... been requesting again.....!

The lastest acquisitions are

All Is Not Forgotten Hearing some great things about this one.

And The Wolf Trial Apparently a beautiful read.

And .... I've requested Redemption Road Whether I'll get this one or not, I don't know.

[Jen]

I got Redemption Road so was lucky I guess. Just need the time to read it...

[Sue]

Just approved forAll Is Not Forgotten by Wendy Walker. Looking forward to reading it!

Same for me. I actually forget who approves and who doesn't but St Martins Press is very hit and miss.

Yeah, St. Martins Press rejected me last month, but approved me yesterday.

[Cameron]

I have been really super busy and then last week I came down with the flu for a week with my weakened immune system. But, just finished and reviewed Joe R. Lansdale's . I am down to 14 on my NetGalley addiction list. Hmmm .... See How They Run by Tom Bale looks pretty good. Dab Nab you all. I have a whole tack of others also. Oh, well.

[Janet , Moderator]

That's what I mean. I didn't get Redemption Road but I'm pretty sure they've approved me a few times before. I can only assume they've ran out of copies or my face didn't fit this month!! Hehe! :-D

It's fine really, it's not like I haven't got a mountainous pile that can now be spotted from another galaxy!! :-\

[Diane Lynch]

Got approved for

You know you can go to the "Activity" section of your NG profile to get a list of your rejections and who the publishers are, right Janet?

[Janet , Moderator]

Yes, I did know that, Chris, no worries there. I may have a quick gander if I remember next time I go on. Unless auto approved no book is guaranteed. Whatever I get are like presents! :)

[Christine]

I agree, Janet. Unbelievable gifts, everyone of them.

[Zippergirl]

I just got one I'd forgotten

Alphabet Everywhere

It's the fun of photographing letters you see in structure and nature.

[Sandysbookaday (taking a step back for a while)]

Just been approved for The Postbox Murders by Edmund Glasby, The Ballroom by Anna Hope and Die of Shame by Mark Billingham. So excited!

[Diane S ☔]

Doubleday and Ecco are the two publishers I have trouble with. I am auto approved for St, Martins.

[Christine]

Geez, Diane, if they deny you, who the heck do they approve???

I have trouble with St Martins! They used to approve me, but now they don't......maybe I gave one of their books a bad review. I really can't remember. Penguin also auto-refuses me. I don't think I have ever had an approval from them. But I keep trying!

[Christine]

Auto-refuse! LOL, Sandy!

[Christine]

Speaking of Penguin, I see they now have the latest Alex Marwood on offer. If they approve anyone, that is.

[Janet , Moderator]

Which one, Chris, The Darkest Secret?

[Cameron]

I think that long ago when I was single that I was auto-refused on several requests. Denial is part of the on-going trial and quest, though, isn't it?

[Amy]

LOL @ Cameron! You are funneh!

Why thank you kind Amy! I can close my laptop with a smile on my face now. ; )

[[deleted user]]

I am always auto-refused from Simon & Schuster. They really don't like me. Lol!

[[deleted user]]

I am mostly approved for Penguin but I had a random one the other day from them declining a request, and it's a particularly long-winded, important email explaining all the critical requirements they need from me, to the tiniest detail about me, a blog, page views of a blog, 300 page detailed profile on me. (Ok I'm being sarcastic now)
I just thought ok, just keep your book then. Really, it's not worth it.

[Janet , Moderator]

It is bizarre. The St Martins one was we prefer US Canada requests because we're based there and I don't fit their market?!! Guess they don't want to sell in the UK then??!!! The reasonings are bizarre at times. Orion never approves me and the books I really want I go and buy anyways.

[Janet , Moderator]

Kimberley, did you request Blood Wedding by Lemaitre? I saw it yesterday and requested, got approval this morning. Thanks for the recommendation btw. The cover is gorgeous. :)

[[deleted user]]

Approved for

[[deleted user]]

Yes Janet, got it this morning too! :-) Great cover, can't wait to start that. Not sure whether to wait on the one for a while... Not published until September.

[Todd]

That's funny Kimberley I agree. Not sure what some of these publisher's are thinking. I got declined by Atria Books the other day because I don't live in the US. So this is the first declined book I've had where I decided to send them a reply back. I said if you let me read the book, I'll put a review on Amazon US, Apple and Powells. Well I have to say that didn't work, I haven't heard back from them. Guess that's a no then.

[[deleted user]]

Oh my bad Janet, Amazon says July release date.

[[deleted user]]

Worth a try Todd! I think they Netgalley process is a random one! Or they're only allowed to hand out a certain amount and then decline everyone else.

[Janet , Moderator]

Excellent, Kimberley! Yes, definitely an upper limit on arcs sent out. Even with the same publisher it's different for each book.

[Christine]

Janet wrote: "Which one, Chris, The Darkest Secret?"

Yeah, it is listed as recently added, but now I see it's already out.

[Janet , Moderator]

Yes, I read it a while ago.

[Jean]

It's reassuring to see that all you stellar, prolific reviewers get turned down on occasion!

What a great stash Kimberley, I'm so jealous! There are some great books coming out of the UK that I can't get my hands on through NG, and you just got 3 of them. Maybe it's a blessing in disguise though...someone has to tell me NO!

[Pia]

There's a new Helen H. Durrant, and it's read now:

Thanks Jan, and I know what you mean! Lots of great books on Netgalley at the minute.. Better crack on!! :-)

[Adrian]

Ive just joined NetGalley. No idea if I will be successful in any of my future requests as I`m a fairly new regular reader so we shall see.
I`ve tried to review anything I have read this year on this site.

Anyway Ive decided to get the ball rolling with a read now option, mentioned a couple of posts back:



Havent read the first novel so hopefully works as a stand alone.

[Janet , Moderator]

Good approach, Adrian. Once you've got a couple of reviews / feedbacks under your belt, you're away. We all started somewhere!

Feel free to ask / discuss anything here and enjoy your NetGalley read. It's a series I haven't dived into yet.
