[Daisy]

Thank you, Christine!!

[Megalion]

Nice Daisy!!

I'm dearly hoping for myself.

And just showed up on Edelweiss!

[David]

That's great, Daisy. Well done, really pleased for you. Great to know that reviewers get some recognition.

[Jean]

Just had approved The Ballroom.

[Christine]

Daisy or anyone, are there any major differences between Net Galley and Edelweiss? Is the latter based in Europe somewhere?

[Amy]

You're so lucky, Jean! I really want to read that one!

[Jean]

Well, after Sandy's wonderful review, I just had to try!

[Diane S ☔]

Edelweiss is not as easy to use as Netgalley but other than that you just request the same and not as much pressure to review. No badges or anything. Try it Christine. Jhttp://edelweiss.abovethetreeline.com...

[Christine]

Thank you, Diane. I will go take a look. (-:

Only real difference is that Edelweiss is not so userfriendly to browse.

[Sandra]

Got approved for and immediately started reading The Wacky Man

[Sandysbookaday (taking a midwinter break)]

After being declined for the first two Robert Dugoni books I requested, I have been approved for In the Clearing

Congratulations Jean! Hope you love The Ballroom as much as I did. *:D

[Megalion]

Nice Sandy!!

And lol Sandra, I'm reading it too now. Kinda disappointed so far at 30%. Hope it gets better and doesnt end up like She's Come Undone by Wally Lamb. Needless to say I despised it.

Had an e-mail message today, which sent me a link to Net Galley.

As instantly approved for Clare Mackintosh's new book.

I See You

[[deleted user]]

Wow Sean nice one!

[Janet , Moderator]

Not available on NetGalley yet. They must be just sending widgets out for now. Unless I can't find it!!

Sean, that is awesome! Congrats!

[Pamela]

I know this is for books that are approved. but I didnt get approved for three today. Oh well.... better luck next time as they say. some were even for my country.

[Janet , Moderator]

We all get turned down occasionally, Pamela. All part of the Netgalley experience! :)

[Christine]

Pamela, I requested 3 books on the same day last year and was ultimately rejected for all 3. I didn't request anything for a couple months after that, but now I get many more approvals than rejections. I did get rejected for Mary Kubica's Don't You Cry though this week.

[Diane S ☔]

Approved for The Ballroom and To the Bright Edge of the World

[Sandra]

Congratulations on Clare Mackintosh' Sean!

Although I have more approvals these days, I think a little more than a third of my requests is rejected!

The Wacky Man is sort of okay. Not mindblowing just yet!

[Daisy]

@megalion and @David, thank you so much. I'm sorry it took awhile to reply.

@Christine, I'm late replying to you, also, but I agree with the others. The biggest difference I see between Edelweiss and Netgalley is Edelweiss is not as user friendly. I have only been a member for a couple of weeks and I get confused with the way it is set up. I think I click on several tabs everytime just to find the one I want.

I have been approved on there for books Netgalley declined.

@Sean, congrats on the Clare Mackintosh book! I have not read I Let You Go, but as soon as I can get it, I will.

Hi Pamela, no I actually got rejected for Don't You Cry. I'll have to get in line at the library!

[Sandra]

Being rejected opens up spots for other good books, so we can request more :)

Christine, have you registered with Edelweiss yet?

[Christine]

You are absolutely right, Sandra. And no, I have not investigated Edelweiss as for some reason I thought it was not for people in the US. Do they have much that Net Galley doesn't? Perhaps I should take a peek.

[HornFan2]

Got an invite from Penguin, pre-approved for John Gilstrap's latest 'Friendly Fire' and also got approved for Ace Atkin's latest in the Quinn Colson series, 'The Innocent'.

[Christine]

That's great, Mike!

Boy, I sure know that I have been turned down my fair share the I was ... Oh, wait a minute, we are talking about books.

[Janet , Moderator]

Lol! :-D

EDELWEISS....

There's a group for them and the bunch of us that do both sites have figured out many of the mysteries of EW. Recommend joining it to find your answers. Or ask questions if you don't.

Reasons to give EW a try:
1) many books are often posted on both. Usually appears on EW first. This gives you an extra try at getting approved.
2) no feedback ratio. Therefore no overt pressure.
3) Approval odds are MUCH higher. **
4) Plenty of books on the more outlier edges posted as well that never make it to NG.

** I've requested over 100 titles. Have only been rejected for 14... most of which occurred in first 2 weeks.

[Lynn]

Edelweiss I haven't a clue how that works or looking for books:(

[Arathi]

how does Edelweisss work? any inputs would bbe helpful

[Paula]

I signed up but haven't requested any books yet. Some of the bigger publishers are not on there such as Berkeley Publishing Group. I always get rejected by them on NG.

Ah. And another one

And also .

I am beginning to wonder if the magic key hasn't been adding the word blogger to my profile... I only set it up last night.

[Diane S ☔]

[Jean]

This was my fastest approval yet: Summit . Might be my next read.

[Sandysbookaday (taking a midwinter break)]

I'm curious about that one. Didn't request though. Attempting another moratorium on requesting.
