I requested several of them. One is a series and the first book really left you hanging. I have never read and Lori Copland at least not one that stands out to me?

Wow -- I need to get reading! I was able to get The Heart's Frontier, Hiding in Plain Sight, Following Your Heart and My Dearest Naomi.
I was notified quickly too! So odd how there's no consistency between timing and acceptance of reviewers...
I read Hiding in Plain Sight a few months ago for Reader's Favorite. I got An Uncommon Grace, I don't care for Jerry's books, and I've requested Harmless as Doves, several times. Has anyone been approved for that one?
I finally got an e-mail tonight I was approved for the Amish ones I requested.
I'm stil waiting on An Uncommon Grace? Hmm...

Awesome, I can't wait to read the final book in Tricia's Amish series! I requested them both as well :)
I've decided to make a chart for myself of when my books for review are going to be published, and only let myself get new books that will be published in a month that isn't already overcrowded with books to review!
Camille, I do a similar thing. I have an Excel file of books I need to review. I organise them by each month and give myself 4 books every month (and 2 extras in case I don't like one of the books or I have extra time on my hands). The books still get moved around a fair bit since sometimes something pops up on NetGalley that I've been waiting for. Your method sounds pretty ruthless but sensible :)
It is a bummer not to take everything I want, but I just think it's better that I'm honest about what I can handle rather than letting publishers and authors down. Ya know?
I've been trying to get two books sent to my Kindle since yesterday and I keep getting this message that says:The following From address failed: kindle@netgalley.com The following From address failed: kindle@netgalley.com The following From address failed: kindle@netgalley.com

Sorry but the email could not be sent. Please try again!.
Has anyone else has this? Any idea how to fix it?

I'm so excited to see this book is already up for review! : ) It's my first Harvest House book ... all romance, no mystery. Okay, maybe a little mystery. You know I can't resist.

I'm excited too! I'm definitely more a fan of romance than mystery, to be honest :) I loved A Simple Amish Christmas, so I'm glad you got another chance to write a romance :)

A sequel? Yay! I remember there being some loose ends that hadn't been tied up when ASAC finished, so it'll be fun to revisit those characters sometime :) Congrats on so many new writing opportunities!
I just saw these are available on NetGalley...
Brush of Angel's Wings (Heaven on Earth eries, #2) by Ruth Reid
Arms Of Love (Amish Beginnings series, #1) by Kelly Long
Brush of Angel's Wings (Heaven on Earth eries, #2) by Ruth Reid
Arms Of Love (Amish Beginnings series, #1) by Kelly Long
And also, Living in Harmony by Mary Ellis!I'm being restrained, I only requested Kelly Long and Mary Ellis's books, not Ruth Reid's. Are you all proud of me? ;) LOL. There's no way I can review all the books I want to so I've started only requesting books that no one else from TCM wants to request, since Sara reviews really similar books to me. She's asked for Ruth's book so I'm going to ask for the others. And what does this mean? MORE Amish books being reviewed! The other day the administrator of the website remarked that Amish and historical romances were taking over the site. Ooops? :)
Has anyone been having trouble with archiving issues? I keep going to review a book and find out it's been archived already and I had no notice or warning!! Anyone else experiencing this?
Camille wrote: "Has anyone been having trouble with archiving issues? I keep going to review a book and find out it's been archived already and I had no notice or warning!! Anyone else experiencing this?"Hmm, I've not noticed this. Can you unarchive it? Maybe the publisher archives the book once it's been in print for so many months and they're no longer accepting reviews?
What books have you been trying, Camille? I'll check and see if mine have been archived too, if I have the same book.
I just noticed that a couple books published in april were archived already, and one from July. one by Jerry S. Eicher and his wife (my dearest naomi) isn't out for months but has been archived already.
Huh, that is weird. I tried looking at my archives but the website is down right now. Maybe it's just a glitch while they're rebooting the website?

NetGalley is being glitchy today, yes but I have noticed this archiving thing for a few months now. I thought if I downloaded the Galley before the publish date that that would solve the problem, but apparently not.Yes, you can still post a review, but you can no longer access the galley. Since I am unable to access the galleys I can't read the book or write a review.
Okay, I've noticed that my Harvest House titles have been archived as well, even the ones that aren't published until August. I've already downloaded mine, thankfully, but for those who haven't, maybe you can email the publisher and ask them what to do?

This has not been fixed, I still can not download this title to my nook - the book is no longer available.

This is not fixed. :(
Thanks for the updates, I have requested and downloaded as soon as I get them in hopes that they will not be archived.
The following books are now available over on Net Galley:1) The Face of Heaven by Murray Pura
2) The Amish Bride by Mindy Starns Clark
I saw a HarlequinTEEN Amish fiction is available... Temptation by Karen Ann Hopkins
Here's what's on NetGalley...
Your heart misleads you. That’s what my friends and family say.
But I love Noah. And he loves me.
We met and fell in love in the sleepy farming community of Meadowview, while we rode our horses together through the grassy fields and in those moments in each other’s arms. It should be Rose & Noah forever, easy. But it won’t be. Because he’s Amish. And I’m not.

Oooh, I have been anxiously awaiting the release of The Struggle! This is such a good series! Now I can call my mom and tell her that I am reading before her, she'll be jealous! ;)
Reckless Heart by Amy Clipston is up! I wasn't sure if NG was going to get this one as they've had her July release for ages but I hadn't seen this one at all. Intrigued to see how a YA Amish novel works. Melody Carlson's one was pretty cute :)
