Night Shade Books has some new sff titles that you can 'Read Now': http://netgalley.com/index2.php?modul...
Had a request denied for the first time today :(
Mod
What was the request for and who was the publisher?
I haven't had denied requests, just ones that seems to have been ignored.
It was Year Zero: A Novel, published by Del Ray/Spectra, which falls under Random House. I checked their request criteria, and apparently you need a blog that's updated daily or almost daily, plus you have to provide loads of stats from your blog, twitter feed, and facebook page, so it's no mystery to me why I didn't get the book. Best to avoid Random House for now.I've got a 2 or 3 ignored ones too. And one that got approved AFTER the book was archived, so I had to decline the review.
I'm very new to this site, but since I'm a bookaholic and live in Cape Town, I will see if I can constructively participate when it comes to BOOKS!
Welcome N! Are you new to NetGalley as well, or just Goodreads?
Mod
I have also had books declined but I am guilty of not reading the publishers' requirements :)
I read a few when I started, but I don't check each one before I request. For the most part I stick to titles from a few publishers whose books I like - Little, Brown; Mulholland (who auto-approved me, yay!); Night Shade Books; and Orbit. I often request books from other publishers as well, but now I think I'll check their requirements first. I don't want more declines in my stats.
Mod
I haven't received one from you today.
Mod
When I tried to send it last night after I didn't recieve it, it said I can't send again in one day.
I can try to send it again tonight, but then everyone might get double :(
Mod
Sounds like it must be a Goodreads glitch, so I don't think there's anything you can do, unless you want to contact tech support :(
Mod
Crusader if you are reading this, Happy Belated B-day!!

Happy Birtday to you!
Happy Birthday to you!
Happy Birthday Dear Crusader!
Happy Birthday to you!
Just be thankful I wasn't there in person to sing it live :)
Hope you had a wonderful day with lots of presents (i.e books)!
Mod
It was a great day, but I was the only one that spoiled myself with books (most of which are still en route).
I'm now getting to the age where you start to dread coming birthdays... ;)

Star Trek FAQ is on netgalley
If you were ever interested in reading the Artemis Fowl series by Eoin Colfer, books 1 and 2 are being released in a special edition, and review copies are available to 'read now' on NetGalley: http://www.netgalley.com/PopupHandler...
The final book is coming out in July 2012.
I think this one's really cool: http://www.netgalley.com/PopupHandler...It's a Russian sci fi novel that's been out of print in the USA for 30 years. It was the basis for the Andrei Tarkovsky movie Stalker, which I've been meaning to watch for a long time. I didn't know it was based on a book, but this is a good chance to check them both out.

Might as well get it, I have to read the second one for a challenge. Thanks :)

Don't bother. The publisher denied my request since they don't have distribution rights outside the US.
Same here :(Usually they put up a warning for that. Sloppy.

It'll all be "Read Now" and available for that month only.
Mod
How is that Kindle app working out for you by the way? Do you get to keep the books permanently, or do they expire?
Mod
Thank you for the suggestion!

It will give you one there :)

Nope. Doesn't give me an option for it. I think they exclude Android apps for some reason.

If you go to Amazon - your account - Digital Management - Manage Your Kindle - Manage Your Devices
I see my kindle email there. I think somewhere there you click register

To be able to register you need an actual Kindle. My Android and Kindle for PC shows up, but you don't have an option to register them.
You are using it on your iPad right? Amongst the completely disorganized help section I found a note that said the "Send-to-Kindle" function only works for the iPad apps at this stage.
This should be popular: http://www.netgalley.com/PopupHandler...Post-apocalyptic YA romance. And it's Read Now.

Amped if I'm not mistaken. Will definitely have to try for it.
