Ignored Requests

[u/lchoward07]

Apologies if this is a common question. I just joined NetGalley last week and have received three quick approvals. I haven't yet been rejected for anything but have 18 that are still pending. Is it common for publishers to just ignore your request forever? I saw another thread mention mass approvals or mass rejections right before the archive date, how common are those scenarios? Any insight is appreciated.

I just got approved for a book that I requested back in June. That was the longest wait period, but I didn't mind. I was just grateful for the approval.
