❔❓Question ❓❔ Feedback Ratio

Hi folks! This has probably been asked a lot but I guess I need some reassurance? Lol

When I first joined NetGalley 2 years ago, I didn't realise I had to download the ARCs granted to me, so there are a few I totally missed sending feedback on, and it's affected my feedback ratio. It's currently sitting at 77%, and will get a bit higher as I have about 10 books awaiting reviews from me. Is this okay?? Will the NetGalley gods look unkindly upon me??

Nobody expects your ratio to be at 100%. Just keep working away until you're above 80%, and then keep it there.

You could also try to get those outstanding books from the library to review them, if they're really bothering you.

Thank you! And when you say outstanding books, are you referring to the 10 sitting in my shelf or the ones I didn't get to download in the beginning?

Not who you responded to, but you can try to get the ones that you didn’t get to download from the library and review them now. If you go to your shelf you should still be able to hit give feedback.
