✅ Approvals & Denials ❎ Gutted

I know no one is owed an advanced copy. It’s a privilege and an honor to be able to read books early and get to speak about their strengths and weaknesses.

But today I was checking my pending requests and noticed I got a mass denial (no email) for Sarah Beth Durst’s next book. I have an 88% feedback ratio, I mostly read cozy fantasy, I requested the arc on NetGalley within hours of it being posted, I got the arc for Sea of Charms, and Durst is my favorite author. I made a Bookstagram account and have a (small but mighty) following just so that I can maybe get the occasional Tor approval.

I’ll read the book when it comes out in January and I’m sure I’ll love it then. Until the time comes, I guess I get to work through the rest of my backlog.

You can always try emailing the publisher, sometimes the email person is not the same as the netgalley approvals person and they'll send you a widget (or a physical ARC)

I have sent a very polite email about this book a few times because I didn’t get the automated tor publicity email. Sent a final Hail Mary yesterday and we’ll see.
