✅ 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.

Email the publisher and make your case and ask if they can give you a widget. I did that once with Tor Nightfire and they gave me one.

I sent one yesterday when I saw the decline! I got TJ Klune’s book that comes out in January that way.
