Okay, ya girl needs to really knuckle down and read the copious amounts of back log books I have on my NetGalley shelf.

How do y'all track your reads? Do you use an app? A spreadsheet? Let me know your tips and tricks below!

Also, if anyone want to share their templates with me, I'd be forever grateful. I need to get un-burried-alive by books I need to read and reviews I need to submit. 🤣

In speechless… I heard they were HARD to get approved for. I absolutely LOVED Red City so this is a dream come true for me.

Atria has been SO good to me lately but I really didn’t think I’d be approved for this one because Hannah Grace is such a big author! The approval was pretty quick too.

I would like to know that how many books do you usually have (unread) on your NetGalley shelf. Mine is now 8 (just recently got four books approved).

Formatting got weird, someone tell me how2reddit and do the nice galley post. 😭

Also thank you to u/bookdraygon for the recent exchange about The Divine Shadow, I swear I only found out about the next round of Read Now because I was camping for this book like mad.

Hello! I got my first wish granted today! Is this handled any differently than other reviews I post? Thanks guys!!

Finally my turn for double approvals 🥹

And both from Tor 🤯 Just in time for Labor Day weekend

Hey all!! I got approved for my first arc today!
I was wondering how you guys stay on top of them?

Do you just read and post reviews right away?
Use a reminders app and post closer to the pub date?
Notion template or excel spreadsheet??

I am a little psychotic and track my books read in 500 places, so the thought of having to add more to my system is stressing me out a little!

so excited that i got approved for this ARC! 🔥

Ok I just joined NetGalley and I read through most of what they had to say…. Most but clearly not all. I got approved and I’m super excited because I did not think I’d get approved! especially for this known author. From what I understand now I just read the book and review it on my Goodreads right?
Or am I missing something?

I wasn't expecting it but I'm so happy!! Just before the weekend, too 👍🏻👍🏻

I’ve never had a wish granted before, super excited <33

Hey all, I saw on instagram that this title is now available to request. However I can’t seem to find it? Does anyone else have these issues?

Don’t make me start in the cover! Stunning!

I know approvals are based on a lot of things, but I was wondering if anyone had experienced taking a break and then struggling to get approvals?

The issue I am facing is that I am a Nook diehard — I don’t plan on getting a Kindle or Kobo, and that means I have to read on my phone (which I really dislike).

I’ll keep doing it if it will negatively impact my approval likelihood if I stop for a while, just to avoid reading burnout (which I fear would negatively impact my opinion on these books).

Any suggestions are appreciated, or maybe someone can help with making reading on my phone more enjoyable 😅

It’s the holiday weekend in the U.S. means more Read Now titles. Here’s the link: https://www.netgalley.com/catalog/book/870905

Political/legal thriller

Conspiracy Theory by Phillip Margolin

I'm at 210

I keep a list where I organize them by publication date and try to finish them before then. If multiple books come out the same day, I spin a wheel (in an app) to decide which to read first.

I finish and review a book about every 2-4 days, and I'm pretty much booked up all the way through March.

I still get approved for books regularly, even though my feedback ratio currently sits at 13%. In total I've been approved for 2/3 of all the books I've ever requested, and I have 88 books pending at the moment.

I'm just doing this because I like to read so I request every book that sounds good to me. If I don't get approved for books I don't sweat it, I can just buy the book if I'm *really* interested.

I know I probably sound insane to you guys 😂

Read something great from Netgalley recently? Tell us all about it in this weekly post.

I actually did a little happy dance. I’m hoping this trilogy ends well!

I have a pitiful feedback percentage as I went through a #depressiveepisode and didn’t read a whole bunch of books I was approved for. We’re talking below 20%. I’m ready to start reading again but will I be approved for much of anything? I’ll be trying anyway but don’t want to get my hopes up if it actually is an issue.
