Can you imagine how time consuming it must be for the person who has to sift through all the explanations? Though, I guess they check people out on NetGalley too, so maybe the explanations make it a little easier because they don't have to research the requester's blog? Hmm...food for thought! Great point, TB!

What gives?! You're the same person! As mind-boggling as it is, the inconsistencies really do soften the blow of rejection though :P <br /><br />I liked Galley Grab, too. It wasn't a perfect system, but it was so much fun getting that newsletter every month. <br /><br />Thank you for the info about the emails. It seems like I'm totally in the minority here, so maybe the problem was on my end somehow.

I'm pretty good at curbing myself when it comes to requesting physical copies (probably because I have to leap over the hurdle of shyness, but also because I feel guilty if I don't like a book a publisher spent money to send me). But e-galleys are so non-confrontational and I feel no guilt at disliking them or not getting to them in time. <br /><br />I'm pretty sure Edelweiss does let you read on your kindle. I *think* I remember seeing a kindle option, but since I read them on my computer I pretty much zeroed in on the option that was relevant to me and ignored the others :P Small Reviewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16072352095510905410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955420282479112508.post-48047643917530665242012-08-19T20:57:13.185-04:002012-08-19T20:57:13.185-04:00You're so welcome!

It's interesting how they ask specifically why you would like to read a certain title, as that probably takes some time to go through all of the responses they get. Thanks for sharing!

I LOVE MG books and have requested and reviewed 2 MG (The Great Unexpected and A Dog Called Homeless) and 1 YA (Once). Somehow I was chosen for a feature review and wow, I've been getting emails like crazy now for pubisher pitches! Crazy for me and my little blog. I'm not sure what I did or didn't do but I started off with a bang with Edelweiss. I always get denied from Harper Collins on NG but I'm getting approved through Edelweiss so I'm not sure what the trigger is for approvals. Strange!

A shame since publishers such as HarperTeen have left Netgalley for Edelweiss. I was on auto-approve for HarperTeen titles on Netgalley, but they're showing me no love on Edelweiss. *Crying* Also, I want S&S Galley Grab back because if that was still around I'd have the Evolution of Mara Dyer in my hands by now, but again, I was denied on Edelweiss. Argh!<br /><br />I do get approval and rejection emails, though. Well, mostly rejection as you may have gathered, but I definitely get emails.

And the time delay is killing me! Sometimes I've gotten a response in a day or two and then there are the ones I've been waiting on for almost 2 weeks. I really don't like the interface as it's kind of hard to search for older ones but if you check back every few days then it's pretty easy to stay on top of it. I'm very excited to see Netgalley's new design because that might make me fall even more in love!The Insouciant Sophisticatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03934853089105345052noreply@blogger.com
