You have to be careful, if you don’t review them in a timely manner it makes your ratings go way down.

I had to stop. It became way too stressful. It kind of took the joy out of reading.

You ladies might want to switch to http://bloggingforbooks.com/ , which allows you only one book at a time, until your review is posted online. The plus is that you get a real book in the mail! 🙂

@Heather you inspired me! I created a spreadsheet. It will be much easier to see which ones I should read first. I’m jealous of your copy of The Great Alone!

How do you find time to read other books you want to read when you have all those ARCs to read? I would be stressed out!

So do you read according to publication dates or just what looks good at the time? I try to read according to publication but then I get a book that I REALLY want and mess up my system.

I need some help, got my first approval but when I am on this page I can’t click on Send to Kindle. I made sure my emails are set up on both netgalley and my Kindle, not sure what to do!

Maybe try refreshing the page?

Did that, may have to contact their support.

I thought that 2 but it can take a hour or so to reach your Kindle. When you click the picture you think something should happen but it doesn’t. Check your kindle in a bit.

So when I get books on my Kindle they go here, but it’s been a full day and this book isn’t in there. Should I be looking somewhere else?

0
Holly

It’s not under books on your kindle ,it’s under documents.

0
Tammy

Go to your amazon account, manage device/contents and look for it under docs. If it’s there, just resend to your kindle. I’ve had them hang up in the cloud and had to resend.

Cara

OK, so I found it here, but nothing happens when I click on it. Sorry for being a pain!

If you’re looking for it on your Kindle, you need to change from all items to docs
