Karren  Sandercock  (karrensandercock) | 1079 comments I want to improve my NetGalley feedback ration, to accomplish this I need to read 90 books and then I will never request as many books every again. I would also like to read 40 books I have sitting on my kindle, and I have a diverse selection to choose from.

Good luck Karren!! List them as you go - or now and tick them off when you've read them. It's better when you can see them in front of you :)

Thanks Brenda and after I read a book I will add it to my 2022 personal challenge bookshelf.

Thanks Carolyn, I didnt know anything about NetGalley when I joined, I made the error of requesting everything, suddenly I had 450 books to read and I panicked. I decided I would read as many as I could this year, 204 books later, my feedback ratio is now 68% and it was 28%.

I usually read around 130 books a year, I have stayed off of Facebook, I didnt watch tv and any spare time I have and I read. I will never ever to it again, I have 513 NetGalley books, I have read 354 and I joined in 2019.

Wow! A lesson learned I guess! I'm actually surprised you (and I'm sure there are others) were allowed to continue to request and be approved! Seems silly doesn't it!! And for you, it has turned into a chore instead of a pleasure. Let us know when you have your number reduced and we'll throw a virtual party for you!!
