📚 There ARE so many books coming out. It seems so busy these days, but I don’t know if that’s just my increased awareness thanks to BookTubers such as yourself. 🚀 I have seen “Floating Hotel” on a few channels that I follow! The rest were unfamiliar however. 🧐 When you get accepted for an ARC are there stipulations like posting a review - written or spoken - somewhere? Do you have to provide a link to ‘validate’ your effort and hence improve your approval score? Does this mean you are more likely to be approved by certain folks, such that when you get denied by Turton’s people you have to work another angle to get noticed by them, or something? 🛒 I just ordered “The Book That Wouldn’t Burn” and “The Spear Cuts Through Water” yesterday (15th March) which are brand new paperback releases, so aren’t ‘new new’ IYSWIM!
There are so many books, I always just scratch the surface! For an ARC through Netgalley you mark it as read and add your review within the platform, you can also link any external review e.g. a video. The act of rating + reviewing improves your score. I do think for some publishers they're a bit more picky and they look into the people who request it. I also have a so-so score cause I've read about half of what I requested so that could be better, they recommend 80% i think. I probably could reach out to Turton's people directly and request an ARC that way. Uuuu hope you enjoy your paperbacks!
Another good video
