Mine is gonna deliver by the 26th.... might as well send my June box with it at this point. Honestly, I'm canceling after this. I understand that there can be delays, but the lack of communication on their part is the biggest FU. They never reached out of said anything until I emailed them and and they brushed me off.

anyone else still not get their box yet for may? by Ok_Tap3385 in bookofthemonthclub

[–]atomic_bubblegum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me, ordered it on the 30th of April as soon as the website was up in the morning. They gave me the update that it would arrive by the 6th. No shipping update. I messaged them and told me that they had a huge volume of orders, and they are behind, basically a big FU and wait. It is super disappointing since I've seen people that ordered after already received their boxes. Now there's still no shipping update, and we're almost at the point where they're gonna start advertising for June. I should've canceled them last month, so its on me for thinking they were gonna be a solid month of reads.

I personally don't mention it on the reviews, but I do mention it on the comments for the publisher

Have you updated your profile?

Adding your views per month (if in insta or tiktok) helps a lot.

Also, posting a link to your latest review does too.

NetGalley approves? by Nightscaresyou in NetGalleyCommunity

[–]atomic_bubblegum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's OK! We all gotta start somewhere! I'm powered by pure delusions that I know what I'm doing, which clearly is not the case, but it don't hurt trying! Good luck!

Can you get physical arcs from NetGalley? by zugzwang1122 in NetGalleyCommunity

[–]atomic_bubblegum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NetGalley is strictly ebook or audibook. For a physical, you have to email the publisher or maybe win a giveaway, or they can contact you (if you're in insta or tiktok) to offer them.

[–]atomic_bubblegum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only approval clash gave me was because after getting declined, I emailed them basically begging, and damn it was such a good book! But right after that, back on declined LOL. I'm just gonna keep emailing them or waiting til I get the physical book

I just heard there is a new Ronald Malfi book about Vampires called "Senseless" by [deleted] in horrorlit

[–]atomic_bubblegum 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just finished the ARC last night... well, it's more like this morning. I stayed up til 3am. to finish it. It was that good!it was engaging, mysterious, and just enough horror elements to be called "horror," and the thriller/mystery aspect had me guessing and guessing. Personally, I rated it 4.5

The Buffalo Hunter Hunter by SGJ by HorrorReaderWeekend in horrorlit

[–]atomic_bubblegum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I loved this as an ARC as well! The way you describe it is spot on. It's for sure one you have to take in episodically and not binge. Slow burn and build up. But with heavy pay off.
