Next time requesting more than one or two at a time sounds like a good idea... I will refer to this post.

I read about five books a week, so I can handle a bunch of ARCs. My problem is, I request a book, and weeks pass, no approval. So, I request more, and I keep repeating this process until I am approved for everything all at once. What I have resolved to do is spread out publication dates, so I don't have too many in any one month. I usually only sign up for blog tours of books I have read or plan to read, so they are never a big problem for me. <br />Sam @ <a href="http://weliveandbreathebooks.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">WLABB</a>Samantha@WLABBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11589486165371852904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051174949483344057.post-69097631068844182222017-06-26T16:48:21.682-04:002017-06-26T16:48:21.682-04:00I've done that in the past but have had to lat...I've done that in the past but have had to lately curb my enthusiasm. :( Life gets in the way sometimes so I think this is a good problem to have.
