...are being added to the EarlyReviewers library!

Woo! Thanks for letting us know, off to check it out!

Woo hoo, my favorite time of the ER month!

Oh no! There's a book on there I really want -- so much that it's on my wishlist, so I'll presumably be disqualified from receiving it. Crap crap crap.

Hmm. Are we really disqualified from receiving books already in our catalogues? They might have assumed that people just wouldn't request books they already owned, and therefore not bothered to prevent it.

One can always hope, I suppose. Abby? Would it be divulging dark secrets of the algorithm to answer this?

I had an old HB of Mistress of Mellyn by Victoria Holt. They are reprinting some of her books and that one was on ER. I requested it and I got it so dont despair. Now, if only I had time to read it and review it.....

How do you see the new November books- all I see are the October ones.

4/5/6

Somebody has actually asked this question (no idea what thread). Abby says you're definitely NOT disqualified. It won't help you either, though, since they're looking at best matches. Supposedly it makes no difference whatsoever.

If you add the Early Reviewers account to your Interesting Libraries, you'll be able to stalk see the books in your Connection News as they're added.

4> For the last two months, I've gotten books that were on my wishlist, so it doesn't disqualify you at all.

Great! I still probably won't get it -- it's SF, which tends to be wildly popular -- but at least I'll have a shot.

I see a book on that list that I really, really, really want in a topic that I have a lifelong interest in. I hope I can snag it!

Oh goodness! Lots of great authors this time! (& wishlist book(s)!) *Fingers crossed!*

WOW!! 88 books!

I can only see October books.. hmmm what am I doing wrong?
:)

17- see message 11 for the answer.

18 - Yup did that ... still do not see the November list from which to request from. I am sure I am just missing the obvious lol.

19>

It's not open for requests yet.

I haven't snagged a book in ages...hope this is my chance - I see Jasper Fforde in there!! The long awaited book...I haven't been this anxious about the ER's in a while!

20>
thanks lorax! boy i was feeling kinda dumb. have a great evening!

I noticed the books being added and am finding some interesting ones. I may try to look at them later tonight when and if I have time. I see a few interesting ones. Not sure if they are books that the algorithm will pick me for. I can only hope and pray. It has almost been a year since I won a book from ER.

Had a quick look, but I think I'll wait until they are officially posted - too much disappointment when they aren't available in "my country":)

This will be my first month requesting, so I'll have my fingers crossed. There are quite a few books I'm quite interested in on the list.

Still waiting for the Nov. 09 requests to start up ! Please hurry Abby ! "slides some fresh brie towards our fav girl"

I just become a member, so i will be entering also this month. There are some i really like

Welcome nightvamp and good luck in the ER program.

Wow! Now a hundred titles. Most ever.

Hi all,

The new batch is up!

So, you may have noticed that you started getting profile comments from me about Early Reviewers.

More to come from the blog about why I'm telling you this instead of Abby, I swear. In the meantime, enjoy the November batch!

Really meaty batch this month, and lots of eligible countries. Well done!

And as it turns out the Fforde book isn't available in the US anyway. Good luck to the Canadians who are eligible for it!

After several months of me moaning about too few books for the UK, what a great geographical spread this month. I won't ask what Abby had to do with all those publishers but she must have done it good! Thanks Abby. For the first time in ages I've requested several and will just keep fingers crossed for anything the algorithm cares to chuck at me.

Ed for very weird spelling

Wow there's quite a few I like the look of this month which makes a change from last month when i didn't request anything to now when I've requested three!
Just gotta hope the algorithm gods are smiling on me and I actually get a book this month, as i'm starting to lose hope that I'll ever snag one :/

34> I'm sad about the Fforde book too. No matter, I will just buy it when it comes out anyway! :)

I didn't request anything last time either. This time, I've got my eye on 2. We will see what happens!

Theres only one book out of all those I would like, Imagine that!!!

Hope I get it.

Oh, yeah, that is one drool-worthy batch as far as this Canadian is concerned! I hope I didn't go too crazy with the requests (after having won a few that I only had a mild interest in, I was supposed to learn my lesson and only request books that I really, really wanted)! Fingers crossed!

Wow! What a great list. There's quite a few that look interesting to me. Good Luck everyone!

Ooh, several good fantasies. Maybe I'll get lucky.

Yikes. After not requesting anything in October, I wanted nine in this batch. I hope the algorithm doesn't mark you down if you request too many.

There are so many books it took me a long time to go through them all. There are a few that I want. Not sure how many I requested because I keep changing my mind. Good Luck everyone!!

Am I allowed to smirk at the Soviet Union (being phased out) entry?

Also do we have many members in North Korea? ;)

I only want one this batch, but I really really want it. Fingers crossed!

ETA: the David Kynaston book, that is. I loved Austerity Britain and now I want to read the next one.

I exlaimed with delight when I saw The Poison Eaters! Considering I have almost all of her books, I think I have a pretty good chance at winning it. :D

I requested 2, so I hope one of them comes through. I too haven't requested in a few months because nothing grabbed me. This batch is very good.

lots of great choices - first time in ages that I've wanted to request more than one or two. I tried to be restrained and not request all the ones I would have liked.

48: "I tried to be restrained and not request all the ones I would have liked."

Why? You can only get one book, after all...

I know, but it just seems greedy. I've been quite successful in winning books.

Six books for me. Dang! My wish list just keeps growing!*G*

The list is very impressive!!!

I just noticed that the publisher was offering up 1,000 copies of Lift. I emailed to double check – turns out they were intending 25.

Sorry if that disappoints anyone thinking the odds were way more in their favor for that title.

That is quite a difference...

It's true. I talk more about it over here.
