...Surgery is scheduled for the 9th now. Thank you!<br /><br />At least when you request a book from NG/EW instead than from the author/publisher themselves, DNFs feel less personal...still a pity, but well, you're right. It's not like we request books out of a perverse desire to bash them, after all (at least I hope it's not a thing...).Roberta R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18228840429799100354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2381281230448720689.post-12921594710189469382022-11-04T11:22:23.338+01:002022-11-04T11:22:23.338+01:00YA supernatural horror is on a roll lately!

I have diabetes so I am always worried about foot problems. I saw the Twitter problems you were having and Karen said she contacted you so I was waiting to see if you would be able to fix your account. Thankfully you were. I hope things settle down for you soon.

I don't think you need to feel bad about DNFing an ARC. I do it plenty. You give the feedback, and you're done. We all request hoping we will like the books, but sometimes, they don't work for us. I hope the next batch are all winners.
