[QUOTE="Crothian, post: 2449126, member: 232"] Yes, they, like many PDFs where sent to me when I started being a reviewer. I was swamped right out of the gate and in the first month I got like 50 things to review which was impossible for me to do then (even now when I'm better organized and get reviews done a bit quicker I highly doubt I could pound out 50 in a month). While the amount of PDFs let up some it never stops so I had a choice work on things as they got sent to me which would make me be reviewing books many months after they came out or I would get what I could done and try to keep up with what is coming in. I choose to try to do what is coming in and many many PDFs that got submitted to me in those first months went unreviewed. Even now I can't keep up with everything that comes my way. I try to be frank about it to publishers, and I try to get as many reviews done as I can but sometimes life and things gets in the way. So, I have to pick and choose what I review. In the month of July I have so far gotten 28 books to review. I do what I can. It is not fair, but frankly there isn't a fair way to tell one person they get a review and another person they do not.
