Unreceived Books, Part 6

If you're waiting on an Early Reviewers book, and it's been more than eight weeks since you were notified of your win, be sure to mark it as "not received" in our system. You can do this by heading over to the Early Reviewers page and clicking the "Books you've won" tab at the top of the page. This will take you to a list of all your Early Reviewers wins. After that eight week mark, a link will appear next to the book reading "I haven't received this book yet." Clicking this link alerts me to contact the publisher.

You can also post about it here, and I'll follow up on any late books on this thread.

Yay and thanks on the William Morrow follow-up! (Determinedly woodging an opening in my crammed bookshelf for Fall of Poppies).

I think the e-books I've won must have been lost as spam by my email filter. Still outstanding:

June 2015, Tower in the Crooked Wood
Dec 2015, The Winged Histories

Not sure what I can do about the filter, but I've started keeping a rigorous eye on the spam folder. Things seem to keep there quite a while before they disappear.

>4 Cecrow: If you know the address an e-book is coming from, you should be able to add it to your "approved" list, or whatever your e-mail system calls it, so it won't end up in spam. You also may be able to set the time frame for automatic deletion from that folder, again depending on your provider.

>5 laytonwoman3rd:, good advice, thanks.

Still have not received Girl from the Savoy from the Feb. 2016 batch. Anyone receive it?

I am still waiting for the Silver Man from the March batch.

>7 twopairsofglasses: See my posts here: https://www.librarything.com/topic/190584#5582735. Girl from The Savoy should be on its way to you now!

>8 LynnB: March books aren't considered late just yet (they won't be until May 28th)—publishers have 8 weeks for books to be sent and received. On May 28th, head over to the "Books you've won" tab on the Early Reviewers page, and you'll be able to mark it as "not received" in the system. This will prompt me to contact the publisher with a reminder.

Just marked A Family Apart : Sleuthing the Mysteries of Abandonment, Adoption and DNA by Craig Steffen from March 2016 as unreceived.

Just marked Husbands and Lap Dogs Breathe Their Last unreceived.

The Oxford Inheritance by Ann A. McDonald (February 2016 batch)

Sadly, not received.

I have not yet received The Silver Man from the March batch.

Has anyone received any of the William Morrow titles Lorannen kindly followed up on? My mailbox is still bereft of Fall of Poppies.

Has anyone ever received any Early Reviewers book they've been chosen for? I've been chosen to get two different ones, two different months--and I haven't received either one. It's a little discouraging.

>15 JenniferRobb: I've received a total of 60 books through the ER program over the years, and only 1 that I was chosen for has failed to arrive. Reviews posted on LT will note that the book was received through the Early Reviewers program if that is the case (the reviewer doesn't have to point that out---LT keeps track of it automatically). So if you browse the reviews of a few books from the ER lists, you'll see that a lot of people receive a lot of those books. Sorry you've been so unlucky that the two you've won have not arrived, but I see you've only been a member of LT since January, which means one or both of those books may still turn up. Sometimes it takes a couple months.

>15 JenniferRobb: I've received 15, and am still waiting for 1. Most ER books show up. MG is another story. A lot of those don't.

I am still waiting for Husbands and Lap Dogs Breathe Their Last: A Cummings Flynn Wanamaker Mystery by David Steven Rappoport from Mainly Murder Press.
I don't see any reviews so I'm thinking no one received it. Any news on this?

Still waiting for a book from February batch - Fall of Poppies.

>19 artemisreads: No poppies here, either.

No Fall of Poppies for me either

On the February "received" thread, I've seen a couple of recent posts for titles from the same publisher...hoping that's a sign of progress!

I am still waiting for Husbands and Lap Dogs Breathe Their Last: A Cummings Flynn Wanamaker Mystery by David Steven Rappoport from Mainly Murder Press.
I don't see any reviews so I'm thinking no one received it. Any news on this?

I am waiting on The Lesser Bohemians from the April batch (I've clicked the link that it has not been received). I am just curious to know if others are still waiting as I've started to notice more reviews showing up.

me, too. I have 3 unreceived books.

Hope the get there soon. In the couple of years that I have been here, only one was really late like this (think it was nearly 3 months) but I eventually got it and it was worth the wait.

Listen to Me by Kristen Proby from January. Considering the second book in the series is being offered this month I would think that they would want to get this one out. Otherwise I have received everything lately and only have a few from long ago that I never got.

Still waiting for The Promise by Robert Crais from the October(!) batch. This is the first time in 7 years a book failed to show up.

If there's a book we don't receive for months and months, can we request we "un-win" the title? I'd rather not have to keep updating that I didn't receive it every month or so, in case it hurts my chances of winning another.

>29 Cecrow: I don't think you have to keep updating and not receiving a book does not count against you. Once you mark the book as not received you should see that the number of reviews you owe goes down and does not include any books marked unreceived.

>30 Taphophile13: Actually, your comments aren't quite right. It's true you don't have to keep updating the unreceived status and it doesn't count against you. But the number of owed reviews doesn't change. I've had a unreceived book since May 2013 and it still shows up as an open review. And it's a case where the entire batch was pulled, so well known to the LT folks.

>31 drneutron: Interesting. I have have seen my to be reviewed count go down in several times. It goes back up again if the book finally shows up and I mark it as received. I wonder why we are having different experiences with this.

Can you please tell me where this count is located? I have never noticed it before. Thanks!

The Early Reviewers module has it; it looks like this:

Early Reviewers

LibraryThing Early Reviewers provides free pre-release books to members willing to review them.

You have won X books. You have Y books left to review. See your list.

I have not received my The Matheny Manifesto by Mike Matheny (December 2014 batch)

Thank you! That is good to know.

Has anyone received "Sunlit Pilgrims" by Jenni Fagan? I have not received it yet.

>37 barlow304: I received The Sunlight Pilgrims for the May 2016 batch on Jun 10, 2016.

I have not received Wreck & Order (November 2015 batch) from the same publisher, which is unusual because they are usually so fast!

The Silver Man from March 2016 batch is still MIA here. Anyone received it?

That Touchstone needs changing. The Silver Man

Does anyone from LT actually look at this thread anymore? In the past you could expect someone to get back to you on missing books, I don't see that happening at all anymore (or am I just missing those posts).

I still haven't received Fire Bound by Christine Feehan I won from the May 2016 batch.

Did anyone receive "Snape - A Definitive Reading"?
I did get a mail asking me, which format I'd like me book and, and aswered that, but never got the book. Last week I send a mail to the address where I got the first mail, kindly asking, if the book was already send out, but didn't get an answer.

>43 LarraChersan: I received the email asking which format I'd prefer on July 1st and replied the same day. I received an email about a week later with the Snape text included in an attachment. Have you checked your email's spam folder to see if it got put there?

>44 TempleCat: TempleCat: Yes, I got that mail on the 1st, too, and answered right away. I check my mails daily and also checked my spam folder all the time, wondering if the mail got send into it. But I never got another mail. I send my second mail on 24th July, but no answer so far.

>45 LarraChersan: My email from July 1st asking what format I would prefer came from Diane Tarbuck (dtarbuck@storyspringpublishing.com). However, the mail I received on July 16th with the actual book attached came from Faith Villa (fvilla@storyspringpublishing.com). Maybe writing to Ms. Villa would help get the mess cleared up?

>46 TempleCat: Thank you, I will try that! Hopefully, Ms. Villa will be able to help me.

Still never got Dickey Chapelle Under Fire from the November 2015 batch, seriously disappointed by that, I was glad to see it listed again since I didn't get it the first round. Guess I won't bother requesting anything in the future where I know I've seen it offered in past batches.

>48 .Monkey.: That must be an issue with either the publisher or the shipping service. The USPS declared my address as undeliverable at least twice and returned the item to sender (bills always seem to arrive though). I would like to get a shipping confirmation just like with any on-line order so that I could track the progress.

My longest outstanding is at 14 months now, from the June 2015 batch. I figure once a book is a year overdue, might as well give up on it. The publisher has little reason to make good on free copies at that point, promotion won't matter much anymore.

>50 Cecrow: There's one I won in Mar 2013 that never went out (no ER reviews on it), heh. The only other one I'm also still missing is The Silver Man (Frankenstein? Really? F U touchstones!!!) from Mar 2016.

>25 LynnB: I'm still here—I've just been a bit busy lately, and have some catching up to do. I'll be following up on most of these over the next 2-3 weeks (I'm out of the office all of next week, hence the longer timeline).

Excellent! Lots more time for complaining while we wait! ;)

Seriously, thanks for putting up with us. Yeah, it's the nature of the topic, but ... you've earned that week away.

Didn't receive A Family Apart: Sleuthing the Mysteries of Abandonment, Adoption and DNA by Craig Steffen from the March 2016 batch. It doesn't have any ER reviews so I don't think anyone else got it either..

Has anyone received The Lesser Bohemians yet? I am still waiting for mine from the April batch. Just real curious at this point. More recent wins are keeping me busy so I'm not complaining.

Did anyone receive "Forever in My Heart" from the June batch?

I was supposed to receive Tom and Huck's Final Adventure by J.T. Jones from the June batch, but never received anything.

>55 conniemcmartin: It looks like all other winners have received their copies (and quite a while ago, too). I can reach out to the publisher and see if they can't re-send one to you. Please double-check your mailing information here and make sure it's correct. Let me know, once it is, and then I'll message the publisher.

>56 FReads: Looks like Forever in My Heart was a May title, rather than June. In any case, I've already notified the publisher once (many members still waiting on copies). I'll pester them again this week.

>57 a_quiet_life: Similar story: other members reporting this one missing, too, but June titles are only just late as of last week. I'll be sending out reminders to June publishers next week, too.

>58 lorannen: Any word on Our Man in Charleston from the June batch? I haven't received that one yet.

>59 laytonwoman3rd: Again, June batch titles are only just recently considered late. I'll be going through the "not received" reports for June (so, if you've clicked "I haven't received this book yet" over on the "Books you've won" page), and reminding publishers starting tomorrow and continuing into next week. I'll post updates as I get them!

>60 lorannen: Thanks. I did mark it not received.

I never received Human Acts from the April batch, although others got theirs, so I assume mine was lost in the mail. The publisher has offered this same book in subsequent batches; am I allowed to request the same book from a future batch, if it shows up again?

Just received an ER book (How to Celebrate Everything ) that is not the one I was told that I had won. What do I do with it? I can't think of a topic that I am less qualified to review.

>62 Euryale: Give me a couple days to check in with the publisher about sending you a replacement copy. And please double-check your mailing address! Especially if they're offering it again (which they are this month, too) you shouldn't have to request it again to get yours.

>63 DMO: I'll follow up on this tomorrow. You're certainly welcome to keep it, and I should be able to get the right book sent to you.

>64 lorannen: Thanks! I've checked my mailing address and it's good. I've gotten other ER books here, too.

I didn't receive How My Cat Made Me a Better Man by Jeremy Feig from the May 2016 batch. Did anyone else get their copy?

(I originally posted this to another thread --- then saw this thread might be more recent one. Sorry for the duplication ...)

No Members have added blood republic. It's not technically late yet, but in my experience and ebook that doesn't turn up with a fortnight isn't going to.

I did end up with the correct book and have already reviewed it. Thanks!

I'm still waiting on Tom and Huck's Final Adventure from the June batch.
Also Asiago and the Accomplice from the July batch.

July books are just now considered late as of yesterday. I'll be sending out reminders later this week.

>66 RaucousRain: Seeing some reports of folks just now receiving that one. I'll keep an eye out and send a reminder if it hasn't shown up in a week.

>69 a_quiet_life: I've already sent a reminder on this one, and the publisher claims to have sent it out. Double-check your junk mail folder, and let me know if it's not there?

I'm still waiting for The Kraken Sea by E. Catherine Tobler e-book from the June batch. I see in the old June thread that some other people got theirs so either I was overlooked or they did e-mail me but it wasn't obvious from the subject that it was from Early Reviewers so I deleted it. (I keep my inbox to 0 by strict deployment of the delete button.) Is it possible to get them to try to contact me? With a subject line?

>71 macsbrains: I can't dictate subject lines, since I have no control over these emails. I'll check in with the publisher, though. Double-check your junk/spam folder just in case?

>72 lorannen: I've run queries through my old opened mail with no hits. It either didn't get to me or I got trigger happy with my delete button.

>73 macsbrains: Fair enough, and thanks for checking! I'll get in touch with the publisher and let you know once I've heard back.

>59 laytonwoman3rd:, >60 lorannen: Any word on Our Man in Charleston from the June batch? Did others receive it? I see a number of reviews posted in September with the Early Reviewers symbol on them.

I never received Snape from the June batch. I got the e-mail asking me to choose the format for the e-book but then nothing. I responded to the original email several times but I never received a response.

Hi, is there any word about African American and Cherokee Nurses in Appalachia from the June batch?

w00t lorannen -- received African American and Cherokee Nurses in Appalachia, thanks for following up!

This is the third one I haven't received.

August 2015: Undaunted
January 2016: Unruly
September 2016: Coming Clean

I realize these are free books, but this is extremely frustrating.

the mythology of the superhero from the September 2016 batch still hasn't shown up. Hopefully it shows up soon.

I just today, December 13, received Gay American Novels, 1870-1970 from the JUNE 2016 batch, and I had to pay the shipping in order to pick it up from the post office. Very disappointed.

I know it's not officially late yet, but hoping that Who Wrote “The Night Before Christmas”? by MacDonald Jackson from the October 2016 batch shows up by .... by the night before Christmas. How perfect that would be!!

I never received White Elephant by Mako Idemitsu as of December 31, 2016, and I believe this was from the October 2016 batch? Disappointed as I was really looking forward to this book. D:

Has anyone received Oswiu: King of Kings by Eduardo Albert from the October batch?

I really hope the last book of the trilogy will be shipped out soon.

I haven't received this one either. It was from the Oct 2016 batch

Has anyone received The Mythology of the Superhero from the September batch? I've seen some reviews, but that could be from the earlier (August?) batch.

Who Wrote "The Night Before Christmas"?: Analyzing the Clement Clarke Moore vs. Henry Livingston Question (from the October 2016 batch) has not shown up in my mailbox yet. Sigh.
Did anyone else receive a copy yet? Santa, are you listening??

Hi, as today I didn't receive Immortal by Nicole Conway, I checked the spam and it isn't in there. Anyone received it yet?

Ah, since this is showing up again, I figured I'd take a look at what I'm missing ... I have not received the books from:
November 2012
October 2015
March 2016
July 2016
... as well as the December 2016 selection, but that's not "late" yet.

Given that the longest it took for an LTER book to show up here was a whopping 14 months, I still have a vague hope that at least those 2016 titles might appear eventually ... but I'm guessing the earlier ones are just chalked up to the publishers scamming the program!

{edit} hmmm ... speaking of publishers scamming the program ... the middle two books listed are both from the same place - MSI Press - and they're both available on Amazon, so it's not that they "didn't come out" (one of the legitimate excuses for the publishers not sending the books) ... plus the 11/2012 book is also available on Amazon (different publisher - Prufrock Press), so they also just were scamming!

I wonder if there should be a "fool me once, shame on you / fool me twice, shame on me / fool me thrice, YOU'RE OUTTA HERE!" rule for publishers that offer books but then never send them. Both of the publishers in the above are still in business, and all three of those books are being sold via Amazon (so, still in print). How often should the LTER program be used for, essentially, "free publicity", before the offending presses get blackballed?

>1 lorannen: lorannen:

Did anyone else not receive a copy of The Blue Hour from the November batch!? I'm new to LT Early Reviewers; I've participated in two batches, wherein I won two books. The second one (from December) arrived today The Chilbury Ladies Choir however, I've never received this book from November. I know I can mark it as unreceived lateron this month but I read a note saying we should check to see if others received theirs!?

I am not discouraged if the book(s) did not ship or if the publisher is taking longer to mail them. Either way, I am thankful for the book which has arrived as the #PubDay is in February which gives me a few short weeks to enjoy reading it before I post my review. I wanted to post a note here in case anyone else was awaiting the same book I was and hadn't received theirs. All my information is current and correct for LT ER, too. I was just looking forward to this one due to the premise of it and the incredible breadth of story. Again, I'm thankful to be in the programme and will happily review all the books which arrive as it's quite serendipitous how everything works out in life especially when it comes to early copies of books. On that note, if a finished copy can be shipped in lieu of an early copy, I will happily review it instead.

I haven't received Oswiu: King of Kings by Eduardo Albert from the October batch - does anyone have any news?

What I find frustrating is when I check a book's page and find ER reviews from others posted and I never received the book! *stomps foot petulantly*

From Ashes Into Light from Feb 2016
Shadow Conspiracy III from June 2016

>93 mamzel:, yes, frustrating, but sometimes the book is offered more than once. Even sometimes quite a bit later to get more reviews for a paperback release. It could be that your batch wasn't sent but another batch was.

Ashes has ER reviews from Dec 2015 through Jan 2017, so not just the Feb 2016 batch. The ER review for Shadow is dated (Sunday) July 3, 2016. Almost certainly a different batch.

Still not nice, but probably not a personal thing.

I haven't received White Elephant by Mako Idemitsu from the October batch. Has anyone rec'd it?

I still haven't received Forever in my heart from the May 2016 batch. I don't think anyone else has as I haven't seen a review.

>92 BooksPlease: Oswiu
>95 seeword: White Elephant
>96 FReads: Forever in my Heart (by Rebe James)

I haven't received Encyclopedia of KISS by Brett Weiss from the October 2016 batch. I was really looking forward to this one too! :(

I haven't received Oswiu either from Oct 2016.

I have not received How to Break the Seven Rules of Women Who Stay Fat from October 2016.

I never received The Boy Who Runs by John Brant from August 2016 or The Return of Sir Percival: Guinevere's Prayer by S. Alexander O'Keefe from September 2016. They're both available on Amazon and I've been tempted to just buy them and write a review anyways.

Did not receive White Elephant by Mako Idemitsu from the October 2016 batch.

Thanks.

I won these book but did not receive any of them
The Typewriter's Tale byMichiel Heyns from Member Giveaways. You should get your copy shortly
Perfect: The Call byScarlet DVore
The Day Santa Stopped Believing in Harold by Maureen Fergus
Amuda byMo McCarthy
Lantern byChess Desalls
The Girl With Two Names: A Novel byGerard O'Neill
Uncomfortable Ideas byPhD Bo Bennett
Perfect: The Revolt byScarlet D'Vore

>103 MaryAnn12: Member Giveaways is a different program. You can message the member directly, but LT staff doesn't get involved in tracking books down. Please read the first post if some of those books are Early Reviewers.

Still have not received The Joy of Less from the May 2016 batch.

I won Nature's Remedies: An Illustrated Guide to Healing Herbs back in December but still haven't received it. So disappointing. I was really looking forward to it.

Fingers drumming on the arm of my reading chair, idly gazing at the ceiling... still waiting for Wyatt Earp’s Cow-boy Campaign from the October 2016 batch...

I haven't received either Stand Your Ground (Caroline Light) from December 2016 or God in Captivity (Tanya Erzen) from January 2017 (although it hasn't been quite long enough to mark this one not received yet).

Hopefully they do show up, I was really excited to win these two in particular! The previous giveaway books I've received arrived super fast so I may have developed unrealistic expectations, lol.

I have not received Behind the Mask:A Superhero Anthology from the February batch. I know it is not officially late yet, but it was a digital copy.

If memory serves me, these books were all to be digital copies - I check my junk religiously so don't believe I've missed the appropriate emails for the following which I have yet to receive:

The Discount Detectives by Ben Unglesbee (November 2016)
The Miracle Adjuster by Simon Campbell (November 2016)
The Great Sky by DG Laderoute (August 2016)
The Cursed Canoe by Frankie Bow (March 2016) (although I receive frequent emails with discount offers on his books)

>107 ghr4: watch, my copy of Wyatt Earp's Cow-Boy Campaign arrived today!

>111 fuzzi: Yes! Got mine today too!

I did not receive a copy of Stand Your Ground: A history of America's Love Affair with Lethal Self-Defense by Caroline Light from the December 2016 batch. Our church is talking about this issue this and I was hoping to get it before late April, when major discussion starts. Any chance?

I just got God in Captivity today. They are coming. :-)

I have not received Depraved Heart by Patricia Cornwell from the January 2017 ER batch. I just clicked to mark it as being late. Sigh. Hope it shows up soon!

Got Stand Your Ground: A history of America's Love Affair with Lethal Self-Defense by Caroline Light today. Looking forward to reading it.

I haven't seen any recent ER reviews of Depraved Heart by Patricia Cornwell ... has anyone who won the book in the January 2017 batch received a copy of it yet? Mine hasn't arrived -- so I was just wondrun' if anyone has any news about it.

I just marked Murder on the Serpentine by Anne Perry from the February batch as being late. And I still have not received Depraved Heart by Patricia Cornwell from January.

I think this is the first time I have two ER books marked as late. Has anyone received either of these books yet?

I have not received Cannibalism: A Perfectly Natural History by Bill Schutt (Algonquin Books) from the February 2017 batch.

I have yet to receive mine of White Elephant from the October batch and it is now the end of April.

Still waiting for Isaac the Alchemist: Secrets of Isaac Newton, Reveal'd by Mary Losure (January 2017) and The Discount Detectives by Ben Unglesbee (November 2016).

Any news about Depraved Heart by Patricia Cornwell from the January batch, or Murder on the Serpentine by Anne Perry from the February? I haven't received either of them yet. Sigh.

I realise that it is only a couple of weeks late, but others have apparently received Blood Vowed by Traci Douglass from April and have reviewed it already. I received the other title I won from the April batch.

Have not received Bobbi Brown's Beauty from the Inside Out by Bobbi Brown from the March batch. It will be considered late in a few days. Any word?

Never saw Murder on the Serpentine. I don't think I've ever had an ARC that didn't show up!

I still haven't received For White Folks Who Teach in the Hood by Christopher Emdin from the December, 2016 batch.

I still haven't received The Greatness of Dads from the March 2017 batch. I'm really bummed, too, because it's the first and only book I've ever won and, as a somewhat new dad myself, was really looking forward to reading and reviewing it.

Star Trek Cats is MIA. :( This book was made for me, I want it!

I have yet to receive my copy of the book The Women in the Castle by Jessica Shattuck that was in the March batch for the early reviews. I just realized that this group existed and this was what I was suppose to do when I did not receive books. This has happened to me several times but through the member giveaway section.

Should we give up on White Elephant by Mako Idemitsu (October 2016 batch)? I won it, but never rec'd it

I haven't received my copy of The Women in the Castle either.

Me too ... I haven't received The Women in the Castle from the March batch. Also have not seen either Murder on the Serpentine from February, or Depraved Heart from January. Until now I've been very fortunate to have received every one of the ER books I've won. Over 60 books -- gotta be grateful about that! And I am. Very grateful. But it's so curious that three ER wins in a row haven't shown up, and it's even curiouser that there has been no word so far as to wassup with them .... sigh.

No sign yet of Bobbi Brown's Beauty From the Inside Out from the March 2017 batch.

>134 wcath: I was waiting for that one too. I figure it's not coming; too bad, I was looking forward to it.

For all the folks asking about March books, those were just considered late as of this week, and I've been out all of last week (vacation) and this one (conference). I'll be sending out reminders next week. Thanks for your patience.

>135 framboise: - We still definitely have a chance to get it. One of the books I won through Early Reviewers finally was received 6 months after the 60 day period ended. I stay hopeful for the most part even though I have had a few books that never arrived.

Same for me. I'm really looking forward to it too!

I haven't received mine either.

Did not receive "Awkward" from the March batch. Have not seen any reviews posted yet.

I also have not received Awkward: The Science of Why We're Socially Awkward and Why That's Awesome. And I still have not received How to Break the Seven Rules of Women Who Stay Fat from the October 2016 batch. I contacted the publisher myself and got no response.

I am also waiting on Yoga Bodies.

I'll be messaging winners individually later this week, but, for anyone waiting on a title from Chronicle Books from March or April (not late yet, but still), those are headed out soon! My usual contact is on leave, and we lost touch for a bit. Fortunately, someone else at Chronicle got in touch with me, and has assured me books will be on their way shortly! Affected titles are:

March
Bobbi Brown's Beauty From the Inside Out
Floret Farm's Cut Flower Garden
From Here to There
The Greatness of Dads
How to Success!
Star Trek Cats
Yoga Bodies

April
An Atlas of Countries that Don't Exist
The Card Catalog
Explorer's Sketchbooks: The Art of Discovery & Adventure
O Glorious City
The Secret Art of Being a Grown-Up
Unleashed

I have not received The Women in the Castle. Thank you, lorannen.

I haven't received Snape by Lorrie Kim June 2016, How to Break the Seven Rules of Women Who stay Fat Oct 2016 and Depraved Heart by Patricia Cornwell Jan 2017.

I know it is still not technically "late" but I'm confused by the lack of receipt of Autobiography of Satan from the April 2017 batch. It is an e-book, and at least 9 people have received it (based on the reviews posted).

>143 lorannen: - Thank you!!

I have not received from the February, 2017, Batch: Sons and Soldiers: The Untold Story on the Jews Who Escaped the Nazis and Returned With the U. S. Army to Fight Hitler by Bruce Henderson.

Also, I have not received the book from the March, 2017, Batch The Women in the Castle by Jessica Shattuck.

Fortunately, I DID RECEIVE from the April Batch the book A Hiss Before Dying by Rita Mae Brown on 4-25-17. I am anxious to finish reading my library books to get to this one. I am very thankful for the ones I do receive. Thank you.

Has anyone received Red Leaves from the April 2017 batch? It will be 8 weeks on June 23rd and I'm not holding my breath that it will show by then. Thanks.

I haven't received The Women in the Castle from the March 2017 batch.

Murder on the Serpentine from February 2017 has not shown up either.

Also no sign of Depraved Heart from January 2017.

Maybe they'll ALL be in my mailbox today! (a girl can hope, right?!!!)

I still have not received The Women in the Castle by Jessica Shattuck (March 2017 batch). Thanks!

Still waiting on Price of Duty from the April batch.

I never received Revenge of the Evil Librarian or How to Success. I see that the latter was on a list of books that had been delayed, but what about the Evil Librarian book? Have others gotten it?

I have not received The Women in the Castle from the March batch either. I was REALLY looking forward to this one as well. Hopefully it gets here one day. :(

I am also still waiting on Price of Duty

As of today, July 13, 2017, I have not received: Sons and Soldiers by Bruce Henderson (February 2017 batch) and Fortune Smiles by Adam Johnson (August 2015 batch)

I still have not received the two books I mentioned in post 141. Since you are now offering a second book by the author of my missing October 2016 selection (Kenneth Schwartz), this might be an opportunity for some communication as to where that book is. Post 145 by cal8769 also references not having received this book, and it currently has no reviews on LibraryThing.

I also seem to be experiencing some glitches in the system. On my profile page, I have two messages about winning different audiobooks from the June 2017 batch, but only one of those is showing up on the "Books I've Won" page. I also just received in the mail an Mp3 audio book of "I Was Told to Come Alone: My Journey Behind the Lines of Jihad" by Souad Mekhennet from Tantor Media. I recognise that title having been on a previous Early Reviewers list, if I'm not mistaken, but I never requested it. Have I mistakenly received someone else's book?

Still haven't received these three:
The Women in the Castle from March 2017
Murder on the Serpentine from February 2017
Depraved Heart from January 2017

Anyone have any news about any of 'em?

I suppose that after over two years I should give up on Beyond the Pale (March 2015). It sounded really interesting.

Just a heads up, would love help if if is available. I have not received my The Light In Summer" by Mary McNear from the May 2017 batch. Also haven't received Married In Montana by Jane Porter from the June 2017 batch. I requested a chance on only two books is July since something has happened and I am not receiving them any more, I didn't put much effort in it. All my information is the same, so I am not sure what's up.

Has *anyone* received this one yet?: Hiddensee: A Tale of the Once and Future Nutcracker by Gregory Maguire (June 2017 batch)

>161 Sandralb: & >162 cosiari: Aren't there still a few days left before the May books can be marked late? And the June books still have another month to go.

Yes, I'm aware. I'm not attempting to mark the book late; I'm merely asking if anyone else who won the book has received it. ER books don't usually take this long for me, aside from one other book that never showed up for me or half of the other people who won it. If nobody has Hiddensee then I know that I needn't get my hopes up whenever I walk to the mailbox, that's all.

I have not received The Daughters of Ireland by Santa Montefiore. (May 2017 batch)

still have not received Devotion by Meg Kerr from the May 2017 batch, this is the longest I've waiting for a book!

I have not received Memory's Exile from the May batch. Looking at the page for the book, I think nobody got it, however. (It was an ebook, so this should not be a problem in delivery)

Like knightlight777 and quaintlittlehead posted here two months ago...

I also won Awkward: The Science of Why We're Socially Awkward and Why That's Awesome (published by William Morrow?) from the March 2017 list but haven't received it yet. Was wondering if it was just me, or maybe a hold-up with the publisher. It's a free book, so I'm not going to get too wound up one way or another, but it'd be nice to know what to expect.

Any word yet?

I'm in the same boat, never received a copy of 'The Autobiography of Satan: Authorized Edition' by William A. Glasser.

I finally decided to just borrow Revenge of the Evil Librarian from my local library, as I did when I never received Beast of Cretacea. Out of curiosity, I checked to see who the publishers were for these books. Both are from Candlewick Press. Maybe I should stop requesting books from this publisher since I never get them?

I have not yet received The Daughters of Ireland by Santa Montefiore (May 2017 batch).

Was really looking looking forward to reading "Broad Strokes" by Bridget Quinn (May 2017 batch). Any information on that book?

lorannen: I have not received The Beach House: Coming Home by Georgia Bockoven (April 2017 batch) nor have I received
On Love's Gentle Shore by Liz Johnson (June 2017 batch) yet. Thanks!

>176 susan0316: Oddly, I received On Love's Gentle Shore, and I didn't win it!

I haven't received The Women in the Castle from March.

>162 cosiari: I haven't! And it's not listed in the "books received" thread.... We can mark it as unreceived soon... hopefully we get them!!

I haven't received these books:

• The Women in the Castle by Jessica Shattuck (March 2017 batch)
• The Dress in the Window by Sophia Grant (May 2017 batch)
• The Missing by C.L. Taylor (June 2017 batch)

William Morrow is the publisher for all three.

I'm still waiting for these:

The Women in the Castle from March 2017
Murder on the Serpentine from February 2017
Depraved Heart from January 2017

No, I haven't received it either.

I haven't received these books yet:

-Forever in my heart by Rebe James (May 2016)
-Revenge of the Evil Librarian by Michelle Knudsen ( Jan 2017)
- Hiddensee: A tale of the once and future nutcracker by Gregory Maguire (June 2017)

Hey folks! Sorry I'm a bit behind on ER follow-ups at the moment. Addressing the backlog Wednesday/Thursday of this week, so expect some good news! Thanks so much for your patience.

I'm still waiting on the following books:
◇The Women in the Castle by Jessica Shattuck (March 2017 batch)
◇Hiddensee: A Tale of the Once and Future Nutcracker by Gregory Maguire (June 2017 batch)

I indicated on the giveaway page that I haven't received them, and still nothing. (Since it's been so long, I'm thinking The Women in the Castle will never come, but I hope it won't count against me for reviews and all.) 😟

>185 GennaC: Some books do take a long time to arrive which is frustrating. The June batch is hardly late so I wouldn't give up hope on that one and even March might still show up.

Not reviewing a book doesn't count against you if you marked the book as not received.

Still waiting on The Daughters of Ireland by Santa Montefiore (May 2017 batch) and Hiddensee: A Tale of the Once and Future Nutcracker by Gregory Maguire (June 2017 batch).

I "won" Price of Duty by Dale Brown in April but still have not received the book. However, I received On Love's Gentle Shore by Liz Johnson about the time I would have expected to receive Price of Duty. I have no interest in the Johnson book. I am wondering if LT somehow sent the wrong information to the publishers and some person who requested the Johnson book actually received Price of Duty. My Books Requested page still includes "Price" in the count of books I have won.

So far LT has not responded to my queries regarding this issue. Does LT respond to those who post here?

I haven't received ANY of the books that I've won since I moved in June 2017. I have made sure several times that the address is correct. Any ideas of why I'm NOT receiving ANY of them?

I still have 9 books that I won that I haven't received. Do you want me to list all of them here? I've been marking them as unreceived every month.

These are the books I haven't received.
The Beach House: Coming Home by Georgia Bockoven (April 2017 batch)
Diet Tuffy: The Fun Way to Seriously Lose Weight by Kenneth & North Schwarz, Julie Schwarz Ph.D. (October 2016 batch)
How to Get Happy and Stay That Way: Practical Techniques for Putting Joy into Your Life by Joanna Romer (March 2016 batch)
Everybody's Little Book of Everyday Prayers by Cynthia MacGregor (September 2015 batch)
A Solemn Pleasure: To Imagine, Witness, and Write by Melissa Pritchard (March 2015 batch)
Optimal Health with Multiple Sclerosis by Allen Bowling PhD MD (November 2014 batch)
When Did You Die? by Temple Hayes (October 2014 batch)
A Butterfly Without Wings by David M. F. Powers (September 2013 batch)
Rainbows for Rainy Days by Catherine Campbell (May 2013 batch)
I would really appreciate help in receiving them or what to do if not.

>177 avanders: Sounds like they may have gotten their winner lists mixed up. I have heard of others receiving that didn't win. Oh well, I am hopeful still. It is a wonderful program and I love receiving free books. Who can complain there! Happy Reading to you.

Hi I'm just adding my 2 cents about the unreceived Hiddensee (Maguire, June 2017 batch) :(

I've not gotten Army of One by Tony Schumacher from July 2017 batch yet. I saw some say they got theirs, but I haven't gotten mine. Only book I've ever won that I haven't received.

>194 Thogek: I haven't gotten my An Army of One book from the July 2017 batch yet either. I saw one person said he or she got it along with some extra books.

In my many, many years of ER book requesting, I've had only one book that never showed up so I'm still hoping for the Schumacher novel to arrive

I get the impression that William Morrow publishers are particularly slow and/or broken about shipping out won early-review books. (Just me?) Just for future FYI...

Has anyone received The Fearless Benjamin Lay: The Quaker Dwarf Who Became the First Revolutionary Abolitionist by Marcus Rediker? I was really looking forward to this one! Hope it may still arrive.

It is not "officially" late yet, but it has been my experience that books that don't arrive before the next month's giveaway are not coming any time soon! I have not received I'll Be Your Blue Sky from the August 2017 batch.

Re. #198 ... It's been my experience that LTER books tend to average about 2 months to show up, and I've had one take a whopping FOURTEEN months to get here. I think a better indication of if a book's going to make it or not is the PUBLISHER, as a couple of them are notorious for not shipping.

So far I have been awarded three giveaways and not received any. One was from May, one from July and the other is not considered "late" yet.

>200 reb922:, my experience has been hit/miss. I've received four, missed two. Both of the two misses were electronic, so I've given up requesting those.

Hi. By chance was there ever any word on the dress in the window from the May batch? thanks!!

Hi, I also haven't received The Fearless Benjamin Lay or Surprised Queenhood. I'm really looking forward to both of them so keeping my fingers crossed.

I am getting extremely frustrated in the fact that I haven't even received acknowledgement that I haven't received any books in months. I have messaged administrators and left a note on here over 2 months ago.

I never received Murder on the Serpentine by Anne Perry from the February 2017 batch.

>204 ollie1976:
Like you, I have left messages here and messaged administrators, and never heard anything in response. I agree it can be frustrating. Mostly my frustration is with the publisher who offered the review copies -- yet fails to follow through.

Guess I'm glad I'm not the only one.....

Unfortunately it seems that LibraryThing no longer monitors or responds to queries on this thread like they used to a few years ago. If your book doesn't arrive your best bet is to try to contact the publisher yourself.

I initiated a query about 3 months ago asking what I should do with a book I received that I did not request. In the same message I noted that I had not yet received Price of Duty which I "won" in April. After awhile loranne replied that LibraryThing "never" sends books to people who did not request them but she would check to find out what happened. She never reported what she found and did not respond to additional queries.

Subsequently, I discovered this thread (see 188 above). I forward the book I received by mistake to WillowOne who had not yet received the copy she "won." I still have not received Price of Duty nor heard from loranne. My guess is that the LibraryThing staff is overwhelmed by the volume of work.

>208 Micheller7: Tatoosh

Like you I have not received Price of Duty from the April 2017 batch. I have been an Early Reviewer for a couple of years now and this is the first book that I have not received. I had one other that took about 3 months before I got it.

Reb922: Just saw this. I did eventually receive The Dress in the Window. I was able to reach Loranne by email, not through this string. I believe she followed up with the publisher. It took over four months. PS It was a very good book.

Micheller7: Thanks for the info! I acutally almost bought it the other day I still might.

>210 MarthaJeanne:, >211 Micheller7: If you type > and the message number you get the member name as a link to the message mentioned.

>212 hubblegal: thanks MarthaJeanne - if I can remember this in the future. Would be so much simpler if replies could simply be under the original message.

No sign yet of The Last Ballad by Wiley Cash. :(

>213 MarthaJeanne:, I really like seeing the newest at the bottom and not having to check the whole thread.

I have not received Tooth and Talon by Alex Hernandez yet, the 8 week mark was Oct. 27 2017. Has anyone else won this book and actually received it yet?

Tooth and Talon has four ER reviews but seems to have been offered in several batches.

>214 MaeCee18: I haven't rec'd The Last Ballad either

>214 MaeCee18: >218 twopairsofglasses: I'm also still waiting on Wiley. :-(

I'll Be Your Blue Sky from August is now officially late. Anyone have any luck?

Sadly, I have not received The Last Ballad by Wiley Cash (August 2017 batch). I was really looking forward to that one.

I just went through my books and see that I also haven't received Almost a Full Moon by Hawksley Workman (September 2016 batch). I don't imagine I will ever see it, but thought I would mention it.

I have not received either of these books yet.

Gaza: A Country Preparing for Dawn by Donald Macintyre (July 2017 batch)


Real American by Julie Lythcott-Haims (June 2017 batch)

Still no sign of An Army of One by Tony Schumacher from the July batch.

If it doesn't show up, it'd be only the second no-show for me since I started asking for ER books in 2009.

What seems odd to me is that several ER people have reviewed it while others have said, like me, that they haven't gotten it.

No sign of The Last Ballad from the August 2017 batch here either.

Still missing:

An Army of One by Tony Schumacher (July 2017 batch)

Is anyone out there?
I'll be your Blue Sky is definitely not here and does not seem to be coming.

I haven't received Letters to the Pianist from the September batch. Obviously other members received it as there are reviews for it. Maybe the email went into my junk mail leading me to miss it, but I do check that folder...

I haven't received The Last Ballad by Wiley Cash from the August 2017 batch...

I haven't received Maps to Nowhere by Marie Brennan from the September batch. The email never arrived as I regularly check my spam folder.

I have not received Soundscapes from the July batch.

Neither have I, and I love Cash's books. sigh

The Last Ballad by Wiley Cash is now on the new book shelf at our public library and I still haven't rec'd my "early Review" copy from the August batch...
