Unreceived Books (Part 10)

Hi All. Please report the Early Reviewers titles that you have not received in this new thread, going forward.

Make sure to include both the title, and the monthly batch in which it was offered.

Please Note: we are not following up on titles won before September 2023.

Win Every Argument: The Art of Debating, Persuading, and Public Speaking (September 2022) and A Fade of Light (October 2022) still have not come.

Just so I can find this again. Hopefully I'll have no more books lost.

Upon a Waking Dream by J.S. Bailey from the (November 2022) batch

>2 lemontwist: Alas! These are both giveaways which have had some troubles. I am sending you a PM, with some more information.

>3 Bargle5: Fingers crossed!

>4 Brubow: I have PM'd you to confirm contact details, and will contact the author on your behalf.

Have not received Indigo Isle from the February 2023 batch. Not an urgent or burning issue with me--you have folks who have been waiting a lot longer-- I just knew if I didn't write it up now, I'd forget!

Have not received A Very Malibu Vacay by Tina Wells from the November 2022 batch.

Haven't received Self-Care Journal for Women With Prompts: Self-Love Workbook to Reduce Stress, Increase Self Confidence and Reclaim Your Life https://www.librarything.com/work/29230407) from November

>5 AbigailAdams26: Win Every Argument arrived in the mail yesterday!

>8 gmathis: Good news! I have just recently been in touch with the publisher about this one, and through an email mix-up copies didn't go out at the time. They have now been mailed, and you should receive yours shortly. I have PM'd you about this as well.

>9 BritneySG: This was a giveaway from West Margin Press, a publisher that was purchased by another publisher this past fall, with the result that their giveaways fell through. I have been in contact with someone at another publisher, which used to be an imprint of West Margin Press, and I believe the purchasing publisher is going to honor the giveaways. I have PM'd you with more information.

>10 HippieLunatic: Unfortunately, it does not appear that this one is going to arrive. I have PM'd you with more details.

>11 lemontwist: That's great! I'm glad it's arrived, and hope you enjoy it!

I haven't seen an email with Montpelier Tomorrow yet. I'm not sure if there has been an issue sending it out or if I thought it was spam before received the notification I would be receiving a copy.

>16 preparing4rain: As an April giveaway, this one is still in the delivery period, but if you think you accidentally deleted the email, I can reach out to the publisher, to see if the download can be sent again. I am PM-ing you.

I have not yet received a copy of "Format Your First eBook: Without Special Tools, Skills or Software" by Laura Kortum. I am anxious to receive this book ASAP because I have an ebook I plan to use to evaluate the clarity and completeness of the book.

It is my understanding that we need to wait one month before reporting an ebook as not received and two books before reporting a print book as not received. The listing of awarded books does now include the option to indicate the book has not been received. If my understanding of the proper procedure is incorrect, please let me know.

>19 Tatoosh: I'm still waiting on that same book too. It's definitely not gone to my spam folder.

>20 Jackie_K: Nor mine. Also, I receive routine email messages from LT so I know the email address on file is correct and working properly.

>19 Tatoosh: >20 Jackie_K: I am reaching out to both of you with PMs, and will follow up with the publisher, to request replacement copies.

Stable By Cam Torrens : I did not receive this ebook.

>22 AbigailAdams26: Thank you very much, I'll let you know if/when it arrives!

"Format Your First eBook: Without Special Tools, Skills or Software" by Laura Kortum arrived today. Apparently, a snafu by the firm sending review copies for the author resulted in several people not receiving books in a timely manner.

Thank you, Abigail, for contacting the author. Your support for ER participants is greatly appreciated.

>25 Tatoosh: What Tatoosh said! Thank you Abigail!

>23 Xengab: I have reached out to you via PM, and will contact the author on your behalf.

>25 Tatoosh: >26 Jackie_K: That's great! I'm glad you have both received your copies.

I did not receive Deflected by Swapnonil Banerjee, Nivedita Majumdar from the December 2022 batch.

>29 vangogan: I have PM'd you, and will reach out to the author on your behalf, once I hear back from you.

>1 AbigailAdams26: Take Good Care: 7 Wellness Rituals for Health, Strength & Hope- May 2023; 2: Blood from a Stone: A Memoir of How Wine Brought Me Back from the Dead- Feb 2023; 3: You've Got the Power! Four Paths to Awaken Your Body's Archetypal Energies- Jan 2023

I have not received Stable, by Cam Torrens. I see I'm not the only one still waiting for this title.

I have not received the following book. Take Good Care: 7 Wellness Rituals for Health, Strength & Hope by Dwight Chapin, Chinaka Hodge

>31 michelletinkham: I have PM'd you about these books, and will contact the publisher on your behalf, once I hear back from you.

>32 LyndaInOregon: I have obtained replacement copies of this one for a few other winners, and am happy to do so for you. I have PM'd you, and will contact the author once I hear back from you.

>33 VandaChittenden: I have PM'd you, and will contact the publisher for a replacement, once I hear back from you.

Hi! I was due to receive Fun Facts And Trivia About US Geography for the last early reviewer's batch. It still hasn't arrived. Could you remedy that?

>37 kristincedar: It looks like download links for this giveaway were to be sent via LibraryThing message, but never were. I will contact the author, in order to follow up.

Hello, I haven't received the Forbidden Love audiobook from last month's batch yet.

Good afternoon -

I have not received a copy of Through Three Rooms by Sven Elvestad from the May batch.
I have checked both my e-mail in-box and spam folders but no luck.

I did receive the other book I won in May via an e-mail link, so the e-mail on file for me is correct.

Thanks for your help.

Hi, I don't need this book chased, but I just wanted to highlight that a book that I didn't receive from the May or June 2019 batch (One Day on the Gold Line: A Memoir in Essays) keeps showing up on my Books I've Won page as unreviewed. I marked it as not received in 2019, then noticed the other month after we'd migrated to the new system that the not received mark had gone, and it was showing as unreviewed. So I marked it as not received again, but just checked today (because my % reviewed score looked lower than it should) and there again it was showing as unreviewed rather than not received. I've marked it as not received yet again today, but I wonder if there's a glitch around books unreceived before the site makeover which might need looking at. Thanks :)

>39 TMLbuds34: I have reached out to you via PM, and will contact the author for you, once I have confirmation of your contact details.

>40 tealadytoo: I have now contacted the publisher on your behalf, to request a replacement copy. Please be on the lookout for their email. I will PM you when I hear back from them.

>41 Jackie_K: You should only need to mark a book as Not Received once. It will remain on your ER wins page, and if you use the dropdown menu at the top to look at your non-reviewed books, it will show up, because there is no review. That said, the lack of a review should not count against you, when it comes to your reviewing score, because you have marked it as Not Received.

The system will allow you to mark it as Not Received again, but this only changes the timestamp on that status, rather than changing the status itself.

Everything looks OK to me, when I look at your ER wins page, but I am PM-ing you, to see if there is an underlying issue.

I haven't received A Solitary Drum by Tom Phelan (won December 2022)

>43 AbigailAdams26: Thank you very much. I will keep a look out.

I have not received The Blue Prints of Deuteronomy: 20 Days Devotional Bible Study Guide by Victoria Nesiria from the April batch (ebook that was supposed to go to email)

>45 Caxur: Unfortunately, we only follow up on giveaways from the last six months. Anything prior to that, most of our authors and publishers won't send replacements. Please mark the book as Not Received on your ER wins page, if you have not already. My apologies for this disappointment.

>46 tealadytoo: My pleasure! Hopefully it has arrived by now.

>47 EEL45522: I have reached out to you via PM, to confirm your contact details, and will contact the author on your behalf.

>49 AbigailAdams26:. Yes, it arrived and was a very entertaining read. Thanks very much!

>51 tealadytoo: That's great! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Did not receive the link to review an e-book. I was told I had won Cold Pursuit by Nancy Mehl and that they would send me a link but it never came. So far my review history is 100 percent and I would like to keep it that way. I was so looking forward to reading this book.

I have not received Curse by Christina Maraziotis from the April batch.

I have not received The Path of Chaos by Tom Haward (June 2023 batch).

I have not received the book "Tell her story: How women led, taught, and ministered in the early church" by Nijay K. Gupta through the early reviewers. I am very interested in reading this book. Thank you. This book is from the June 2023 batch.

>53 kaykwilts: I have reached out to you via PM, to confirm your contact details, and will reach out to the publisher on your behalf.

>54 Powderfinger69: I have reached out to you via PM, to confirm your mailing address, and will contact the author for you.

>55 scatlett: I have reached out to you via PM, to confirm your email address, and will reach out to the publisher on your behalf.

>56 TX1955: It looks like this is a paper/print edition. Our policy gives authors and publishers 8 weeks from the end of a giveaway to get print copies to winners (4 weeks for digital copies), so this will not be considered "overdue" until August 21st. Hopefully your copy will arrive well before then. If it does not, please let me know, and I can request a replacement copy at that time.

Thank you.

I have already received my July win A Ray of Hope but have still not received my June win The Hidden World of Gnomes.

>62 lowelibrary: I'm sorry to hear that you haven't received your copy of The Hidden World of Gnomes yet. This appears to be a paper/print edition as well. Our policy gives authors and publishers 8 weeks from the end of a giveaway to get print copies to winners (4 weeks for digital copies), so this will not be considered "overdue" until August 21st. Hopefully your copy will arrive before then. If it does not, please let me know, and I can request a replacement copy at that time.

Hello! I have not received The Invisible Elephant from June 2023. It was supposed to be a physical copy. This is the first time experiencing difficulty receiving a physical book.

Have not received Code Name Edelweiss from Jan 2023 batch.

>64 RandyMorgan: I have been in communication with the publisher about this giveaway. The copies were late going out, due to the publisher moving house right around that time. That said, they should have gone out by now. Please let me know if you have still not received your copy.

>65 Sazonov: Unfortunately, we only follow up on books won in the last six months, as most authors and publishers will not send replacement copies after a certain amount of time. Please always let me know right away, if a book does not arrive within the specified delivery period: within 8 weeks of the end of the giveaway for paper editions, and within 4 weeks of the end of the giveaway for digital editions.

I have not received the e-book for The Lives Between Us by Leah Omar

the publisher Unsolicited Press has not sent multiple book over multiple months. can we remove them from the early reviewers as an option, as they seemingly refuse to uphold their end of the bargain? i really hate waiting months, or bothering the literal saint that is AbigailAdams26.

I have not received The ABC's of Alzheimer's/Dementia Caregiving ebook from the August batch.

I'm still waiting on Calvin and the Sugar Apples from the June giveaway.

>68 sdbookhound: I followed up with the publisher of this one yesterday, as a number of winners have reached out about it. It is the publisher's first giveaway, so there may have been some confusion. Please let me know if you don't receive a copy within the next week, and I will reach out to them again.

>69 kristincedar: My apologies for the frustration! I am fairly sure, having communicated with this publisher before, that they send out their copies. Unfortunately, I think many of their emails end up in spam.

I am contacting you via PM, in order to confirm your contact details, so I can reach out to them about this one.

>70 LMbks: I have reached out to you via PM, and will contact the author on your behalf.

>71 fionaanne: I have PM'd you, and will contact the publisher on your behalf, once I confirm your contact information.

>78 lchuk: I have reached out to you via PM, and will contact the author on your behalf, once I confirm your contact details.

>79 JALCAM: It looks like this one was a paper copy. Our policy gives authors and publishers 8 weeks from the end of a giveaway to get paper copies to winners (4 weeks for digital copies), so this won't be considered "overdue" until November 21st. Hopefully your copy will arrive before then, but if it does not, please let me know, and I will be able to request a replacement copy for you, at that time.

>80 torontoc: I have reached out to you via PM about this one. Hopefully your copy will be with you soon.

>81 smiteme: It is not too soon, as our policy gives authors and publishers 8 weeks to get paper copies to winners, and this period has now elapsed. I am PM-ing you, to confirm your contact details, and will reach out to the publisher on your behalf.

STILL not received as of Jan 3 2024. Guess I will not be receiving it. :( And I am a two time FIRST time grandmother this past year so I was really excited about winning and reading this one.

>109 bdouglas97: Congratulations on becoming a grandmother!

Unfortunately, we don't follow up on non-received books after a certain amount of time has passed, as most authors and publishers will not send replacements, after a few months. I am very sorry for this disappointment.

I am still awaiting "Our Global Lingua Franca" from the November 2023 batch.

I have not yet received an ebook of All of Us Alone from the December batch, yet. I've checked my spam folder throughout. It doesn't look like anyone else has reviewed it yet either, so has it been sent out at all?

Haven’t received Super Natural Family International Cookbook: A Healthy and Playful Global Recipe Collection from the November batch. Just seeing if there were any updates from the publisher? Doesn’t look like there are any reviews up for it. Thanks!

>111 Reader1999: I have PM'd you, in order to confirm your address, and will reach out to the author on your behalf.

Hi,
I have not received an Early Reviewers, January selection
“Killer Dead, Victim Alive” by Geczi. I noticed it has been received by others. Thank you for your help. Gary Severance.

>122 GarySeverance: I received that one, but it was initially in my spam folder. Have you checked there?

When the Lights Turn to Green

Just wondering how long to wait before receiving email in case I need to check my spam folder.

>124 marquis784: I'm wondering the same for The Devil's Tapestry. I have checked my spam, but didn't see it there, either. Can't recall how long one needs to wait before marking it not received, but I expect I should wait a while yet.

Smoko by F. E. Beyer from December batch

If I click the not received button do I need to post here as well?

>117 Crazinss: I have reached out to you via PM, to confirm your address, and will contact the author on your behalf.

>118 Tatoosh: I have contacted you via PM, to confirm your email, and will reach out to the author for you.

>119 mabeling: I have PM'd you, to confirm your email address, and will reach out to the publisher on your behalf.

>120 ghr4: It looks like this was a giveaway for a paper edition. Our policy gives authors and publishers 8 weeks from the end of a giveaway to get paper copies to winners (4 weeks for digital copies), so this will not technically be considered "overdue" until February 21st.

That said, I have PM'd you, to mention this, and to confirm your address, in case the book does not arrive by that point.

>121 amcam: As it happens, I have been in contact with the publicist who offered this one, and there was some kind of mix-up at the warehouse. Copies should definitely have gone out by now however. I've PM'd you with more details.

>122 GarySeverance: >123 LibraryCin:

Yes, it's true that the spam folder wreaks a great deal of havoc with ER deliveries, unfortunately.

>122 GarySeverance:

I have PM'd you, to confirm that the book is still outstanding, and to confirm your contact details.

>124 marquis784: >125 LibraryCin: Our policy gives authors and publishers 4 weeks from the end of a giveaway to get digital copies to winners (8 weeks for paper copies, which must be mailed), so January giveaways would not be considered "overdue" until February 24th.

That said, it's always a good idea to check your spam folder, during the delivery period, as I receive many reports of author and publisher emails ending up there.

I have PM'd both of you, to confirm contact details, just in case the book does not arrive by the 24th.

>126 QueenAlyss: Clicking on Not Received on your ER wins page will remove the giveaway from consideration, when it comes to your reviewing score, but it does not notify me that you have not received your book yet.

To do that, you still need to post here. You can also reach out to me via PM, or via email (abigailadams@librarything.com) if you prefer.

I have now PM'd you, in order to confirm your email address, and will contact the author on your behalf.

>133 AbigailAdams26: Thanks. I was certain it was too early. It did end up coming yesterday, so yay for that!

>135 LibraryCin: I'm glad it arrived!

>128 AbigailAdams26: The eBook arrived today. Thanks Abigail for your help.

Tony

>137 Tatoosh: That's great! I'm glad it arrived, and hope that you enjoy it.
