I don’t know if your parents did this–or if this is still a thing that people do–but when the odometer in one of our family cars was getting close to a big round number–like 80,000 for example–my dad would make a big deal about it, count down a little bit and we’d all have to watch the numbers scroll to the string of zeroes. This is about as close to that as I get–which says more about me than the other did my father. Yesterday, my NetGalley reviews hit a landmark of sorts.
I feel like I’ve been spending more time on NetGalley over the last year or so than I have been before–that’s just an impression, when I think about it, I know I’ve actually been showing restraint lately. Either way, last night, I hit:
I didn’t even realize I was that close to it, but I saw that out of the corner of my eye when I checked my Feedback Ratio to make sure I’m near my target. I’m at 97% currently, not to brag, but I actually think that’s more impressive than the 200.
Driven by curiosity, I checked and it took me 3 years, 3 months, and 29 days from posting my first NetGalley book to my 100th, and 4 years, 1 month, and 5 days after that to get to my 200th. Yeah, I am slowing down. Guess I’ll hit 300 in late 2028/early 2029.
I can’t believe I made jokes using those two dates.
