Do You Remember What You Requested?

Just curious -- do you keep a record of what you've requested from the ER books? Or do you occasionally get notified that you've won something you have no memory of requesting?

That's happened to me a couple of times -- most recently tonight, when I got notice that I'd won a copy of Whiteland (The Whiteland Novels, Book 1). I never knowingly request books that are part of a series.

Not a big deal -- I probably did request it without realizing it was part of a series. Or maybe I should start making a list or my requests!

If you click on Mark a Book as Not Received (on the Early Reviwers group main page), then in the upper left corner of that page is a link to Books You’ve Requested.

You know you can look up LT's record of your requests?

That doesn't necessarily clarify for you whether you did it knowingly or purposefully! But it does provide a handy list.

From the Early Reviewers module, you can click Books Requested for either ER or Member giveaways.

Thanks to all who pointed me toward the ER module and how to check the "Books Requested" list!

I certainly don't remember, and for me part of the joy is reading the ER titles unencumbered by any preconceptions of what they may be 'about'. Given that some of them don't turn up for a couple of months, by which time I've read a vast number of book precise on the ER lists and many actual books, remembering would be extremely unlikely.
