I totally understand sometimes things happen. I just hope to avoid a
particular kind of intentional pattern, not what you are describing. (smile)

E, sometimes books that I hold for a while because I've been working on them get knocked out of my queue because I happen to be gone during my renewal days, and in time I have to go pick them up again. These are marked as released whether I intentionally released them or not. Just some info worth having...
Also fyi, I hate validating fiction and won't do it unless the synopsis really captures my attention because it tends to scan badly in my experience. I will pick up lots of fair nonfiction and spend hours and hours cleaning it up so that it's good or even excellent, which is why I hold books for so long. But I won't do it for fiction because the reasons for the fair ratings are entirely different and it's very difficult to fix. Fair nonfiction tends to be fair because of difficult fonts and errors in the middles of words that I can interpret. Fair fiction tends to be fair because of missing words at the ends and beginnings of lines. It's impossible to fix these without getting the books and re-scanning, and if I have to do that then I believe the scanner should re-scan the book.
