Hi, Lisa. I do believe that is wrong, although I do believe that's the way it should be. *smile* Some books are submitted one day and on the site within a few days, while some have been waiting for admin approval for weeks or even longer, so they're not approved on a first come, first served basis. Take care.

If I'm not mistaken, (which I very well could be), it's kind of a first-come first-serve basis. That is, the books get approved in the order they are received. Unless, it was a requested book or it is a very popular best-selling book. Some can correct me if i'm wrong.
