Dear Jim,It couldn't hurt to ask Claire, as long as you don't mind if the answer goes either way. If you sent an e-mail to her with a list of your books and the date your membership expires, she might be able to arrange for them to be approved in time. Unless there are extenuating circumstances, the staff tries to accommodate us.
If that doesn't work, you can let your membership lapse and your credits will continue to accumulate. As soon as you reach fifty dollars you can rejoin. Though your access to books will be interrupted for a while, you'll still be able to participate as a volunteer.
You might also ask your validators to mention your need for the credit for your renewal in the comments field when they upload.
Though I would hate for my membership to be lapsed, say, the day Harry Potter is released, I've downloaded so many books that, except for special publishing events, I'd be well stocked with reading so I'd be unlikely to miss my membership while I waited for those last approvals.
Always with love, Lissi----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim" <jazzpiano@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Cindy, I do have several books in the list for administrator approval, and Ijust want enough of them approved to make my subscription free for next year. I need 7 of them approved. I thought there was more than one person approving books. I stand corrected. It's too bad we can't all meet and have lunch or something. What fun that would be. We could have a book share volunteer convention. Smile. Keep me posted on the chat room's happenings please Cindy, and I'll be checking in tonight after I get home from the restaurant. Thanks for this info.

But she seems to approve whenever she has a chance, not only during her workday bnut also on weekends and at night. I send an email list of books that have been approved each day to those who prefer to have it in their email than to have to go online to check. If you'd like to receive it that way I'll be happy to add you. If you have a particular book on the list and would like it approved because you need it for credit or need to read it, it's possible that Claire can expedite approval of it. It used to be able to be done. She's now approving books in the order in which they were uploaded, which is something we've been asking for for a long time. Intersting that you're a professional jazz pianist. I just found out that one of our regular used-book store patrons is, also, and has been for 30 years. Cool. And Mickey Prahin's husband also plays piano professionally and has for quite some time. He has several CDs out.

So, I won't be able to be at the chat room. Would someone please ask why there seems to be a log jam to get books approved by the administration? There are a lot of books waiting for them to approve them and the list keeps getting bigger. Let those of us know what went on there please.
