Is there a way (and if not, could there be a way) to access a list of books I've requested in the past via the early reviewer program? I'd like to be able to look up books that I requested but didn't get, and now that they've been out there for a while, check out their reviews to see if I'm interested enough to purchase them.
In the same vein, how about forming a library, similar to the legacy libraries, that just contains all of the books posted on early reviewer, tagged with the month it was put up, so anyone could look up the reviews on any of the past books?

Anonymous, there's been such a library for more than a year now:
http://www.librarything.com/catalog/EarlyReviewers
unless I'm misunderstanding what you mean by "similar to the legacy libraries".
You can't see which you've requested, so if there have been enough that you don't remember you may just have to hope they still sound interesting.
Nope, that's exactly what I was looking for (the tagging is even how I envisioned it). I didn't know it was there because there doesn't seem to be a link to it anywhere on the early reviewers page.
Can a person not see what's been requested because that data isn't retained after the request period is over, or because there just isn't a structure for users to query that database?
Having no interest in the ER program I've never before had any interest in looking at that catalogue. (And like craigim I didn't know it existed.)
But for the purposes of sorting by tags would it not be better to have them in the format of "2009-03" instead of "March 2009" so you could easily have the newest releases at the top? A lot of work to change it now unless power edit has been reinstated, but I'm sure that there'd be some volunteer willing to take the time (Me for example).
You could just sort them by date added.
Why is the Hunger Games an ER. Its already been out for quite a while.
So was "Fermin" from two months ago. Sometimes its a new publisher just trying to get out the word again, sometimes it's for new marketing campaigns... something like that generally.
