Hello, I responded to an email today (October 3, 2023) about books available for review with a special deadline "meaning the review will need to be completed within two weeks from today". I chose to read "Canaries Among Us..." believing that I had two weeks to read and review the book, but after reaching the download page, the page indicated that "The below review has an important special final deadline of October 3rd, 2023 at 11:00am EDT. That special final deadline is not the deadline for the next status update, but rather that is a special deadline by which the final review is needed." Considering that I chose the book about 2 minutes before the 11:00 a.m. "final" deadline, how do I get this book out of my queae and avoid getting tons of warnings about not hitting my deadline??

This is so weird, right? Something similar happened to me. I just finished the book and moved on to be sincere. I'm still waiting for final approval.

Well, I have had a similar experience. But I just followed the 2-week deadline/final deadline mentioned prior. I did not receive any emails or warnings. It is obviously practically impossible to review a book in under 2 minutes. I think it was a glitch in your case as well as mine. I was paid promptly for my review after I submitted it within 2 weeks.
