She has had my manuscript since July of 2018, I had given up. She contacted me in December, wanted to know if it was still available. That she would be reading it soon. As in next.

I hadn't heard from her since February, but she sent a very nice (unsolicited) email today (12/20/19) saying that she is still reading and apologizing for taking a while. So don't be depressed if she's had your MS a while! Looks like she is reading everything.

Penelope currently has two of my fulls, and she requested to see this manuscript when I nudged her for the previous fulls.

4/24: Requested during DVPit.
10/12: Form rejection.

I nudged her back in June and she replied she was "looking forward to reading." Whenever it takes this long on a partial/full, I always hope they'll offer some insight into their thoughts but alas. This feels more like a house-cleaning then anything.
