Authors:I had to rearrange some of the participants between the two groups to avoid conflicts. Please review the new list in the initial post of this topic and let me know about any new conflicts. I will post the review schedule in a few days.

If you are not in the group but signed up, go to:
https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
You are in that group. You will need to post a comment or click on the follow the discussion link to get notifications about updates to that group.
In joining this review group you have agreed to review the novels assigned to you on a two month schedule. This group is now in the review phase and is no longer open for sign up.This is Young Adult Review Group 11. (This includes all works intended for the Young Adult audience.) As with other review groups, you will be expected to read and give an honest review of the books assigned to you. Assignments will be made after the group sign-up has filled.
Participants are expected to post reviews to Goodreads. If the review is positive (three stars or higher on Amazon), the review should be posted to Amazon (US and UK) as well, if the book is available there. This makes having accounts with both Goodreads and Amazon.com a requirement.
If a reviewer and the author agree that the review should not be posted to Goodreads due to quality issues, the reviewer is relieved of the requirement of posting the review. If this occurs in the first round, the second reviewer is relieved of the requirement to read and review the book. This is entirely at the discretion of the reviewer and is not intended in any way to manipulate the rating of any book.
Contact the authors you are scheduled to review to arrange to receive a review copy of their work. Note that Amazon has made a minor change in how reviews are displayed. As long as a review that is not verified as a purchase is recent, it will be displayed on the book's Amazon page. Once it rolls off, it will still be counted in the ranking of the book, but the link to show more reviews has been modified by Amazon to show only reviews that come from verified purchases. Authors may consider gifting their book to assigned reviewers so that they will qualify as verified purchases. Reviewers may bypass this limitation by offering to purchase the books assigned to them. All of this is voluntary. Authors may still provide review copies for free, and reviewers can still post reviews to Amazon that are not from a verified purchase. This change in Amazon policy has no effect on Goodreads.
Please post to this topic, both when you receive review copies and when you post the reviews.
If you are going to be late with your review, either post to this topic as soon as possible or message the author and the moderator.
If your book has not been reviewed by the deadline for either round, contact the review group moderator. This is necessary to make certain that the review process is fair for everyone.
Note that any participant who makes no effort to fulfill his or her commitment to this group will have all reviews of his or her work resulting from this group deleted and his or her membership in the Genre Specific Review Group will be terminated.

I have finished reading The Ares Weapon and am in discussion with the author about how to proceed. We may need a couple of days to complete the process.R.

Molly wrote: "Can we make a change to the second round.Anthony is reviewing my book = can you assign to someone else. Not Lucy either, LOL.
Teresa? Can they switch?"
No. Due to other conflicts, the only way the schedule works is if Anthony reviews your book. I did ask the group before posting the schedule if this was okay. (See my post to this topic on December 29.) For example, if Teresa switched with Anthony, you and Teresa would be reviewing each other's books in the second round. This was the best schedule I could produce based on the conflicts. If this is unacceptable to you, message me and we will look into another solution.

Go to Anthony Stancomb's author page. There is a "Follow Author" button. To the right is a gray down arrow. Click on the arrow. The menu displayed will have an option to send a message.
I noticed that your page does not have this on it. You might want to contact Goodreads support to get that fixed.
R.
Authors:The schedule of review has been published in the initial post of this topic. Please post a comment to this topic, when you obtain your review copies and when you post your reviews.
R.
As long as it is all right with the group that Anthony reviews Molly, I can generate a schedule. Otherwise, we will need to open the group up for a seventh participant.Is everyone okay with this?
R.
Authors:We now have six participants. The list of books has been updated in the initial post of this topic. Please let me know as soon as possible of any conflicts. Note that a description of a change to Amazon policy has been described in the initial post of this topic. Take this into consideration when obtaining copies of books for review.
I will post a schedule of review in a day or two.
