Abby’s comments from the Self-Published Only Club group.

Thank you!

Hi All,

I know I haven't been on here much in the last couple months. Keeping up with this, our club IG page, my personal IG page and now our engagement group has proven time consuming. Joanie and I are working hard to keep all going and engaging, but we're definately open to help. Please don't hesitate to get conversations going or keep them active when you notice we're MIA.

We appreciate all of you and I know the authors we support do as well!

Hi James. We do a poll each month to select it. In April we took suggestions on our IG page. Out of those we voted and there were several that were very close. So we read one in April, one in May, and now this one in June. We'll have a new poll next week for July. As far as what ends up on the polls i take suggestions and then also the moderators come up with them.

I'm a little late, but as agreed, our June BOTM is The City of Broken Girls

Be sure to download a copy, read, and post your link here.

Happy Reading!

Time is almost up, get those reviews posted and linked before the end of the month.

Happy Reading!

Thank you, James!

This is awesome!

In May we'll be reading Irish Town from one of our group authors. Feel free to get started and be sure to leave the link to your review here.

Last chance to get our April book read!

Now that our page has been accepted to a few engagement groups, I think a train will be even more successful. We'll do one in May. I'll keep everyone posted.

I'll go ahead and approve it since it's because of your privacy settings.

One of our members brought this to my attention, and it seems legit.

Please create a bookbub account if you haven't already, and follow your favorite authors. This helps these authors with getting their books recommended and seen.

If you're an author, please drop the link to your bookbub below. I'll try to compile them into one thread in a week or so to make it easier.

Oh, and also, please be patient with me and Joanie. We're learning, and with this being a holiday weekend, we might not immediately reply to your request. BUt don't worry. We will.

To join ------- If you're using a computer, you can click this link to go to the page. https://www.instagram.com/we.lov3.books/

If you're using an app, you'll need to find our account in the search. It's we.lov3.books

Once you get to our account, follow all three of the admins. That's me, Joanie, & self_published_only_club. All three are listed in the group discription. Then, please click message and send a message saying you want to join. Then click request to join. We will have to delete requests to join that don't send us a message, because they could be random people not realizing it's an engagement group. So be sure to follow all three steps.

Once you do, Joanie or I one will respond with a brief copy of the rules. We will ask you to confirm you're agreement, and once you do, we'll approve your request.

After you're approved, you'll need to read the detailed rules on the account feed. They're the only things on there right now, so it's easy peasy.

I hope this helps, but if you have trouble, please comment here. Also, if you already sent a request to join but didn't DM, please be sure to DM us by Monday, or we'll delete the request to join to open up spots for other people.

Alright, Ya'll. Our engagement group is up and running. For the next few days, we will only let book club members in. That way all of you that want to join can, and we don't risk filling up.

We think we'll cap it at 50 followers for now. So the idea is you tag the group, everyone likes it, and that's 50 people engaging with your post. That helps it show up higher under hashtags and in other peoples feeds.

Please understand, that you must follow the rules. If you don't, you get a strike. 3 strikes and you're out. Please forgive us for that, but we have to make it fair for everyone.

Joanie and I have worked to line everything out, and make sure it's clear what's expected. I'll make a seperate post walking you through requesting to join.

It's never too late!

We have created the engagement group. We ended up having to go with We.Lov3.Books. I will post here when we begin accepting follow requests. Probably within a few days. Joanie and I are getting all the rules and processes laid out.
