Loralee’s comments from the Review Group group.

Everyone, remember you should have sent your books to the people who are to review you, by now and gotten them from the people whom you are to review. You need to have the ability to send and receive, at least, PDFs, per rule #5 which Rik posted in the first message:
"5. You can provide (and accept) at least PDF files.
You are not expected or required to buy the books you are allocated to review, but as this will give a ‘Verified Purchase’ review on Amazon, it is welcomed when you choose to do so. Many authors have books available via KU and others might provide smashwords coupons. Most authors can provide mobi and/or epub files directly by email. Please note: International Copyright laws apply. You cannot sell, or give away material you have received without the author’s express permission."

Cecilia, this is how you find, copy, and paste your Goodreads review.

When logged into Goodreads, look at the menu at the top of the screen. You will see
Home My Books Browse Community
Click on My Books.
Click on Date Added, so the books you have most recently reviewed show at the top.
On the book whose review you need to post, click on "view"
That will take you to the review. Copy the address from the address bar at the top of the page.

Then paste it on this thread.

Doing that, will help save Rik time. Posting links to both your goodreads and amazon reviews helps count toward your completed reviews.

Also, Cecilia, your 1st review to Amazon does not go to the review. Your review is here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-re...

I've gotten a few friends requests from some of you. We know Amazon doesn't like review swapping, but I've also heard that they downgrade reviews from readers who are friends. Now that Amaz..."
I agree with Scott. My friends list is short for that reason.

Go for it, Rik!

Rik, I think that's everybody.

Rik, when you copy and paste a link from a post, it doesn't grab the whole address. That might be the reason.

I am good to go!
Yes, no one should be asking for books, or asking for emails to send books to, yet.
Since things have been changed a little, and we need to confirm again.

I am also still good to go.

You're doing great, Rik!

For myself, I am good to go!

Also, Rik, you need to make sure everyone on the list checks in with a "Good to go" or something equivalent to that, to make sure everyone on the list is still invested in the group and no one has wandered off.

Also, even if you have checked, we all need to check our own conflicts and made sure we haven't reviewed any of the four above us (including any multiple pen names we might have), and none of the four below us have reviewed us.

Cecilia, you'd need to make sure you let Gene know you were leaving (for now) the Clean group, since you can't be in the two groups at once.

Trish, it looks like you can fit. Since Rik is the mod, let's see what he says.

I have read Joseph Carrabis, Arriah Kriprujistho, and J.R. Gibson.
If there is a way to move David MacNamera to J.R.'s spot (my blind spot) and move the others up one spot without disrupting other clashes, that would work.

K.T. has reviewed me.

Adilyn and Scott Sargent have not read me or been read by me yet.

I’ve read 7 Spirits 4 Friends by David, so he can't review me.

Rik, might I slip into spot 3 with Ephraim's Garden? https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

K.T. Munson has reviewed me. Scott Peters has reviewed me.
I have reviewed Joseph Carrabis and Arriah Kiprujistho

I have checked both ways, and it appears that I have not read or been read by Scott M. Sargent
