GUIDE FOR THOSE NEW TO THESE ROUNDS.

Quick 'start-up' summary for anyone new who might be scratching their heads. You are reviewing the four books 'below' you on the list.

You can, of course, choose to buy any or all of the books or read the books on KU, if you are a subscriber and the books are available there. If you can buy it adds weight to your review as it gives the 'Verified Purchase' stamp on Amazon.

However, as not everyone can buy, you should PM the four people who will be reviewing you (the four above you on the original list of names) through their Goodreads author pages. Click on the down arrow beside the 'Follow Author' button under their picture and it opens a menu which will allow you to message them.
Ask what kind of file they would like or say you can only offer PDF.
Don't forget to ask where to send it so they can give you their email.
The four people who you are reviewing should be in touch with you in a similar way.

Please make sure you have exchanged ALL FOUR books - or have been assured by your reviewers they will buy your book or read it through KU - as soon as possible.

Some people read fast and it can be very frustrating to have to wait a long time to get hold of a book you are committed to review.

Don't forget to post the links to your reviews here so you can be signed off for them.

Please post your review to Goodreads, your own Amazon store and any other Amazon stores you might have access to as well.

I will be modding this round. Please PM me ongoing with any issues. Thanks.

Please remember the commitment you are making to your fellow group members. If you pull out after the start date for any reason it is the other members who will be faced with the problem of finding a replacement, or missing out on reads/reviews, through no fault of their own. Please don’t ask the moderators to chase after replacements as we just don’t have the time.

It is the responsibility of the author to get their book to their readers in a format the reviewer can manage. Everyone must be able to provide and accept PDF. You may buy or borrow the books you are due to read if you wish, and I’m sure the author will appreciate the verified review, but IT IS NOT COMPULSORY. There are no set dates for the start of each round. You can each work at your own pace, within the limits of the round deadlines.

All reviews must be posted to GR. We also encourage members to post on Amazon. When you have posted your reviews, please post the links to each of your reviews, not the book page in this thread.
The mod of each round will record whether members have posted reviews on Amazon and for the good of all, members who persistently fail to post reviews or DNF reviews to Amazon, will find mods less than willing to add them to subsequent groups.

Postings to other sites are by agreement by both author and reviewer.

If I’ve missed something that results in you being asked to review someone who has already reviewed you, please let me know asap.

To exchange book files, my advice is to use PM to give email addresses to each other (save the chance of spammers getting your addies from this open forum).

Setting up and modding these rounds is a labour of love, with a lot of emphasis on the ‘labour’. If you want to show appreciation for all the hard work we admins put in for the group, you could download one of our books as a ‘thank you’.

Thank you for the goodreads review, Terry.

Everyone, we're nearly ready! As soon as Seth reports if he's good to go, assuming he is, we'll be able to get started!

Seth, are you good to go?

Thanks for the goodreads review Whittney!

Seth, David Olson and Neil, are you three Good to Go? Let us know!

Thanks for the goodreads review, Liane.

Malik, once everyone has confirmed that they are good to go, you will be assigned to review four people. In return, four other people will be assigned to review you.

I have checked the people above and below me, and I am good to go!

Thank you, Di and Seth.
EVERYONE, I need you all to check the four people above you to see if you've reviewed them. Also, check the people below you to see if they have ever reviewed you.
PLEASE DO NOT RELY ON MEMORY!
To check if the four people below you have ever reviewed you, go to each author's profile.
Below their pictures you will see some links.
Click the middle link that shows how many reviews they've done. When you get to the page that shows the books they've reviewed, type your name (and any pen names you might have) in the box that says "Search and add books". If your books do not come up, you're clear there.

Then, check to see if you have reviewed the four people above you. To do that, go to your own profile.
Click the link below your own picture that shows how many reviews you've done.
In the box that says "Search and add books" type in one of the names of the four authors above you. Repeat the same with the other three names one at a time. If none of their books come up as having been reviewed by you, you are clear there.

If none of the 4 people below you have reviewed you, and you have not reviewed any of the 4 people above you, please come here, and type "Good to go" or something similar.

Once all 10 people have done so, then we will be ready to begin.
